Overview

A scandalous night binds Amoret of the Rose to the most dangerous man at court. Wales, 1525. Daughter of a mortal lord and Venus herself, Amoret has always believed love should be abundant-until she is claimed by the enigmatic sorcerer Lord Busirane and taken to Thornhallow Castle, a black-stone fortress deep in the Welsh hills. There, amid secret gardens, blood magic, and rooms that seem to breathe with old enchantments, she is drawn into a marriage as intoxicating as it is perilous. Lord Busirane does not court. He studies. He collects. And in his castle of dark wonders, pleasure and possession blur into something far more sinister. Amoret loses everything: her lover, her freedom, the right to choose what happens to her own body. But she is her mother's daughter. Venus-blooded. Unbroken. She survives a year of careful cruelty and a love that was never meant to let her go-and escapes. What waits for her should be simple. Leopold Scudamore-soldier, scholar, and the only man who has ever truly seen her-offers something she has never had before: a love that asks nothing. But Leopold is no longer the man she remembers. To be worthy of her, he has remade himself-dragging something back from the dead that should have stayed buried. What grows from bone carries its own hungers, its own will, and its own claim on him. As the man she loves begins to change, Amoret is forced to confront a truth she has spent her life avoiding: Love is never harmless. And freedom always has a cost. When the darkness calls again-from the woods, from the past, from within the man she chose-Amoret must decide: How much of herself can she keep... and still hold on to love? A dark gothic reimagining of The Faerie Queene, Lady of the Rose is a story of power, desire, and the price of choosing yourself in a world that demands you belong to someone else. Perfect for readers of Circe and Mexican Gothic.
