Inherited Burden (The Bloodroot Chronicles)
Clara moved to the ridge to reorder a life by habit: lists, seeds, fences. When she finds bones and a half-sealed chamber in the yard, the tidy rhythms she relies on start to fragment. Visions and a steady lullaby follow-memories not all her own-and a battered journal ties the property to Temperance Wren, a midwife whose actions shaped generations. Now Clara must decipher the language carved into beams and choose whether to close the cellar forever or keep the fragile boundary Temperance began. Each correction deepens the cost; every silence she preserves shifts how the town remembers the past. In a place where roots are both literal and moral, Clara must decide if steadiness is surrender or salvation-and whether some inheritances can be held without losing themselves.
