Readers will find themselves irresistibly drawn into this web of intrigue, where history’s secret corridors conceal shocking conspiracies that threatened to reshape the world.
As the story unfolds, the spotlight shifts to a beloved figure in American folklore, Washington Irving’s Headless Horseman, from the Legend of Sleepy Hollow.

It’s a revelation that will leave readers breathless, forever altering their perception of this iconic figure.
But the intrigue doesn’t stop there.

Her quest for vengeance leads her to the shores of America in pursuit of her husband’s murderer, and the narrative takes a haunting turn. During her arrival on May 19, 1780, New England witnesses an inexplicable phenomenon—the darkening of the skies for nearly 24 hours, a nearly forgotten event in our recorded history.
