Cursed Beneath a Thorned Moon
On the night of a blood moon, Octavia Blackwood steps out of a rain-lashed carriage and into Ravenshollow Manor, the estate her grandmother died protecting and the heir she swore she would never become. Lord Aldric Thornewood greets her with cold courtesy and haunted eyes, offering answers to questions she's carried since the night her coven burned: what killed her mother, and why does the greenhouse wraith whisper her name? Within Ravenshollow's crumbling walls, ghosts press close, Seraphina, the first wife who refuses to rest; a marsh wraith stalking the fenlands; and the shadow entity that hungers for Octavia's awakening bloodline. The Thornewood Coven still serves an old darkness, and Elder Maren believes Octavia is the key to either breaking the curse or completing it. Drawn to Aldric despite every warning, Octavia finds an unexpected ally in the reformed coven, and a future neither expected. To save the man she's beginning to love, the son she's only beginning to hope for, and the ghosts who deserve peace, she must claim her power before the next blood moon rises. The curse demands a sacrifice. Octavia intends to choose her own.
