Blackthorn Estate

Blackthorn Estate was never meant to have another owner.

Hidden deep within the mountains, the isolated manor has a history stained with disappearances, rumors, and death. Every person who's lived there eventually vanished without a trace.

But when the breathtaking estate is listed for an impossibly low price, I convince myself the stories are nothing more than small-town paranoia.

Until I move in.

The house feels wrong from the moment I arrive. Footsteps echo through empty halls at night. Locked doors open on their own. And every morning, I wake with the terrifying feeling that someone has been watching me while I sleep.

Then I meet him.

A beautiful monster hidden within the walls of Blackthorn Estate.

Ancient. Starving. Dangerous.

He warns me to leave before the house consumes me like it did everyone else.

But the more time I spend inside the estate, the more obsessed he becomes with me.

Because after centuries of hiding in the dark...

I'm the first thing he's wanted to keep.
