***
Isolde Blackwood has everything a Victorian lady could want -- except for freedom. She is expected to marry her childhood friend Thomas Hale, the dependable soldier who has always loved her. But when Benedict Crawford, a charismatic stranger, arrives on the island, Isolde's heart is torn between the safe path she's always known and the dangerous spark she cannot resist.
Jealousy, desire, and betrayal twist their lives into a storm of secrets-and one reckless choice will set the estate on a path to ruin. What begins as a forbidden romance soon spirals into obsession, revenge, and a tragedy that will haunt the island for centuries. They thought they were choosing forever. Instead, they created a curse that would haunt the Blackwood Estate for over 150 years.
Some love stories never die.
This is where the curse began.

Six names. One prophecy. A lake that never forgets. Welcome to Saint Hallowmere. The lake took her once. It's hungry again. In the chapel, the nuns speak in tongues. In the hallways, the rich kids wear masks. But Isolde isn't here to pray. She's here to uncover the truth - even if it means becoming a monster herself. The Hallowmere Trinity Six has begun. Pretty things die here. They said she came to be saved. They didn't ask what she wanted saving from. At St. Hallowmere Academy, the girls are porcelain-perfect. The boys are blood-slicked blades. The chapel smells like sin, and the lake still remembers the girl it drowned. Beneath velvet uniforms and cathedral ceilings, six students are marked. A curse older than the school is starting to breathe again - in locker doors that slam shut on their own, in prayers scratched into desks, in lipstick-stained teeth and broken rules. One will betray. One will be sacrificed. One will never be found. But before that... There will be secrets exchanged in dark corners. Mouths on mouths in confession booths. Girls kissing in graveyards. Cigarettes still burning after the body disappears. And when the storm comes... the pretty ones will die first. A Saint's Blood novel. Welcome to the Hallowmere Trinity Six.
