A long-buried crime. A marriage built on lies. Could the truth be a second chance? England, 1902. More than a decade has passed since a wrongful accusation sent a young man to the gallows, an injustice that shattered the lives of those left behind-including Theodora Hallewell and Toby Meriwether, whose chance at love died that same day. Trapped in a violent marriage to an eminent doctor, Theo has endured the years in silence, while secretly pursuing a dangerous obsession with the past. Toby, burdened by guilt and grief, has built a respectable life as a journalist and prison reformer, though his own marriage has crumbled under the weight of things he cannot forget. When their paths cross again, both are drawn back to the tragedy that shaped their youth. As Theo uncovers long-buried secrets about that fateful night, she discovers a truth more dangerous than she ever imagined. A truth that could destroy her-or finally set her free. Spanning two decades from the dawn of the Edwardian era to the Great War, The Echo of Loss is a sweeping story exploring love, forgiveness and the courage to seek justice at any cost. c 2026 by Katherine Webb, all rights reserved.
