Description
When Seraphine Mayes returns to her family’s isolated estate, a decades-old photograph and the unsettling circumstances surrounding her mother’s death awaken doubts about her own identity and the story she has always been told. As she begins to investigate, the trail leads back to the family’s wartime past, where the lives of three women were shaped by loyalty, courage, and secrets. Moving between past and present, this atmospheric psychological thriller steadily unravels a tangled legacy of love, betrayal, and hidden truths. With its Gothic setting and carefully paced revelations, it offers an absorbing portrait of the ways families construct—and conceal—their histories.
