About the book
About Lanterns of Ash and Blood
Some curses are meant to be broken. Others demand a price. In the haunted village of Thornfell, the past lingers in every shadow, and reality itself is unraveling. Sera Thornfield has spent her life trying to outrun the legacy of betrayal that taints her bloodline. But when an ancient curse awakens, warping the fabric of time and twisting the people she loves into eerie reflections of themselves, she is forced to confront the dark history her ancestors tried to bury. Guided by the cryptic writings of a long-lost scholar and wielding a blood-red lantern that flickers between worlds, Sera must navigate a maze of shifting echoes and forgotten truths. Every step brings her closer to the Harbinger's Domain-a realm where the past is written in ash, and the future bleeds away like ink in water. But the deeper she delves, the clearer it becomes: this isn't just a fight to break a curse. It's a battle for Thornfell's very existence. And the shadows are watching. For fans of Gideon the Ninth and House of Hollow, Lanterns of Ash and Blood is a gothic fantasy woven with eerie magic, unsettling mysteries, and a heroine who must decide whether to embrace the darkness or burn it away.
