Elara Eustace is a woman of logic and numbers, but even she cannot calculate her way out of the shadows at Blackwood. Inheriting a crumbling family estate in Gainesboro, Tennessee, Elara discovers a legacy steeped in a two-hundred-year-old curse—one that feeds on the souls of her bloodline.
Deep within the manor's haunted halls, she encounters Thaddeus Thorne, a ghost bound to the land and yearning for a freedom that has long been denied. As the lines between the living and the dead blur, Elara and Thaddeus must confront an unseen architect of misery to break a cycle of generational trauma.
In this atmospheric gothic romance, some secrets refuse to stay buried, and the cost of breaking a curse might be more than Elara is willing to pay.
