ROSEWRAITH: The Bound Heart

In the fog-drowned city of Duskmere, apprentice mortician Wren Ashby has a secret that would get her hanged as a witch: since childhood, she has carried a spirit bound inside an antique locket — a young man named Rowan who died protecting the cursed Ravensworth family generations ago, and who now exists only for her. When Wren is summoned to Hollowmere Hall to prepare the dying heir's body for burial... he isn't dead yet. Alistair Ravensworth is marked by the Withering, a slow death-curse woven into his bloodline three generations back, and he has weeks left to live. Wren is drawn into the manor's rot and secrets, torn between the ghost who has loved her quietly for years and the doomed young lord who is very much alive — and asking her to help him break a curse that was never meant to be broken.
