After inheriting her late father's crumbling estate in the brooding town of Gateville, American-born Evangeline Howard expects creaky floors, bad weather, and a few ghosts of grief. What she doesn't expect is the watching manor on the hill, the diary filled with vanished names, or the red-eyed stranger who keeps saving her when he shouldn't.
Kaetlith Von Aimstel is powerful, ancient, and very much not interested in Evangeline-or so he insists. But the more she uncovers about her family's forgotten past, the harder it becomes to untangle herself from his sharp warnings, colder hands... and the heat just beneath.
There's a deal buried in blood and silence, and Evangeline may already be bound by it.
She just doesn't know what it's going to cost.
A darkly twisted gothic satire full of haunted estates, family curses, and brooding immortals with no chill.
The process of losing someone does not happen all at once. It comes in bits and pieces, creeping up on you slowly but surely. It hurts me a lot every time you need me and I can't do anything about it. I wish I can give you a hug to make you feel better.
"There is an ocean of silence between us and I am drowning in it.. But I will always, always love you"
