An eerie, elegiac tale of secrets and spirits at the Clock House.

A grand country estate near the Hudson becomes the stage for memory, motive, and a web of missing and misused power. In this Victorian gothic novel, Etherians—spirits who linger around the living—watch over a dying patriarchy and a family torn by ambition, love, and danger.

As the story unfolds, the clock’s slow toll marks more than time. It hints at old loyalties, buried grudges, and the fragile lines between life and what follows. The living and the departed intersect in rooms filled with tension, where clever manipulation and moral choice ripple through generations. The book builds a mood of brooding suspense, with an atmosphere thick enough to feel in every doorway and corridor.

Impatient heirs, secret plots, and a fight for control of a family estate.
An ensemble of Etherians who glimpse the past while shaping the present.
Spirits guiding or thwarting the living, especially around a young woman at risk.
A blend of romance, danger, and moral reckoning set against a historic American backdrop.

Ideal for readers who enjoy atmospheric turn-of-the-century fiction, family drama, and paranormal-tinged mysteries.

"An Angel in a Web" is a gripping period piece that invites you to peer behind the clock’s face and into the hearts of those who would move the world from shadow to light.
