Blackthorn Manor has stood for centuries, a relic of a forgotten past. When Samuel, a weary gardener running from his own ghosts, takes a job tending its overgrown grounds, he expects solitude. But the estate is not empty.
Isadora Blackthorn, a spirit trapped within the manor for over a century, lingers in the shadows-watching, waiting. She has no memory of how she died, only the suffocating presence that binds her to the house. As she and Samuel grow closer, their connection awakens long-buried secrets, unraveling the tragic love story that doomed her to this fate.
When Samuel stumbles upon the key to her prison, he unknowingly awakens a dark force that has guarded the manor's secrets for generations. The house is alive, and it remembers. To free Isadora, they must confront the spirit of Lady Blackthorn-the woman who once condemned her own daughter to an eternity in the shadows.
As fire consumes Blackthorn Manor, Isadora must choose between vengeance and freedom, while Samuel must decide if he is willing to walk into the unknown with her.
A tale of love, loss, and redemption, The Ghost and the Gardener is a hauntingly beautiful story about breaking free from the past and finding a future-together.
