The breathtaking conclusion to the Loving Husband Trilogy. A sweeping Gothic odyssey of memory, injustice, and the relentless pursuit of home.
What would you sacrifice to return to the life you were forced to leave behind?
Professor James Wentworth has always lived on the edges of history, but now the world has finally caught up to his impossible truth. Separated from his wife, Sarah, and held in a cold, modern confinement, James finds his present-day internment echoing the darkest shadows of his past: the years he spent behind the barbed wire of the Manzanar Relocation Camp during World War II. As the ghosts of the 1940s merge with the madness of the present, James realizes that the patterns of human fear and exclusion are as eternal as his own life.
Supported by a circle of allies who represent the few remaining ties to his humanity, James embarks on a desperate odyssey to reclaim his freedom. But the path back to Sarah is guarded by forces that demand a heavy toll. To break the cycle of history and reunite with the woman who is his only anchor, James must call upon Olivia?a woman who wields the kind of ancient, terrifying power that could either grant his most fervent wish or shatter his world forever.
In the final hour, James Wentworth must decide if the price of returning to the light is more than his weary soul can pay.
