Fifth step

Nightmares don’t lie. For years, Hannah has relived the same dream — five steps, a whisper in the shadows, and a deadly stab in the back. No therapy or medication can silence the visions that pull her deeper into a forgotten past. When her husband barely survives a mysterious car accident, a cryptic message sends Hannah on a journey from Warsaw to the crumbling ruins of a medieval castle.

What she discovers unlocks memories not her own, a forgotten identity from the 14th century, and a murder that changed the course of history. As echoes of the Union of Kreva stir in her dreams, ancient symbols and forbidden rituals point to a hidden cult that still casts its shadow.

Time begins to twist. Hannah must unravel a centuries-old betrayal before it consumes her present — and her family.

Fifth Step is a gripping blend of historical fiction and paranormal suspense, perfect for fans of Kate Mosse’s Labyrinth and Diane Setterfield’s The Thirteenth Tale.
