The Devil's Last Bride

She left him to save what was left of herself. It wasn't far enough.

Three weeks after walking out of Hollowmere, Elara Verne is done being the price of Lucien Blackthorn's survival. Every time the immortal king cheats death, the curse bills someone who loves him - and it has already taken her memory of their first kiss. She will not be the ledger he pays with. So she follows the only trail that is truly hers: her mother's. The woman who went out one evening when Elara was nine, and never came back.

But Adrian Vale is patient, and he has learned to farm the curse itself. And the brooch's missing stone - the one Isolde tore out in 1819 so Lucien could never finish his bargain - is the prize both men have waited two centuries to claim. Only the heir's gift can find where it was taken. Only Elara can read the dead.

Every memory she recovers completes the curse. Every rescue costs her another piece of herself. To end this, she will have to stop running from the truth - and make the Devil's last bride the one who sets the terms.

A slow-burn, adult dark paranormal romance of obsession, sacrifice, and a love that refuses to be kept.

The Devil's Last Bride is Book Three of The Blackthorn Testament, a four-book gothic romance saga.
