Cradit comes The Secrets Amongst the Cypress, Volume 8 in the bestselling witches family saga, The House of Crimson & Clover. Not a standalone story, Secret's plot makes the most sense only after having the prior volumes. Amelia and Jacob have landed in a very familiar where. The when is a whole other matter. Jacob's first experience time traveling leaves him and Amelia stranded in 1861 Louisiana on the cusp of the Civil War. With no luggage and no invitation, they find themselves at the mercy of Charles and Brigitte Deschanel, who, for now, believe they are cousins visiting from abroad. The tragic circumstances which led them to flee the present now leave them both struggling to make sense of their own individual grief. Amelia's sorrow drives her further from Jacob, and into the strange world of an eccentric man, Victor, who knows all too much about her. Jacob's heartache leaves him cynical and weary, losing sight of who he is and was destined to become. As the strange and terrible dynamics of the nineteenth century Deschanel family come to light, Amelia and Jacob are each drawn into the family's complex web in myriad ways, challenging everything they held to be true. These revelations drive a deeper wedge between the couple, placing them in grave danger, from those around them... but also from themselves. The hands of time have taken hold, and the clock is ticking. The longer they stay, the greater the risk of losing everything. The Saga of Crimson & Clover: A sprawling dynasty. An ancient bloodline.
