When Celeste Laurent receives a mysterious letter claiming to hold answers about her father's disappearance, she travels to the isolated Ashford Manor—a sprawling estate shrouded in secrets, storms, and whispers of a monster hidden in its walls.

Determined to uncover the truth, Celeste soon discovers that the manor is far more dangerous than she imagined. Behind locked doors and hidden passageways lies a dark history of experiments, corruption, and a powerful family willing to do anything to protect their secrets.

Then she meets Rowan Ashford.

Feared by those around him and haunted by a past he never chose, Rowan is not the monster everyone believes him to be. As Celeste and Rowan grow closer, they uncover a conspiracy that connects their lives in ways neither could have imagined.

But some truths were never meant to be found—and exposing them may cost everything.

A gothic retelling inspired by Beauty and the Beast, filled with mystery, romance, and dark secrets.
