In 1806, Astrid Poole, adorned in her wedding attire, is brimming with joy. Tragically, her life is cut short before her marriage is fulfilled, her ring violently removed from her. Her final utterance is a vow to Collin, promising eternal presence.

Sonya MacTavish is shocked to discover her recently deceased father had an unknown twin—Collin Poole. In a surprising turn, she inherits nearly all of Collin's estate, including a grand Victorian mansion on the Maine coastline. A stipulation in the will demands she reside there for a minimum of three years.

Sonya soon experiences unexplained phenomena—misplaced items, spontaneous music, a painting by her father in her late uncle's office, and a portrait of a woman named Astrid, dubbed “the first lost bride” by the lawyer. It dawns on Sonya that her inheritance is more than just property. She's entangled in an age-old curse and a mystery that needs solving to break free from it...
