In 1848 Scotland, where towering castles, mist-cloaked glens, and forgotten ruins still whisper of an ancient world, the past is not as silent as it seems.
Lady Evelyn Edeglair was born to a life of privilege—one mapped out by duty, wealth, and an unwanted marriage. But Evelyn refuses to follow that path. When a mysterious necklace bound to her bloodline awakens strange powers within her, she escapes into the Highlands with the one man she truly loves: Alexander MacEirden, a shipwright of outlawed Highland blood and a former soldier.
Yet freedom comes at a price. Dark forces pursue them across the wild north, drawn to the ancient Runebound Artifacts—mythic relics said to bend fate and even awaken the dead. In a forgotten graveyard deep within the hills, Evelyn and Alexander uncover a secret that could reshape their world.
Hunted by ruthless enemies and shadowed by beasts of legend and angelic figures alike, Evelyn must embrace her newfound strength and the deeper truth of the Artifacts. For love, destiny, and life itself now hang in the balance.
Follow a heroine who dares to defy her fate—and fight for a future written by her own hand.
Ebook Illustration Notice
This ebook contains illustrations created in a style inspired by authentic 19th-century engraving and gravure techniques, characterized by fine linework, dense cross-hatching, and dark tonal ranges.
The appearance of these illustrations may vary depending on the reader’s device, screen technology, resolution, brightness and contrast settings, and display mode (including e-ink screens, tablets, smartphones, grayscale rendering, or dark mode). As a result, certain details, textures, or tonal subtleties may appear different from the original artwork or from the printed edition.
Additionally, some images may be difficult to perceive for readers with visual impairments or color-vision deficiencies, or on devices with limited contrast capabilities.
For the most accurate visual representation and full artistic intent of the illustrations, the high-resolution digital edition (print replica) is recommended.
