Some women are born to defy fate. Cornwall, 1620. Mary Wilby flees her brutal uncle's house to board the Lady Grace as a colonial bride bound for Virginia. She prays that marriage to plantation owner John Forrester will bring the peace and security she craves, but she soon discovers her new husband harbors deadly secrets. Only one man offers her hope of escape from this waking nightmare: Walker, a half-English, half-Native American man haunted by his own tragic past. But their carefully laid plans for escape take a devastating turn... Present day. When Quinn Allenby discovers a woman's remains sealed within a Cornish cave, the bone hair comb buried alongside shows her visions of unspeakable doom. And as she witnesses Mary's desperate struggles in the New World, Quinn's own life unravels: her twin sister Jo has vanished, and her family stands on the brink of collapse. Quinn has always understood what it takes to survive, but can Mary's haunting legacy teach her the true power of taking control of her own destiny? A powerful story of courage, betrayal, and the unbreakable bonds that transcend time. Perfect for fans of Diana Gabaldon, Susanna Kearsley, and Barbara Erskine.
