The Dollhouse Widow: Book One - The Land of Lébétan
A gothic romance and supernatural thriller about captivity, identity, and the quiet rebellion hiding beneath good behavior.
Set in an alternate version of the American South, the story unfolds in a fading estate where power is inherited, obedience is expected, and the house itself seems to watch. The supernatural doesn't lurk in shadows here-it thrives in the open, wrapped in tradition and dressed in control.
This isn't a love story with easy answers. It's slow-burning, dangerous, and tangled in power. Some characters want out. Others want more. Some learn how to survive by becoming what the house demands-and a few try to change the story completely.
Told through shifting perspectives, Book One introduces the roles, rituals, and betrayals that shape everything still to come.
If this book were a drink, it would be jasmine green tea with oat milk, a hint of lavender, a touch of honey-and a splash of Fireball. Soft, floral, deceptively sweet... and then it burns.
