The Last Light Of Savannah: A Novel of Secrets and Southern Legacy

By James Harvest

A Novel You Will Devour and Never Forget
In a city built on beauty and lies, one woman will unravel the secret that could destroy everything.
Eliza Brennan thought she had escaped the gilded cage of her Southern roots.
A pragmatic archivist in Chicago, she preserves the past for a living, preferring its quiet secrets to her own.
But when her estranged grandmother dies, Eliza is summoned back to Savannah and named sole heir to the family's crumbling estate, Magnolia Reach-on one condition. She must live in the ominous, moss-draped mansion for ninety days and archive its mountain of ancient papers.
What begins as a tedious obligation quickly becomes a chilling obsession. Within the faded pages of diaries and ledgers, Eliza uncovers the traces of a forbidden romance between her great-great-aunt, a rebellious heiress, and Isaiah Jenkins, the brilliant son of the family cook.
A love that promised freedom, but instead sparked a tragedy so devastating, the powerful McAllister and Ridgewell families worked together to erase it from history.
Now, the past is screaming to be heard:
- A mysterious disappearance on a stormy night in 1923.
- A blood-money payment to silence a grieving mother.
- A child born in secrecy and stolen away.
- A lie, woven into the very fabric of Southern legacy.
As Eliza pieces together the shocking truth, the elegant fa ade of Savannah cracks open, revealing a century of corruption and violence. Her uncle's warnings turn to threats.
The town's most powerful dynasty, built on this original sin, will stop at nothing to keep the past buried. Even if they have to bury Eliza with it.
The Last Light of Savannah is a breathtaking Southern Gothic masterpiece-a sweeping tale of forbidden love, devastating family secrets, and the explosive power of truth.
For fans of Where the Crawdads Sing, The Vanishing Half, and The Secret History, this novel will pull you into its haunting world and hold you captive until the very last, stunning page.
Unlock the door. Discover the secret. Break the silence.
