About the Book
A Whisper Falls Novella
North Carolina, 1771
Forced to leave her childhood home, Abigail Clarke flees to the royal capital of North Carolina. She soon finds that there are few jobs for a girl who’s only been trained to be a gentleman’s wife or a healer. Starting over as Abby, she lies her way into a position as a maid in the royal governor’s household.
But her healing skills–and her magical talent for knowing–have drawn the attention of the governor’s stepson. Nathaniel Eton is charming, mysterious–and completely forbidden to a servant. Yet Abby can’t resist her fascination with him…until his secrets threaten to put the fragile, new life she’s created into jeopardy.
Whispers on the River is a prequel companion novella in the Whisper Falls series. Abigail and Nathaniel Eton are both in early adulthood. This story is set entirely in 1771.
