Beneath the Ashes of the Vallance Estate

Amid decades of immortal solitude, in one of the grandest châteaus in all of eighteenth-century France, hails Lord Darieden Vallance, a brawny beauty who has chosen to abandon his solitary life by stepping out of the shadows of his entombment-the architectural marvel of malice that he calls home, the Vallance Estate. Darieden’s creator, Demona, is the cold-flesh embodiment of an ancient goddess, a creature of unmatched beauty and mythological strength. Sovereign of an unholy trinity, Demona’s pleasures are found in denying Darieden his own fulfillment; he has no choice but to endure her relentless torment and fabricated reality keeping him in a constant state of loneliness and isolation. To Darieden, she is Mother. To pursue his freedom, Darieden must challenge the only narrative he has ever known, to escape Demona’s crippling grasp. If not for himself, then for those who hold his unbeating heart-Katrina, Nicholette, and Landon. Katrina of Ange Déchu is a passionate, sultry gypsy. Nicholette of Bella Noté is a demure Siren with calico hair. Landon Kaveleno is the gentle-natured son of the coachman and a robust stable hand. Darieden charges through an epic preternatural crusade of blood lust, love, and betrayal. Darieden’s greatest discovery will be finding his true self after a century of merely existing. Through his beautiful torment, this dark antihero will capture the hearts of readers as they are immersed into this intoxicating atmosphere, divided by paralleling romantic tensions and compounding suspense until the grand-ball climax and an unimaginable finale.
