Synopsis

This yearning, slow-burn gothic fantasy romance follows a young woman haunted by the ghosts of her past and a ruthless merchant known as the Saint of Silence, who promises her greatest desire in return for her darkest secret. . . .

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 she must seek the Saint to afford a remedy.

But Leena’s secret is more valuable than she could have imagined. To save her brother, she will make a deal to find the ghost the Saint has been 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 with the power to destroy them all.

Leena has been hardened by years of ghost hauntings, the only one able to see and interact with the beings. It’s a half-life, really, because that gift has stolen any chan......more
