Secrets of Dervock

Dervock, 1609. A shadowed land on the brink of upheaval with the Ulster Plantation approaching. Beneath the town's quiet surface, Lady Lanecea hides a labyrinth of secrets. Once the mistress of a man who left her heart in tatters, she now walks a fine line between vulnerability and defiance, masking her true power as a timekeeper. Only her most trusted allies, Ryszard and Ulrick, know of her role as a fierce protector against lurking evils.

Then, Pastor Duncan McMurchy arrives-famed as a relentless witch-hunter and righteous Highlander. He bears his own burdens, a passion for truth, and a marriage strained by duty rather than desire. As he crosses paths with Lanecea, he finds himself drawn to the mysterious Lady Lanecea Cunningham. As their bond deepens, both wary and kindred, igniting intrigue and ambition amid the township.

Lanecea's presence begins to capture attention, her alliance with the notorious pastor sparking whispers. With Archibald, the town's ever-watchful strategist, weaving this unexpected friendship into his plans, Dervock becomes a melting pot of hidden desires, unsolved mysteries, and looming threats.

In this battle of alliances and dark ambitions, Lanecea's fractured heart fuels her quest to safeguard those in her orbit. But as powerful forces gather, she must rise as more than just the mysterious esquire's wife-she must become Dervock's unseen protector, navigating her place between worlds with a quiet vengeance that will make her a legend.

This is the first book in the Timeless Whispers of Dervock Saga.
