Synopsis

A dark, gothic slow-burn fantasy romance, Weavingshaw follows a young woman haunted by the ghosts of her past and the Saint of Silence who promises her greatest desire in return for her darkest secret...

'Darkly romantic and completely absorbing' New York Times
'One part sumptuous gothicmystery, another part all the yearning and coy wordplay of a Jane Austen novel' Shannon Chakraborty, author of The City of Brass

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐‘The yearning was unmatched’
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐‘This story completely consumed me’

‘LEENA DIDN'T BELIEVE IN MONSTERS UNTIL SHE SAW WEAVINGSHAW.’

The Saint of Silence trades coins for every sordid divulgence uttered to him. The darker the secret, the higher the price.

Leena has a secret, one that has haunted her since she was seventeen – she can see the dead. When her brother falls ill, she knows what she must do: seek the Saint.

But Leena's secret is more valuable to him that she could have imagined. To save her brother, she must make a deal with him to find the ghost he's searching for.

All paths lead to Weavingshaw, a cursed estate on the moors. As Leena grows closer to the Saint, and is plunged into his world of danger, deceit and desire, she learns that he is hiding his own secrets – ones that have the power to destroy them all.

*******

'Gorgeous gothic fantasy steeped in atmosphere and filled with yearning' Ellis Hunter, author of Blood Bound

A twisty gothic oozing with angst [...] with sharp haunted heroines and morally grey saints, Weavingshaw unfurls its shadows. I needed the next book yesterday!' Katie Wu, author of Madder Lake

A searing, revolutionary gothic masterpiece with an exquisite slow burn romance' Nadia El-Fassi, author of Best Hex Ever
