Cursed Across Time (Dead Souls, #7)

Hurled violently into the past, Kate Langley awakens on a version of Thaxos she barely recognizes. The island is now ruled by Edgar and Madeleine Le Compte, who preside over their secluded mansion and a circle of elegant, watchful companions. Edgar is preparing for his wedding. . . to Estella, a sharp-tongued, possessive woman who guards her claim with unsettling fervor.

But Kate isn't the only outsider to arrive on Thaxos. Something monstrous has slipped through time with her, something that prowls the forests and cliffs, striking down anyone who strays too far from the town or the mansion's gates. Soon, Kate becomes its next target.

Desperate and alone, she turns to Edgar for help. Yet how can he save her when, in this fractured past, she is a complete stranger. . . and the creature hunting her seems tied to secrets neither of them understand?

This is the seventh book in the long-running Dead Souls saga. Each book ends with a cliffhanger, and readers are advised to start at the beginning. This is the 2022 edition of the original 2014 book.
