The Hidden Grove

Produktbeschreibung

The Brookwood Mysteries have always been more than tales of secrets and shadows-they are stories of legacy, love, and the ways the past whispers into the present. Now, in the breathtaking conclusion to this bestselling series, readers are invited back to Brookwood for its most haunting and luminous chapter yet. After seasons of unraveling hidden vows and unspoken histories, Marley Taylor and Damien Hawthorne stand at the threshold of a new beginning. Their engagement promises joy, yet the town's most mysterious inheritance demands their attention: the grove above Brookwood, a place of moss-covered stones, forgotten rituals, and a spiral path that seems to breathe with memory itself. It begins with discovery-a ring of stones revealed after a late frost, a bloom that no botanist can identify, a wax-sealed box with maps drawn in cipher and initials tied to healers long erased. Each clue leads Marley and Damien deeper into the story of a secret society-the Order of the Grove-whose rituals once bound the community in balance. Yet the ledger of its members reveals not only devotion, but betrayal. Visions overtake Marley: dreams of women robed in green, flames rising in the clearing, a sacred seed stolen under a blood moon. Her waking hours carry their marks-soot on her palms, soil beneath her nails-as if the veil between past and present has thinned beyond repair. Damien, torn between honoring his late wife's unfinished notes and building a new legacy with Marley, must decide whether love can carry more than one inheritance. Together, they confront the possibility that Brookwood's grove is not merely history to be studied, but a living archive demanding restoration. The circle begins to reform. Seven women step forward, each bearing a gift-herb, stone, silence, light-each risking not only tradition but themselves. Candles flicker in the night, compasses spin wildly, and the grove itself begins to respond. Yet with Claire, a young botanist with a contested legacy, pressing ever closer to claim what her grandmother once betrayed, Marley must determine whether healing is possible without trust-and whether redemption can root itself in tainted soil. At the heart of this sweeping final volume lies a question that resonates far beyond Brookwood: what does it mean to inherit mystery not as secrecy, but as promise? As unseasonal blooms flood the grove, as a spring opens where none has flowed for generations, as children press seeds into soil with whispered vows, Marley learns the answer. Legacy is not possession. Legacy is circle. Rich with lyrical atmosphere, gothic tension, and profound romantic depth, The Hidden Grove brings together every thread of the Brookwood Mysteries-The Bookshop Secret, The Bridge of Echoes, The Lighthouse Prophecy, and The Winter Bell-into a finale that will leave readers breathless, weeping, and inspired. It is a story of broken vows and restored circles, of flame and seed, of love rooted so deeply that it can carry both the living and the dead. Step into the spiral. Listen to the trees. The grove is waiting. And once you hear its call, you will never leave Brookwood the same.
