The Prequel, Shadows of Blackheart Series

Life’s closest bonds severed. Making pilgrimage to a sacred land, can a woman find her place in the world teasing out her family’s past in Scotland?

Photojournalist Kenna Alford grieves. After losing her parents and father figure just years apart, she’s devastated when her long-time boyfriend abandons her at her uncle’s funeral. So ready for a change, she places her property in capable hands and heads to the land of her forbears—Alba.

A plan forms in the intrepid woman’s mind to cover the return of Scotland’s coronation stone for her magazine. Observing firsthand how burdened her cousin becomes by holding onto her landmark house filled with tintypes, wardrobes, chifferobes, and the ghosts that play in them, she takes only a letter from her family’s past to pacify them. Never dreaming this will catapult her into an older and newer world of danger and secret societies, she walks right into an international plot begun generations back.

Kenna rejects well-meaning threats and dire predictions. Never one to ignore the call of danger, she dives headlong into the unknown to begin at a castle where secret assignments seethe concerning her. And the deadly stakes are real.

In breaking away from that Southern glue inheritance, will a cursed legacy send her to ruin, or will she finally find purpose and love?
