The Weight of Time Catherine Blackwood is the last of her line, haunted by a family curse that has claimed one member of each generation for over a century. At twenty-six, she can feel time pressing against her like a physical weight, knowing she has less than two years before the curse claims her too. When her grandmother's dying words reveal a name from the past-Victor-Catherine discovers the dark origin of her family's tragedy. Armed with forbidden knowledge and driven by desperate love, she attempts the impossible: traveling back to 1847 to stop the curse before it begins. In Victorian London, Catherine finds the family she never knew she could have-ancestors who welcome her with open arms and a love that transcends time itself. For a brief, shining moment, she believes she has broken the curse and saved them all. But the universe has a way of correcting its mistakes. As Catherine watches her hard-won victory unravel, she learns that some fates cannot be changed, some prices are too high to pay, and that love-no matter how powerful-cannot always conquer death. The weight of time crushes all hope beneath its relentless march, and Catherine must face the terrible truth that she may have only delayed the inevitable. A haunting tale of family, sacrifice, and the price of trying to change destiny, The Weight of Time explores what happens when our deepest love meets our darkest fate. "Some curses are too powerful to break, some battles too ancient to win."
