BLURB:
Ever since Zylla Berry first saw the dilapidated mansion in
Boston’s Back Bay, she’d become enchanted. When she walks by one day to find
that someone is renovating the old beauty, she walks through its open door and
meets Jabe Thayer.
Determined to restore The Charlesgate to its former splendor, Jabe
is thrilled to meet Zylla, who shares his passion for the building and knows
its history. As they get to know each other, they find that their love for The
Charlesgate is not a coincidence and as supernatural forces intensify, they
begin to uncover a sinister secret that will threaten their future.
From the piratical seas of the seventeenth century, to Boston’s
Gilded Age to the present, The Charlesgate is a haunting novel of ancestry,
fate, and the unfailing power of love.
Excerpt :
Zylla trotted up the steps into the
cool darkness of the alcove and lovingly gazed at the gold-green ceramic tiled
walls. Along the ceiling, the glossy tiles sported figures of knights, cherubs,
flowers and heraldic crests. She ignored the chunks where tile was missing,
just as she overlooked the broken lantern that hung from the ceiling on a
rusted chain.
Instead, she turned to the
iron-barred glass double doors, barely glancing at the yellow and black “No
Trespassing” sign taped across them, or the thick chain and padlock wrapped
around the door handles.
As always, Zylla wrapped her fingers
around one grubby brass handle, closed her eyes, and pulled. And as always the
padlock didn’t magically fall off to allow her entry into the Charlesgate’s
realm.
