The Sky Beneath Her

When she inherits a crumbling castle hidden deep in a Scottish glen, Elena MacRae expects old debts, difficult repairs, and perhaps a few unwanted memories.She does not expect a locked room.She certainly does not expect the faded portrait of a woman who looks remarkably like her.For generations, Castle Glenmara has belonged to the MacRae family, passing quietly from one heir to the next. But Elena soon discovers that the family fortune was never the only thing being handed down. Beneath the polished stories of respectable ancestors lies a darker inheritance—one involving a vanished woman, a disputed birth, and a secret that could change everything Elena believes about her family.With the help of a local historian who knows far more about the castle than he admits, Elena begins following a trail ofold correspondence, hidden compartments, and forgotten village stories.Every discovery raises another question.Why was one branch of the family erased from the records? Who sealed the castle's western tower? And why did Elena's grandmother spend her final years warning her never to return to the glen?As the past begins to collide with the present, Elena must decide whether some family secrets are better left buried—or whether the truth is the only inheritance worth keeping.Some families leave inheritance. Others leave secrets.
