The Vanishing at Verdant Hall: A Nora Halewell Time Travel Mystery

By Mandy Ludick

An archivist. A vanished heiress. A house that remembers.

Nora Halewell has always believed in evidence-not legends. But when she unexpectedly inherits Greystone Manor and discovers a glowing, untitled book hidden in a secret archive, she's pulled back in time to 1892 Oxfordshire... and into a mystery that could rewrite history.

Verdant Hall, a crumbling English estate steeped in secrets, is abuzz with excitement for heiress Lillian Davenant's engagement. But beneath the polished surface lies betrayal, buried truths, and a silent war over an inheritance no one fully understands. When Lillian disappears on the eve of her betrothal, scandal threatens the entire household.

As Nora unravels coded messages, forbidden alliances, and a haunting network known as the Circle of Ashes, she realizes this is no ordinary case of cold feet. With the help of an automaton clock, a cat that shouldn't exist, and her own relentless curiosity, Nora must uncover the truth-before history is rewritten by those who would erase it.

Perfect for fans of Sarah Waters, Kate Morton, and The House at Riverton, The Vanishing at Verdant Hall blends historical suspense, gothic atmosphere, and a dash of time-travel mystery in an unforgettable debut.
