She bought the land. She didn’t know she was inheriting its dead.
Serenity was meant to be Stevie Marshall’s fresh start—an impossibly cheap farmhouse in Blackwood Reach, far from the life she left behind in Melbourne. But the house is keeping secrets: rooms that go cold for no reason, doors that open on their own, and beyond the northern paddock lies a stretch of forest the locals refuse to name after dark.
Then Stevie meets Bennett Sorrell. Gentle, guarded and burdened by a guilt he won’t explain, Bennett is the first reason she has found to stay.
He’s also dead.
Bennett isn’t the only spirit bound to Serenity. Gloria Calloway was murdered on the property in 1946, and eighty years have done nothing to temper her rage. She doesn’t want justice. She wants every debt Blackwood Reach owes her paid in full, including Bennett, whose connection to her is far more terrible than Stevie could have imagined.
But Stevie is more than the latest name on Serenity’s deed. She is the last descendant of the family that bound Bennett and Gloria together, and perhaps the only person who can set them free.
Gloria has waited eighty years for her reckoning, and she has no intention of letting love stand in her way.
The Descendant is a haunting dark paranormal romance about inherited guilt, buried violence and a love powerful enough to challenge the dead.
Genre: Paranormal Romance
