"A comfortable suburban housewife and mother, Wendy Kann believes she has put her volatile childhood in colonial Rhodesia - now Zimbabwe - behind her. Then one Sunday morning comes a terrible phone call: her youngest sister, Lauren, has been killed on a lonely road in Zambia. Suddenly unable to ignore the pull of the past, Kann must now return to Africa." "Kann's is a personal journey, set against a backdrop as exotic as it is desolate. Casting back to a privileged colonial childhood of mansions and servants, her story moves through a young adulthood marked by her father's death, her mother's mental illness, and the viciousness of Zimbabwe's bloody civil war. Later, even as she finds herself bewildered by the incongruous sophistication of Manhattan, Kann falls in love, marries, and starts her own family. Not until she is confronted by the vulnerability of the small child her sister has left behind does Kann feel compelled to return to a continent that in so many ways has defined her life."--BOOK JACKET.

In the shattered remnants of Camelot, where dreams of chivalry lie twisted beneath the weight of dark sorcery, a curse festers like an open wound. Once a bastion of hope and valor, the kingdom now languishes in despair, its knights fallen from grace, and its magic tainted by treachery. Amidst the ruins, the disgraced knight Gareth wanders, a specter of his former self, burdened by shame and the specter of his past deeds. Haunted by a failure that cost him his honor, he finds himself drawn into a perilous alliance with Morgana, a rogue sorceress whose mastery of the arcane is matched only by her thirst for vengeance. Morgana, long shunned and wielding powers that dance dangerously close to the abyss, seeks to unravel the malevolent enchantment that binds Camelot in eternal night. Her motives are as murky as the shadows she commands; redemption and power intertwine in her mind, each driving her deeper into the heart of darkness. Together, Gareth and Morgana form an uneasy bond, their fates entwined by the cursed legacy of Camelot. Yet, as they delve deeper into the heart of the malevolence, they must confront their own demons—Gareth's guilt and Morgana's thirst for retribution—before they can hope to liberate the realm from its torment. As they navigate the treacherous landscape of betrayal and ambition, they encounter Sir Tristan, a once-noble knight whose allegiance lies with the fractured remnants of Camelot's glory, and Queen Elaine, a ruler whose wisdom is overshadowed by her despair. Each character bears the scars of a kingdom lost to darkness, and their paths will converge in a tempest of intrigue and sacrifice. In this dark fantasy reimagining of Arthurian legend, Camelot's Curse invites readers to explore the fragile boundaries of redemption and the seductive allure of power. As the curse deepens and the forces of darkness conspire to consume Camelot whole, Gareth and Morgana must confront the truth of their hearts—can redemption arise from the ashes of despair? Will they find the strength to reclaim their destinies, or will the shadows of their pasts drag them deeper into the void? Join them on a perilous journey through a kingdom steeped in sorrow, where hope flickers like a dying flame, and the fate of Camelot hangs in the balance. Will they succeed in breaking the curse, or will Camelot remain forever cursed, its legacy lost to the ages? The answer lies within the pages of Camelot's Curse.

Three years ago, the biting Maine wind stole Olivia Moreau, leaving a chilling emptiness in the lives of her parents, Lila and Jason. Their vibrant seaside home became a mausoleum of memories. Then, a whispered phone call shatters their fragile peace: “Mom? Dad? It’s Olivia.” Hope, a dangerous flicker, ignites. But the girl who greets them at the desolate pre-dawn diner, though bearing Olivia’s distinctive birthmark, insists her name is Sarah Walker. The Walkers, a seemingly ordinary couple, present a meticulously crafted life for Sarah, a life that excludes Lila and Jason entirely. Jason, the pragmatist, dismisses it as a cruel prank. But Lila sees the flicker of fear in “Sarah’s” eyes when shown a childhood photo no stranger should recognize. Driven by a primal instinct, Lila unearths an altered document, a chilling impossibility: Sarah’s caseworker was assigned *before* Olivia vanished. The horrifying truth begins to emerge – Olivia hasn’t been kidnapped. She’s been replaced. Lila’s investigation leads her to The Architects, a shadowy organization that crafts flawless artificial identities, their most valuable commodity being children – malleable minds molded into perfect replicas. Each “perfect” child comes at the cost of another’s stolen life. Jason, haunted by his failure to protect Olivia, initially resists Lila’s theory. But as they uncover falsified documents, manufactured memories, and silenced witnesses, the truth becomes undeniable. The Architects are aware they’re snooping, and the danger escalates. Their search leads to a secluded island, shrouded in local lore, the site of a forgotten orphanage. Here, they discover the heart of The Architects’ operation – a hidden facility where stolen children are reprogrammed, their memories erased. Olivia, now “Sarah,” is among them, not the passive victim Lila imagined, but a chillingly proficient participant in her own erasure. The confrontation isn't a dramatic showdown, but a chilling infiltration. They encounter other desperate parents searching for children who have become ghosts. And as they delve deeper, they uncover a hidden chapter in their own past, a connection to Olivia’s replacement they never imagined. Lila confronts “Sarah” with a box of cherished possessions, hoping to pierce the fabricated memories. “Sarah” wavers, moments of lucidity flickering beneath the surface. But the reprogramming is deep, the fear of losing her new life overpowering. The Architects are exposed, their victims rescued. But Olivia’s memory, her true self, remains fragmented. Lila and Jason return home with “Sarah,” a stranger who shares their daughter's face. The question haunting them isn’t *where* Olivia is, but *who* she has become. Is she a victim, a collaborator, or something far more terrifying? The wind still whispers through the pines, a chilling reminder of the daughter they lost and the unsettling presence of the girl who has taken her place.

In the emerald-drenched village of Chandrapur, nestled within the Ganges Delta, magic whispers through the threads of tradition. Generations of weavers have created not just cloth, but the very fabric of reality, their looms echoing with the rhythm of life. Each family cherishes a sacred shawl, a shimmering heirloom imbued with ancient magic, a tangible link to their ancestors—the divine weavers of myth. But for Anaya Ferguson, the whispers are fading. Her family’s shawl, once vibrant as a sunset, now dims like dying embers, and with each unraveling thread, a chilling silence descends. This ancient curse isolates its victims, severing the threads of connection, stealing not just their voices, but their very ability to touch, to feel, to *be*. Desperate to save her family, Anaya embarks on a quest to mend the shawl and unravel the curse. Guided by her grandmother’s fragmented memories and the wisdom of Marissa Bryan, the enigmatic village elder, Anaya traces cryptic symbols woven into the fading silk, uncovering secrets buried within Chandrapur's history. Her path crosses with Samuel Ferguson, a reclusive weaver haunted by the curse's terrifying final stage: the complete erasure of memory, a slow unraveling of the self until only a void remains. But Anaya’s quest is fraught with peril. The Sharma family, powerful and steeped in tradition, views her with suspicion, their daughter, Priya, driven by jealousy and a thirst for power, weaving a web of deceit to thwart Anaya’s every step. As the silence deepens and the village trembles, Anaya uncovers a hidden truth far more complex than the village myths. The shawls are not merely gifts from benevolent gods, but remnants of a celestial loom that weaves the fabric of existence, and the curse is a terrible price exacted for a forgotten betrayal. With Chandrapur on the brink of oblivion, Anaya must choose: cling to the unraveling threads of tradition or embrace her own power to reweave their fate. Can she decipher the riddles woven into the village's past and create a new tapestry, one that honors tradition while embracing change, before the silence consumes them all?
