Nightshade

When her mother dies at the stake, something of her doesn't stay buried.Four-year-old Primrose doesn't see the flames—only feels the change that follows. A voice begins to whisper in her thoughts. A presence that comforts, commands, and calls itself Mother.As the years pass, the village calls her cursed, the Church calls her possessed, and the voice inside her grows harder to silence. Blinded and scarred by tragedy, Primrose longs for peace—and for the God her mother turned away from. But faith is hard to find when darkness lives within.In a world ruled by superstition and fear, Primrose must learn that true light is not found in voices or visions, but in the quiet God who never stopped reaching for her soul. Nightshade is a haunting tale of inherited darkness, the search for faith, and the mercy that blooms in the ashes.
