A lush, Gothic exploration of the endurance of love and the shadows of the Salem Witch Trials.
How long would you wait for a love that refuses to die?
In the salt-worn streets of Salem, Massachusetts, Professor James Wentworth lives as a ghost among the living. A man of deep intellect and deeper secrets, James has spent centuries tethered to the memory of his long-lost wife, Elizabeth. He has mastered the art of the quiet life-until he meets Sarah Alexander.
Sarah bears a haunting resemblance to the wife James buried. But Sarah carries her own inherited darkness. Every night, she is pulled back to 1692, tormented by visceral nightmares of gallows, iron bars, and the frantic hysteria of the Witch Trials.
As James is drawn out of the shadows by his need to protect her, he finds himself hunted by a reporter who believes James is not what he claims to be. Together, James and Sarah must untangle a mystery of blood and memory. In a city where the past is never truly gone, James must decide if he is willing to risk himself to save Sarah from a history that is beginning to repeat itself.
A story of historical echoes, the weight of immortality, and a love that transcends the grave.
