A Forgery of Roses: Jessica Olson

Myra has a gift many would kidnap, blackmail, and worse to control: she`s a portrait artist whose paintings alter people`s bodies. Guarding that secret is the only way to keep her younger sister safe now that their parents are gone. But one frigid night, the governor`s wife discovers the truth and threatens to expose Myra if she does not complete a special portrait that would resurrect the governor`s dead son.

Once she arrives at the legendary stone mansion, however, it becomes clear the boy`s death was no accident. A killer stalks these halls – one disturbingly obsessed with portrait magic. Desperate to get out of the manor as quickly as possible, Myra turns to the governor`s older son for help completing the painting before the secret she spent her life concealing makes her the killer`s next victim.
