The Headless Horseman has no memory of who he is or why he became a faceless ghost. But the woman he saves awakens something deep within. Surprisingly, Katrina seeks him out to offer hot chocolate and a bargain: if he escorts her to the battlefield where her brother fell, she’ll help him piece together his forgotten life. He agrees, even as something ominous lurks in his lost memories.
While sharing sweets, quiet laughter, and vulnerable conversation, an unexpected connection grows between the pair. But with a persistent suitor and treacherous secrets drawing closer, Katrina and the Horseman must confront a haunting past that's determined to pull them apart.
Horsemen and Hot Chocolate is inspired by The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and is part of The Haunted Brew series. A collection of four cozy and spooky tales inspired by myths, lore, and legends, it is sure to bring you just the right amount of chill for your autumn evenings.
