Summary
After a fire leaves her with nothing but ashes and a forgotten betrothal, Rey is sent from India to the cold, echoing halls of Wrenwick Manor. The engagement is nearly a year overdue, and her intended—Lord Solo—is a man carved by war, more specter than savior. The marriage should have been voided, but he never withdrew the offer.
Yorkshire is bleak. The manor, bleaker still. And yet beneath its withering silence, something begins to stir. A memory. A hunger. A seed of something half-dead pushing through frostbitten soil.
He is running from a past soaked in blood. She is clinging to a version of this place that may never have existed.
Somewhere between locked doors and shadowed halls, they begin to bloom—darkly, desperately, beautifully.
A gothic romance about what survives the burn. About the ache to be known, and the terror of being seen. About roots that tangle… and rot.
