The painting shouldn’t exist.
And it knows her name.
Dr. Rowan Southeil authenticates art.
Provenance. Pigment. Brushstroke. Age.
Facts.
Until a homicide detective calls her to consult on a painting found at a murder scene.
The victim is dead.
The evidence is incomplete.
And the painting at the center of it refuses to behave like any painting Rowan has ever studied.
When she touches the house where the artist died, a vision hits her—
violent, fragmented, impossible to ignore.
A struggle.
A man.
The painting, at the center of everything.
Rowan has always been able to read objects.
She calls it psychometry.
She keeps it clinical.
She never talks about it.
But this painting is different.
It changes when no one is looking.
It refuses to be copied.
It reacts to her presence.
And when Rowan looks into the orb painted in the sitter’s hand—
it looks back.
Detective Gabriel Lancaster is building a case.
Rowan is unraveling something else entirely.
A bloodline that runs five centuries deep.
A Tudor sorceress who painted herself into the canvas to keep her power safe.
And a hunter who walked past her when she was alive—and is still walking.
Because the painting isn’t just art.
It’s a doorway.
And on the other side of it lies the woman Rowan was always going to become—
five hundred years before she was born.
For fans of Deborah Harkness, Diana Gabaldon, and Susanna Kearsley.
WHISPERS THROUGH THE CANVAS is Book 1 of the Threads of Destiny series.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. The past hungers for her soul-and its secrets could shatter the future.The painting whispered her name before Dr. Rowan Southeil ever laid eyes on it.What begins as a routine authentication of a 16th-century portrait for a murder investigation becomes something far more sinister when Rowan discovers the canvas is enchanted-and hungry. Each time she studies the mysterious woman trapped within its ornate frame, vivid visions pull her deeper into a web of ancient magic and modern murder.Detective Gabriel Lancaster needs Rowan's expertise to solve the brutal killing of artist Cassie Bradshaw. But as bodies pile up and a centuries-old immortal emerges from the shadows, Rowan realizes the painting isn't just evidence-it's a portal. One that's been waiting four hundred years for someone with her bloodline to unlock its darkest secrets.Thrust through time into Tudor England, Rowan must navigate deadly court intrigue while her own essence begins merging with the enchanted portrait. With each journey to the past, she loses more of herself to the painting's supernatural pull. The immortal Lev Rubilov will stop at nothing to possess both Rowan and the canvas, knowing together they hold the power to rewrite history itself.But Rowan's grandmother lies trapped under an ancient spell, Gabriel's life hangs in the balance, and the boundary between past and present is crumbling. As her red hair transforms to match the painted sorceress and her modern world fades away, Rowan faces an impossible choice: Surrender her soul to save those she loves-or watch both timelines burn.Some secrets are worth dying for. Others are worth killing for.Perfect for readers who love Deborah Harkness's A Discovery of Witches, Paula Brackston's The Witch's Daughter, Susanna Kearsley's The Rose Garden, Diana Gabaldon's Outlander, Katherine Howe's The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane, Louisa Morgan's The Secret History of Witches, and Elizabeth Kostova's The Historian-a spellbinding blend of historical fantasy, dark magic, time-bending secrets, and deadly choices that will shape the past and the future.
