The Forgotten Sonata (Epub for Kindle)

Cambridge, 2022. Canadian graduate student Oliver Beale has come to England to solve a family mystery: what happened to his ancestor, Lieutenant William Beale, who vanished without a trace after the War of 1812? As Oliver delves into centuries-old military records, he finds an unexpected ally in Sara Nakashima, a brilliant McGill researcher haunted by her own family's history of loss and displacement.

When Sara discovers a fragile manuscript—a sonata composed during the war—the past suddenly feels startlingly close. The music becomes a bridge between then and now, revealing secrets that have remained buried for two hundred years.

Upper Canada, 1813. Lieutenant William Beale of the 41st Regiment never imagined that war would lead him to love. But in the midst of bloodshed and betrayal along the Niagara frontier, he finds something worth surviving for—if he can live long enough to claim it.

As Oliver and Sara trace William's footsteps through archival fragments and faded letters, they uncover a story of passion, sacrifice, and impossible choices. But the closer they get to the truth about William's fate, the more they must confront what they're willing to risk for each other.

Perfect for readers who loved The Rose Code, The Forgotten Garden, and The Winter Sea, The Forgotten Sonata weaves together meticulous historical research with achingly human stories of love across time.
