Answers to her identity lie beneath a gravestone; her own.
Something was missing. It was easy for Lexxie to bury that niggling sense, she had all the love and protection a young woman needed. But when the man she thought to be her father spilled a fever-pitched confession, her content and isolated life ended. Angry and heartbroken, she left the people she loved on a mere hint—her true father lived in Vereiteln Dorf, two villages over. Once there, she’s drawn to an unconsecrated graveyard and patches shocking revelations and broken pieces together, and the more she does, the more her presence in this superstitious village becomes a threat. The perils of a noose amid a 1688 witch hunt lay heavy on her shoulders.
Years earlier, in the same village, young Meginhardt succumbs to a vicious attack. Ethereal beings take him on a time-traveling journey to resolve the lad’s deeply rooted struggles. When Meginhardt learns that some woman named Lexxie is the chosen one to carry forward his father’s line of descendants, fits of jealousy ensue—a dream shattered. It should have been him. He becomes frantic to ensure the demise of this undeserving woman. In apparitional form he delivers her a message, face to face.
Her future lyeth in his words.

More from Johanna
A little heavenly imagination can loosen the chains of life.
My ‘playground’ for creating Here Lyeth was far-reaching, though insulated with firm boundaries. From fictional Germanic villages in days of old in one corner, a low fantasy kingdom where the perished journey to the foot of a guarded gate, in the other.
Admittedly, I took many privileges with beloved values and symbolisms dear to my faith, daring to employ startling imagination for the purpose of enticing generosity of thought for the great …and small …mysteries in life. My favourite, where the waters of a supranatural river flows through time carrying with it various stones, each belonging to a life on Earth, often getting caught in stormy swirls or stuck in a bank of mud, representations of its owner’s personal trials and sufferings.
The story itself, though smattered with biblical senses, is not meant to be a teaching of ways, (I’m not qualified for such!) rather, to provide inklings of encouragement, to set within minds a sublime curiosity—what life might we find after this one?
My hope is you will enjoy the sparkles of divine happenstances, the pulls of faith and the eager wonder of ever-after capers to be pleasing.
Although the third instalment into A Lifeline Fantasy Series as far as publication dates go, Here Lyeth takes the position of first when it comes to the natural flow of time compared to its stand-alone novel-mates, The Gatekeeper’s Descendants and Jophiel’s Secret.
I promise you, Here Lyeth won’t leave you hanging, though it may unearth you a little :)

My Review
I have had the pleasure of reading the previous books from Johanna Frank's A Lifeline Fantasy collection b Johanna Frank. I was happy to have the opportunity to read the newest release, Here Lyeth. Lexxie's story is most definitely my favorite of the collection. Even though the book is part of a series, it can easily be read as a stand alone. It was full of intrigue and adventure. I loved it.
I am going to give Here Lyeth five stars. I recommend it for readers who enjoy reading clean fantasy fiction. I would love to read more books from the talented Johanna Frank in the near future to see where else her imagination will take her fans to next.
I received a copy of Johanna Frank's Here Lyeth from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
