Publisher's Synopsis
Beneath the dying skies and amidst the forgotten woods, there stands a house no map dares to name - Blackthorn Manor. Once a symbol of grandeur and romance, it now lies rotting in the arms of time, whispering secrets to the winds that dare to pass. Locals speak of it only in hushed voices, warning travelers of the chilling curse that clings to its decaying stones - a curse born from a love so fierce, it defied even death.
When Jackson Reid, a man running from his own haunted past, receives a cryptic invitation to the abandoned estate, he finds himself drawn to the manor's crumbling gates. But Blackthorn does not simply call - it chooses. And it has chosen him.
Inside, beyond the dust and ruin, an unseen force stirs - watching, waiting. Shadows dance against the cracked walls, memories bleed through the floors, and a ghostly figure lingers in the halls - a woman of sorrowful beauty whose tragic story has been buried in darkness for far too long.
As Lucien unravels the twisted threads of forbidden love, betrayal, and a fate sealed in blood, he must confront a chilling truth:
Some souls are never meant to rest.
And some loves are never meant to die.
Welcome to Blackthorn Manor, where the past is never truly past... and every heartbeat could be your last.
