Shadows of the Ancient Wood

After years of exile, Richard Carlisle and his family have been called back to Heatherfield Hall. For Richard's daughter, Grace, walking back through those doors would open a memory of evil and death she had sought long to forget. Though she emerges from the carriage to face the looming estate with uncertainty, Grace had not anticipated a future friendship with the gardener's son, Jonathan McCarter, a native of Scotland who would win her heart and drive away her demons. Though the slaying of demons has its price, Jonathan would have Grace Carlisle at any cost. Their forbidden love will change everything, exposing all secrets and altering the lives of many, placing the McCarter family at odds with their own lineage. With a Revolutionary War looming across the sea in the colonies, directions once thought solid and sure are about to take divergent paths at the whim of fate.
