A Most Decadent Curse

Two sisters must battle an ancient family curse determined to claim them in this gothic fantasy perfect for fans of A Study in Drowning and House of Salt and Sorrows.
 
Estranged sisters Annabel Lee and Lenore have one week to outrun the curse tightening around their crumbling home. Swept into a series of opulent balls in their cliffside castle, they must secure a suitor fast—or remain trapped in their family’s haunted legacy.
 
But as the sisters unravel the tragedies of their past, they suddenly find themselves in a dangerous game of life and death. Forbidden romances blossom, vengeful ghosts dance among the living, and Annabel Lee and Lenore must learn to trust each other again before it’s too late. 
 
Told in alternating perspectives and loosely inspired by the poetry of Edgar Allan Poe, this atmospheric debut immerses readers in a world of decadent ballgowns and decaying castles as it explores the complexities of grief, the wonder of first love, and the magic of a sisterly bond that can’t be broken.
