Some towns keep their secrets buried. Thornhaven feeds on them.

When Eleanor Ashwood returns to her decaying hometown after years away, she expects dust, memories, and the quiet weight of the past.

What she finds instead is a town slowly rotting from within.

The great house on the hill stands abandoned—its windows dark, its gardens strangled by thorns. The locals avoid speaking of it. And the man who still walks its halls, Adrian Thorn, carries the kind of haunted silence that warns her to stay away.

But Eleanor has never been good at staying away from danger.

As she begins to unravel the history of Thornhaven, whispers of an ancient curse begin to surface—one that has bound Adrian to the town for generations. The deeper Eleanor digs, the clearer it becomes that the darkness surrounding Thornhaven is not fading.

It is waiting.

And the truth may demand a choice neither of them is prepared to make.

To break the curse could mean losing the man she has come to love.

To keep it may mean binding their fates together forever.

In a town where the past refuses to die, love may be the most dangerous choice of all.

A haunting gothic romance about secrets, sacrifice, and the strange power of choosing your own destiny.
