A cursed manor. A dangerous heir. A Lantern that sees the truth beneath your skin. After losing her position in London, archivist Elara Whitcombe accepts a job at isolated Blackthorne Hall —a brooding estate with locked wings, forbidden archives, and a history of women who vanish without explanation. When an ancient Lantern awakens at her touch, Elara becomes entangled in a generational curse tied to Lord Corvin Blackthorne , whose fractured shadow hides a truth capable of destroying them both. As Elara investigates hidden journals, supernatural artifacts, and the Hall’s eerie sentience, she uncovers a Pact forged in desperation—one the Church is determined to end, even if it means tearing the Lantern from the bloodline that depends on it. Filled with gothic atmosphere, slow-burn romance, buried secrets, and heart-shaking revelations, The Lantern of Blackthorne Hall is perfect for fans of romantasy, dark academia, and haunted-house fantasy.
