And Shadows Will Fall: A Loving Husband Story

The haunting conclusion to the Loving Husband Series. A lyrical exploration of the radical courage required to finally let go of the past.

James Wentworth has outlived eras, empires, and enemies. But after centuries of survival, he discovers that the hardest thing to endure isn't time—it’s memory.

As James settles into the quiet rhythms of a new life with his beloved Sarah and their children, the ghosts of 1692 refuse to remain in the soil of Salem. The trauma of the trials remains a visceral ache, a shadow that threatens the domestic peace he has fought so hard to build. Despite the light of his family’s love, James finds himself trapped in the recurring narrative of his own history.

To break the cycle, James must embark on one final psychological journey. With the help of Olivia Phillips—a woman whose power transcends the boundaries of the known world—James must face the darkness he has carried for three hundred years.

And Shadows Will Fall is a meditation on the grace found in endings and the peace that comes when the shadows finally retreat.
