By Adrienne Young

In this bewitching atmospheric novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Unmaking of June Farrow, a disgraced art historian discovers a cursed painting and enlists a local historian, who has secrets of his own, to help her break the curse before it strikes again

Holden Fellows's reputation as a disgraced art historian has sent her to Dunrath Castle in Scotland. The foggy highlands and dusty archives will be the perfect place to lick her wounds and avoid further scandal, but as she begins cataloguing the estate's art, she discovers a mysterious painting linked to chilling disappearances and supernatural occurrences.

Her search for answers leads her to the enigmatic Finnan Rowe, a local folklorist who reveals the painting's connection to the legend of the Bride of Hollow Glen. Holden's feelings for him grow complicated when she learns that he's been hiding secrets from her.

When the curse takes its next victim, the danger grows, and Holden will risk everything to unlock the secret behind the painting and end the curse once and for all.
