The Horizon

By Marlow Cross

The storm has passed. The fires are out. But the bill for the past has finally come due.

Hope Harbringer spent her life running away, convinced she was the only "useless" dreamer in a family of warriors. While her siblings fought storms, arson, and poison to save The Bethany House, she was chasing melodies in Nashville. Now, she has returned home to find her family whole. But, the house is in more danger than ever.

Elias Thorne, a shark in a tailored suit representing the shadowy Syndicate, has arrived with a briefcase full of ruin. He holds a ninety-year-old promissory note signed by their great-grandfather. The debt? Four million dollars. The deadline? Seven days.

If the Harbringers can't pay, the legacy they have bled for will be bulldozed to make way for a casino.

With time running out, Hope must team up with Seth Calloway, a brooding landscape architect who sees value where others see weeds, to find the "hidden capital" Lazarus buried in 1929. But the true battle won't be fought in the shadows; it will be fought in the light, on a stage built for a girl who is finally ready to sing.

In this stunning conclusion to The Cape May Chronicles, the prodigal daughter returns, the "Original Sin" is redeemed, and the Harbringers learn that the true horizon isn't a destination; it's the view from your own front porch.
