Fairlight: A Civil War-Era Novel of Family, Loyalty, and Consequence - Paperback

by Kevin Provance (Author)

Two brothers. One woman. One night that would echo for generations.

Perfect for readers of atmospheric historical fiction, slow-burning family sagas, restrained romance, and stories where one moment changes everything.

In 1857, Josephus Marlowe sets out to build something lasting in the Maryland hills - a life of order, restraint, and conviction.

But not all convictions hold.

When Hannah Mehring enters his life, that vision deepens. But as loyalties begin to fracture and quiet tensions give way to something far more dangerous, the bonds between brothers are tested in ways no one can take back.

And then, one night at Fairlight changes everything.

What happened there was never fully understood.

But the consequences never faded.

No one ever found the old house in the Taneytown woods.

At least, that was the story.

By the time rumors spread through Westminster, Fairlight had grown teeth - something in the trees, something that drove people back the way they came. Teenagers went looking. None claimed to find it.

Until the spring of 1997.

When five friends follow an overgrown trail, they uncover the remains of Fairlight - and the story buried with it.

Some places don't let go.

Some choices don't fade.

And some nights never truly end.

A sweeping, multi-generational historical novel of inheritance, loyalty, and the consequences of conviction, Fairlight traces the cost of a single night across generations.Book Club Resources Available
