Some stories are meant to be told twice.
When Wren Rivers' carefully constructed life crumbles beneath her, she does the only thing that makes sense-she runs. She trades the wreckage of her past for an old Victorian house in a town where no one knows her name, where she can disappear.
The house hums with an unsettling presence, its shadows stretching in ways they shouldn't. And then there's the painting-an unclaimed portrait of a man rendered in darkness, his sorrow stitched into every brushstroke. Wren feels drawn to it, an inexplicable pull, as though it has been waiting for her.
She should have left it alone.
Because when the man in the portrait steps free from its gilded prison, he brings something far more dangerous than ghosts. And now, Wren must decide-will she run again or stand her ground and dance with the devil at her door?
Aly Anders crafts a high-stakes love story that teeters between life and death, obsession and sacrifice. The Art of a Curse is a haunting, lyrical tale of a love that defies time, a curse that demands its due, and a choice that could unravel everything.
