The trenches nearly destroyed him, but the Painting will change him Forever.
Shattered by his experiences on the Western Front in World War One, Edward is looking forward to the peacefulness of England. Partially deaf, everything is quieter than he's accustomed to. Except for the nightmares that continue to haunt.
In Renaissance Venice, a young artist paints a portrait full of his love, devotion, and passion. When the painting was created, more than paint went into it. Now the painting has a magical ability: reading people's deepest thoughts¿ even when they want them to be kept a secret.
For centuries, the painting travels the world, touching all it meets. When Edward finds it, his world is rocked. Strange circumstances pulse through the countryside. Edward must face his demons from the war, or the young servant girl accused of murder might die. Even more alarming, someone is inside the painting: trapped. If Edward can't solve the mysteries in time, they all might face disaster.
If you love magical realism, historical fiction, and World War One mysteries, you won't want to miss this. Read What Edward Heard today.
