The Bride of Blackthorn Hollow: A Gothic Romantasy Mystery

Sold to a cursed lord by her father's debt, village healer Natasha Vale enters Blackthorn Hollow expecting a prison. Instead, she finds a haunted manor, three murdered brides, and a dangerous lord who may be the only person trying to keep her alive. Lord Rowan Blackthorn's brides never survive the season. The village calls him a monster. The dead call him a liar. But when Natasha sees the ghosts trapped inside his house, she discovers the truth is far worse: the manor is built over the grave of an ancient witch queen, and Natasha's blood may be the final key to waking her. To save her village, her mother, and herself, Natasha must uncover the secrets of the dead brides, survive a wedding written in blood, and decide whether the man she was forced to marry is her doom or the only witness strong enough to stand beside her. Dark, romantic, and atmospheric, The Bride of Blackthorn Hollow is a gothic romantasy mystery with a cursed manor, forced marriage, haunted brides, slow-burn tension, and a cliffhanger leading into Book 2.
