Holden Castle has dark, turbulent, secrets and two men find themselves standing in proxy, reliving the roles of tragic figures long since dead.
Tony is an attractive young man recovering from a breakup with the man he thought he would spend the rest of his life with. On the bus from the airport to Holden Castle, which is now an internationally famous four-star hotel and tourist destination, he meets Sean, who has also recently ended a long-term relationship with the woman he thought he was going to marry.
It’s the legend of the castle that’s the biggest draw. Prince Holden had fallen deeply in love with a servant girl but was forced to marry someone else in a marriage fashioned by his father, dubbed the Tyrant King. When his fiancée, Princess Aednat, discovered the secret love, she exposed it, and threw both kingdoms into turmoil.
That is how the story has been told since the thirteenth-century.
From the moment they arrive, Sean and Tony experience a profound sense of déjà vu, as if they’re living their lives and the life of someone else at the same time. Buried deep in the many mysteries of this castle, they discover that they are the secret.
