The fog followed them. It haunted them like the crew haunted these waters. It was suffocatingly thick, a blanket of chimney smoke coloured mist forever wrapped around them, and all life outside of that opaque wall had been long forgotten. Beauty which had once threatened to start wars had turned so ugly it plagued the mind of any man to see it for eternity. Spirits which had once been so bright they burned like the sun in midsummer, were now damp and rotten, like the flesh of an old corpse. People spread stories about them, especially ones surrounding the woman of the Black Pearl; The Devil's Temptress. Jack Sparrow x OC

November, 1939. Fleeing a homeland torn apart by fascism and haunted by devastating loss, young Italian surgeon Vittoria Lucia Valdarno arrives in England with nothing but her father's old leather suitcase and the knowledge he left behind. Alone in a world that has never made room for women like her, she expects only more hardship. But instead, she meets Claire Randall. Admits blood, chaos, and the horrors of war, a sisterhood blooms between the two women. After years of surviving the hardships of war together, Claire becomes the closest thing Vittoria has ever known to family. So when the war finally ends, a part of Vittoria longs to remain in England. But she knows she must return home, and Claire must return to her husband. Though separated by countries, they promise to write and never forget each other, not that either of them could. And for a time, they keep that promise, until tone day the letters stop. Vittoria tries to brush it off, but weeks pass and there is still no answer. And when she finally receives a letter it's from no other than Claire's husband, who tells her Claire has gone missing. Without hesitation Vittoria travels to Scotland, only to get thrown by fate into the mist-covered Highlands of eighteenth-century Scotland. Echoes of a Promise is a story of sisterhood, loss, found family, and the extraordinary lengths we go to for the people who become our family and home, because some bonds are never broken. And some promises echo through time.

She has a crown, a palace, and a life most would envy... but no freedom. He has laughter, freedom, and the comfort he always wanted... but never anyone who truly sees him behind his mask. Together, they begin to fill the voids they've always carried, but their growing bond leads to consequences, impossible choices, and pain neither of them expected. • Kind of a slow burn. • Kind of enemies to lovers. • SFW with a hint of spice. • Dark romance without heavy or explicit themes. (Chapters containing sensitive topics will include a warning at the beginning.)
