Ny Times Review Of Michael Gorra Portrait Of A

"Portraits of the Undying" Isabella, a talented fine art restorer, is drawn to a remote castle shrouded in secrets, where her work on ancient paintings unearths forgotten memories from a past life she doesn’t understand. The paintings, particularly one of a regal queen who seems to watch her, ignite a mysterious connection that pulls her deeper into the castle’s dark history. As Isabella uncovers the truths hidden in the walls of the castle, she encounters Viktor—a brooding, enigmatic man whose gaze hides more than he reveals. But when strange visions begin to blur the line between past and present, Isabella’s reality starts to unravel, revealing the truth about her royal lineage, a tragic love, and a bond that transcends time. Haunted by whispers and visions, Isabella must navigate her growing feelings for Viktor, the appearance of a rival named Damien, and the mysterious allure of a castle that might just be alive. But the deeper she delves, the more she questions: Who is she really, and why is the castle calling her back to its forgotten depths?

After assuming the title of Alpha, Valerie was set up and brutally rejected, not only by Tristan but also her whole pack, and her kid sister, Scarlet, with whom Tristan had secret affairs. “I reject Luna Valerie as my mate.

A few months down the line, there was a war among the Alphas as they began to lay claim to the two-times-rejected Luna. With her wolf dead, will the moon goddess be gracious to give her another wolf? And which Alpha would be able to melt her now cold heart?

With every step, Zach inches closer to his ultimate goal: a world where Conduits aren't seen as mere lab rats but as the elites of humanity. His path is of an individual despite his villainous goals, he makes alliances with those who would stand against him in the future, slowly eating away at their chances of defeating him by the time they realise who and what he is. Watch as he makes discovery after discovery, both finds, hunts and forges powerful artifacts, upgrades and evolves his talents and gear aswell as witnessing his cunning nature as he infiltrates the organisations that will block his path in the future and tear them down from the inside.

P.s, I haven't decided on where to take the romance aspect of Zach so until further notice you can expect there to be at most mild flirting with random characters. Nothing too crazy. Thanks for reading ^_^
