Tainted Ground - Stacey Reynolds

The land remembers what the living try to forget…

Cora Murphy has always been different. Born into the O'Brien clan of County Clare, she carries a gift that runs through the bloodline—visions that reach across centuries. She's learned to guard this burden carefully. But when a retreat for children like her brings Cora face to face with a brooding Welsh boy named Garryth, something ancient begins to stir. A woman appears in her dreams—a woman who could be her mirror image, living in a seventeenth-century world of cruelty, secret love, and creeping darkness.

Her name is Elspeth. And she has been waiting to be found. As Cora is pulled deeper into Elspeth's story—and closer to the haunted ruins of Leamaneh Castle—she uncovers a centuries-old tragedy that never truly died. It seeped into the stone and into the very ground beneath her feet. And if Cora can't unravel the truth of what happened there, she may never leave its shadow.

A gripping dual-timeline tale of love, legacy, and the darkness that binds them. Perfect for fans of Jean Grainger and Tricia O'Malley.
