The Stranger in the Vineyard
By Jim LaFleur
When Isabelle Moreau returns to her ancestral home, nestled deep in the misty heart of the French countryside, she seeks solace and a fresh start. But the vineyard, long dormant under layers of tradition and secrets, has other plans. As Isabelle reclaims her birthright, she uncovers a legacy of mystical power hidden within the vineyard's tangled roots, a power that has both protected and cursed her family for generations. The vines whisper, the earth trembles, and the boundaries between worlds begin to blur.
Aided by mile, a mysterious man with ties to the enigmatic Brotherhood, and haunted by visions of a future she can barely comprehend, Isabelle must navigate ancient rituals, betrayals from within, and a growing romance that may prove to be her greatest strength-or her undoing. As the shadows of the past rise to threaten everything she holds dear, Isabelle must confront the truth about her family's dark legacy and decide once and for all if she will control the vineyard-or let it consume her.
The Stranger in the Vineyard is an enthralling blend of magic, mystery, and romance, where every twist of the vine reveals deeper layers of danger and desire. With skillful prose and lush world-building, Jim LaFleur delivers a spellbinding tale of power, destiny, and the cost of uncovering ancient secrets. Fans of atmospheric tales like The Night Circus and The Discovery of Witches will be captivated by LaFleur's deft touch, compelling characters, and a story that lingers long after the final page.
