There, under the floorboards of her bedroom, Violet finds a journal written by a Catholic woman more than three hundred years ago, confessing to a forbidden love. In 1606, on this very farm, Maria Wolveden sheltered Jago Carlyon, a fugitive priest sought for treason. In a time when all Catholics were suspect, Maria's protective love for Jago grew stronger, as did the mortal dangers of harboring a wanted man.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eViolet knows all about secret passion, having lost her own forbidden love, Taslim, in the London Blitz. Haunted by visions of Taslim and of Maria, Violet soon finds herself at a crossroads that eerily parallels that of Maria's when she gives refuge to Francesco Marelli, an Italian POW whose life is threatened for collaborating with the enemy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith her family's lives at stake, Violet not only comes to understand Maria's desperation more deeply but feels uncannily connected to her spirit--as if guided on a journey that Maria travelled centuries ago. It's also giving Violet the hope she needs to see her own secrets through to their courageous end--and, perhaps, to find new love.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e(c) 2026 by Lindsay Jayne Ashford, all rights reserved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 251\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.81 x 8.41 x 5.51 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 01, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48757291286777,"sku":"9781662536083","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/EBRwfh8CT79781662536083.webp?v=1785946259","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/no-light-but-the-stars-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
