A Burden in Blood eBook Pre-order

The history of Eybourne Castle is one plagued by sorry souls and miserable marriages. It is not a place where love grows, but one where malice festers and darkness looms. The winds howl like they are weeping. The foundation groans as though alive. The shadows shift though all is still. Such dreadful halls have never been graced with a happy couple.

Until the day Luceth, Baron of Griswoeld, proposed to his bride, Sido. Whisked away to the isolated island of Griswoeld, not even the oppressive weight of the castle can dim their wedded bliss. For three years, their days have been spent in joyous indolence and their nights entangled in one another.

But happy marriages are their own kind of annihilation. Sido knows this well. If she didn’t love her husband so, she wouldn’t harbor a secret from him. One that threatens to upend their easy bliss and change their lives forever. She knows the fateful day will come when all will be revealed. What she does not yet realize, is that she may not live to see it.

For the evil in the castle has slept long enough. Each passing day brings something sinister to bear. Strange sightings menace the servants, and Sido is troubled by vivid dreams of doom. And unbeknownst to all, the sea carries an unexpected arrival that will turn the entire island on its head.

Everyone will bleed. The only question is: Who will survive?
