About this book

- [x]

An abandoned French chateau, a warren of death during the French Revolution, is purchased by a grief-stricken couple hoping to convert it into a hotel to aid in their recovery. However, a powerful spirit resides within that catapults their lives down a path to madness.

And what a powerful, malevolent spirit it is.

This derelict French chateau built in 1685, a survivor of the French Revolution, has many secrets. Many of them are harmless, but some are horrid. Anna Stone is the new owner and during the renovation, the secrets of the past are literally uncovered. These mysteries push Anna far from the romantic, fairytale life she so desperately desires. Many questions arise: what happened to the aristocratic family who lived in the chateau on one fateful night in 1790? Why does Anna feel drawn to the chateau? Why is there faint harpsichord music playing when she is alone in her cavernous new home?

If you enjoy paranormal gothic horror with romance and spice mixed into historical fiction, then this book is for you. It is an epic haunted house story that casts a shadow far beyond the confines of the chateau. Visit the French Revolution period and meet the motley array of characters who give the chateau her bawdy stories that become legends in Anna's time.

Must read Gothic horror

January 22, 2025

I cannot seem to make myself put this book down it is incredibly well written, with incredibly nuanced characters and surprising story lines. It is book one in what will be a trilogy. And it is absolutely mind-blowingly amazing. It's been a very long time since I read a book that I just couldn't put down and this book definitely meets that criteria. Thank you Blake for writing such a wonderful captivating novel I could not be more in love with it. )

Took over my vacation!

I brought this book with me on vacation, in Hawaii. It completely sucked me in. My vacation was spent under an umbrella with this book in my hands. I fell in love with all of the characters. You find yourself changing your mind from page to page on who you love more. It is gripping and has just the right amount of spice. I read the reviews posted here and was pretty surprised to see a 1-star review noting editing issues. this was NOT my experience. It is beautifully written. Well done!! ) 5...

She did what with a Ghost? 👀

I like how hunting was happening right away. The back story was creative and the ghost involved were fun. But I wasn’t expecting the ghost and human things to happen. Butttt it did give a creative end. If there is more I’m excited to see more. ) One person found this helpful

Awful

May 17, 2025

This novel was the biggest let down. The author desperately needs an editor. He had so many side stories thrown in that had nothing to do with whatever plot he was trying to form. He also needs an education on reproduction. In the 1700s there would not have been a way for a woman who is actively sleeping with two men to know who the father of the offspring would have been. A modern educated woman in her 40s would not believe that \"dumping herself out\" after relations to be effective birth...
