• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Orphaned and sickly, young Joscelin Charpentier, along with older sister Eulalie, is taken in by a wealthy uncle. The children cope with Uncle Marcel's cold indifference as best as they can, but Eulalie enjoys all the attention as the healthier child while Joscelin is subjected to the cruelty of a resentful nurse. Comfort and affection come his way in the person of Aunt Rosanna, a rapidly fading gentlewoman from Italy who develops and nurtures a unique bond with the lonely child.

It's a bond that will be tested in the future following a night of murder and suicide, and on his return home after years of isolated study, Joscelin discovers just how deeply that connection runs as the château's long-held secrets fight to untangle themselves. Eerie muffled calls from somewhere in the château disturb the residents some nights, and Joscelin's homecoming intensifies the hauntings as the dead sense and acknowledge his presence.

The mystery surrounding Aunt Rosanna's disappearance leads him to a broken iron piece with a rusted lily on one end. With only dark memories to guide him, Joscelin struggles to overcome deeply held fears in his bid to pay back a debt and bring his lost aunt home.

Autorenporträt

I've lived most of my life in the San Francisco Bay Area though I wasn't born there (or, indeed, the USA). I'm married with no kids and three cats.

I started off as a writer of gay young adult fiction, specializing in contemporary fantasy, historical fantasy, and historical genres. My books ranged from a superhero fantasy series to reworked and original folktales to Victorian ghost fiction.

I've since expanded to gay New Adult fiction, which reflects similar themes as my YA books and varies considerably in terms of romantic and sexual content.

While I've published with a small press in the past, I now self-publish my books. Please visit my site for exclusive sales and publishing updates.
