The Widow's Blood - Paperback

by Jennifer Schulz-Johnston (Author)

What is a dream, exactly? A fleeting whisper of the soul's desires-or a summons to something far greater?

Claire is about to find out.

Accepted into an elite art program in the Scottish Highlands, she sees it as the next step in her creative journey. But the centuries-old castle where she and her classmates will stay-restored by her eccentric Auntie May-holds more than forgotten history. It hums with secrets. It stirs with spirits.

Like her once-widowed mother, Kaya, Claire has always lived with one foot in another world. Her paintings shimmer with a mystery she can't explain. But when her dreams grow more vivid-and begin to bleed into her waking life-Claire can no longer ignore them. In those dreams waits Angus, a thirteenth-century Highlander bound by blood and a brutal curse. And he believes Claire is the one destined to set him free.

As their bond deepens, Claire is torn between the life she knows and a legacy of power she never asked for. But this isn't a love story wrapped in mist-it's a history soaked in blood. The curse that holds Angus is ancient, yes-but it is anything but dormant.

The Widow's Blood is a haunting fantasy of ancestral power, forbidden love, and the price we pay for freedom. Some ghosts want release. Others want revenge.
