Description
England, 1605. When Lord Arik, a druid knight, finds Rebeka Tyler wandering his lands without protection, he swears to keep her safe. But Rebeka can take care of herself. When Arik sees her clash with a group of attackers using a strange fighting style, he's intrigued.
Rebeka is no ordinary 17th-century woman - she's travelled back from the year 2011, and she desperately wants to return to her own time. She poses as a scholar sent by the king to find out what's killing Arik's land. But as she works to decode the ancient runes that are the key to solving this mystery and sending her home, she finds herself drawn to the charismatic and powerful Arik.
As Arik and Rebeka fall in love, someone in Arik's household schemes to keep them apart, and a dark druid with a grudge prepares his revenge. Soon Rebeka will have to decide whether to return to the future or trust Arik with the secret of her time travel and her heart.

This book mesmerized me with plot, writing and romance. Time travel at its best. What I liked the best from the book was the fact that the story includes a secret. That itself kept me want to read the book even more.
This is the author I have to investigate for and keep reading!💗

Ok so I really enjoyed this book, there was so much story going on but I never felt lost. This was exciting and captivating, I will say the ending had me a little with a ..... what just happened here..... this more definitely not a cliff hanger, but almost like hitting a wall. The story just comes to an end rather quickly. But I loved it and I look forward to reading ore from this author.

Loved the story. It is extremely well written, entertaining and full of surprises. While in London inquiring about an unexpected inheritance, Rebeka accidentally gets caught up in a portal and travels back in time four hundred years where she meets Lord Arik. Things are not always as they appear, there is magic involved and a great deal of danger. Rebeka is a strong woman and in this new time setting she is just as strong which makes for some interesting interactions considering how women were perceived at that time. It is also a beautiful love story and there ate even more disclosed surprises and secrets that I would never have thought possible. It is a great story and look forward to the next book in this series. I would highly recommend this book for a great read.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for awarding me with this ARC.
Knight of Runes is a wonderful tale that has a very Outlander vibe to it but is still a story on its own. I really enjoyed this book, more than I had imagined. I like how there is a built-up and we get to know Rebeka and her life in modern day society. She is as mysterious as she is independent and while we learn a few things about her history and past, I do feel as the author could've explored that more. As I progressed in the book I had quite some questions and some have been left unanswered.
We meet Lord Arik and his family and while I initially really disliked him I started to grow fond of him along the way. This book has very interesting characters, a wonderful setting and of course we all love a good time travel romance. I was glad to see the romance was built slowly and not sudden. It makes for a more realistic image of love growing between people.
There were also a few things I wasn't a big fan of. At times the book feels rushed which is a shame because I really appreciate the author's good balance in the beginning of the book. I also felt as if sometimes things just happened to easily or too quickly. For someone who has just traveled from 2011 to the 1600's, Rebeka is awfully calm and collected. Not that I minded it much but I could imagine why people would find the book to be slightly unbelievable.
That doesn't take away though that I really enjoyed this story and I'm quite curious to see what the author has come up with for the sequel! All in all this is a book for anyone who loves fantasy and romance, lords and ladies, a beautiful setting. It will give you a relaxing and enjoyable break from your own life.
