The Hollow Claim: A Dark Gothic Romance: Wraithmere Hall, Volume 1

Elowen Ashford has nowhere left to run.Dragged from the mainland by silent men and delivered to the fog-shrouded cliffs of Wraithmere Hall, she steps into a world of crimson-lit windows and doors that open on their own. The master of the house is Cassian Vale-cold, ancient, and unnervingly patient. He does not want her blood.He wants her fear.For three hundred years, every bride brought to Wraithmere has vanished. Their portraits line the halls, their names fill a hidden ledger, and their terror feeds something far older than the stone walls themselves.But Elowen is different. She is the last of the chosen bloodline, and the house has been waiting for her.When Elowen discovers the truth hidden in the Ashford Ledger, she stops running. For the first time, she begins to fight back-testing secret passages, starving the house of the fear it craves, and refusing to break.But Wraithmere is alive.And it does not like being starved.A chilling gothic tale of defiance and quiet courage, The Hollow Claim is the gripping first volume in a new YA series perfect for fans of Carmilla, atmospheric suspense, and stories where the house itself is the monster.Some doors should never be opened... but Elowen has already stepped through.Volume Two coming soon.
