The Ashenwood Vigil

Details

Deep within the perpetually fog-shrouded Blackwood Moors, secluded from respectable society, stands the decaying grandeur of Ashenwood Sanatorium. Here, Dr. Isadora Thorne, a brilliant yet disgraced physician, tends to a patient nobody else would dare approach: Lord Alaric Vane. For two long years, his aristocratic frame has lain comatose, a silent testament to a horrific act of violence that sent shivers through the ton. Isadora has guarded his slumber, desperate for him to remain unwaking, for his past is a nightmare she barely survived. Then, against all medical reason, Alaric’s eyes snap open. His memory is a void, his common sense a casualty. Terrified of the calculating monster she once knew, yet bound by an inexplicable pull, Isadora whispers a desperate lie: 'You are my husband, and this is our home.' She plays the devoted wife to a man whose very gaze holds the promise of danger, navigating his disoriented charm and sudden, unsettling possessiveness. But as the mists of the Moors conceal old secrets, the truth of Alaric Vane's bloody history begins to stir, threatening to engulf them both in a scandal far deadlier than any plague.
