Synopsis

In the shadows of Blackthorn Manor, some secrets refuse to stay buried.

When historian Evelyn Ashford arrives to document the crumbling estate before its sale, she expects dust-covered books, forgotten paintings, and fading memories. Instead, she finds hidden passages, sealed rooms, and a history stained with blood.
The manor belongs to Adrian Blackthorn, the last surviving heir of a family whispered about in fearful voices throughout the town. For generations, the Blackthorn name has been tied to disappearances, betrayals, and unsolved crimes that stretch back more than a century.
As strange events begin to surround the estate and a series of murders mirrors crimes long believed to be legends, Evelyn and Adrian are forced into an uneasy alliance.
Every locked door hides another secret.
Every answer creates another question.
And some truths are dangerous enough to destroy everyone who uncovers them.
Set against stormy coastlines, candlelit corridors, abandoned chapels, and moonlit graveyards, The Thorns of Blackthorn Manor is a gothic dark romance filled with mystery, crime, obsession, betrayal, and impossible choices.
Perfect for readers who enjoy atmospheric gothic settings, morally grey characters, family secrets, and slow-burning romance woven into psychological suspense.
Cover aesthetic: Inspired by the dark, symbolic gothic romance style popularized by modern dark romance covers, featuring monochrome imagery, skull symbolism, black roses, antique details, and haunting Victorian elements.
