Her Loving Husband's Curse
About this ebook
How far would you go to shield the ones you love from a history that refuses to stay buried?
After centuries of solitude, Professor James Wentworth has finally found a fragile peace. Alongside his wife, Sarah, he has begun to settle the echoes of the Salem Witch Trials and rebuild a life out of the wreckage of the past. But for the Wentworths, the past isn't a memory—it is a predator.
While Sarah is gripped by a new wave of visceral visions, James is forced to confront a darker chapter of his long survival: the harrowing days of the Trail of Tears. As the shadows of his time with the Cherokee return to haunt him, James realizes that immortality is not just a gift of time, but a collection of scars.
The stakes turn lethal when Kenneth Hempel, a man consumed by a singular, obsessive quest, nears the truth of James’s impossible nature. In an age of reason, Hempel’s hunt for the "unnatural" threatens to ignite a modern-day hysteria. To protect Sarah and their future, James must face his ghosts and decide if their love can survive the crushing weight of his longest-held secrets.
A lush, atmospheric descent into the heart of memory, where the greatest curse is not death—but the inability to forget.
