Fantasy & Lore
Impossible magic,
breathtaking devotion,
and destinies that
rewrite the stars.
SHADOWS OF THE LAMP • BOOK ONE
A haunted inheritance.
A forbidden mage.
A bond beyond death.
When Edwin Blackthorn inherits Evershade Manor, he expects debt and decay, not stopped clocks, impossible chimes, and the ghost of a child lost to family history. To break the curse, he turns to Julian Winter, an exiled mage from London’s hidden night market. But the manor’s haunting is bound to blood, old magic, and Edwin’s own awakening inheritance, and survival will demand trust from two men with every reason to guard their hearts.
