Description

During a quiet overnight shift in rural Maine, Dr. Luke Findley encounters Lanore McIlvrae, a mysterious woman brought to the hospital under suspicion of murder. As she recounts a centuries-spanning story of obsessive love, betrayal, and an unnatural bargain, Luke is drawn into a haunting mystery rooted in the region’s Puritan past. Blending historical fiction with supernatural suspense, the novel explores the consuming power of desire, the cost of immortality, and the difficult search for redemption.
