Echoes In The Stone

Tessa Kane isn't your average detective-she hunts the shadows no one else dares touch. When women vanish near Blackthorne Castle, a crumbling relic on the Yorkshire moors, she dives in, armed with grit and a blade etched with blood. What she finds is no mere mystery: a dungeon of chains, a centuries-old pact, and Edmund Blackthorne, a lord whose hunger for torture-rape, flaying, murder-still feeds the stones. Marked by his touch, her body breaking under the weight, Tessa fights to banish him, aided by spirits of the damned. But victory comes at a cost, and the locket's return whispers of more horrors to come. For fans of unrelenting terror, this is the start of a series that doesn't flinch.Content Warning: Contains graphic violence, disturbing themes, and explicit depictions of historical trauma-reader discretion advised.
