In 1806, Astrid Poole sat in her wedding gown, ready to begin her new life. But before vows became forever, she was murdered, her gold ring stolen. Her last promise to Collin: she would never leave him.
Centuries later, graphic designer Sonya MacTavish inherits her uncle’s grand Victorian mansion in Maine—along with its ghosts. Fresh from a broken engagement, she’s unsettled by her father’s hidden twin and a family history buried until a genealogy site unearthed it. Strange music, moved objects, and eerie portraits point to Astrid, the “first lost bride.”
Sonya soon realizes this isn’t just a haunted inheritance—it’s a curse. To break it, she must unravel Astrid’s tragic past. But the deeper she digs, the closer she comes to repeating history herself.
