Constantinople 1771, Lady Pheodora Derrien can’t shake her unease. She has received no replies to her desperate messages and is afraid that her husband has truly abandoned her in this mystical city of spectral minarets and hidden secrets. When faced with a snarling evil spirit who issues a gruesome curse unless she complies, Pheodora is utterly alone and terrified. Seeking a fortune teller after being haunted by the spirit, Pheodora suspects the seer has a sinister alliance with the evil entity. Since she has received no reply from her husband, Pheodora resolutely traverses the unsettling sights of veiled women and ancient edifices to his office and is horrified to find the spirit stalking her. With her husband now entangled in the vengeful spirit’s web, will Pheodora obey its demands or face the dreaded curse? The Scientist’s Bride and the Spirit Curse is the engrossing prequel to The Goddess, the Scientist, and the Elixir, book one in the Shadows Over Byzantium series, a dark historical fantasy. If opulent, exotic settings, magic, and dark interactions between humans and mystical beings captivate you, then you’ll love Claudia Linwood’s enthralling tale.
