Earthbound: Whispers from the BloodlineAuthor's Cut—Extended EditionBook One of Echoes of the Bloodline FlameBy Sandy WhitlowSome stories are etched in smoke. Others are written in blood.Lila Horne, a solitary witch in the present day, lives quietly in a woodland cottage—content to keep her magic simple and her past at bay, she still feels a stirring, a need to know. When the full moon rises and a forgotten sigil begins to stir, she feels the pull to perform a ritual long sealed by silence: summoning the spirit of her ancestor, Arabella Horne, a woman executed for witchcraft during the 17th-century trials.Arabella doesn't return as a guide but as a storm.As ancestral shadows gather and the line between memory and magic blurs, Lila must face the dark truth buried beneath her home—and within herself. What she uncovers will test the limits of her power, the strength of her blood, and the cost of remembering.The past isn't gone. It's waiting.And the bloodline is awake.
