What the Valley Remembers

What the Valley Remembers

Book One of The Ravenswood Mysteries

A Midlife Paranormal Romance with Mystery, Magic, and Second Chances

At forty-four, Abigail Lee wasn’t looking for magic. She only wanted to disappear.

After five years on the run, Abigail seeks refuge in the quiet woods of Ravenswood Valley, Ohio. With a new name and an inherited lake house, she’s ready to leave behind her haunted past and start over—alone.

But the valley remembers what she’s tried to forget.

Whispers in the trees. A grimoire that won’t burn. Strangers who watch from the shadows. And Joel Whitley, the widowed detective next door whose quiet strength begins to thaw her guarded heart.

When Abigail uncovers a long-buried connection to the town’s founding family and a coven that never truly vanished, her reality begins to unravel. Visions, ancestral magic, and a woman named Paulina—rumored to have disappeared decades ago—draw her deeper into a mystery that began long before she was born.

As a rogue coven threatens to use her powers for something dark, Abigail must decide: hide from her past, or embrace the magic that’s been waiting for her all along.

For readers who love midlife heroines, paranormal intrigue, slow-burn romance, and stories of found family, What the Valley Remembers is the beginning of a spellbinding new series.

Perfect for fans of midlife magic, small-town secrets, and emotionally rich storytelling.
