In the haunted marshlands of Blackmoor Hollow, the Widow’s Manor stands as a relic of grief and whispered curses. When down-on-her-luck historian Evelyn Marr is invited to catalog the estate for sale, she thinks it’s her last chance to salvage her reputation. But the manor has other plans. Nightly wails echo through the halls. Portraits change expression. And the name of the widow—long erased from public record—returns to the lips of the dying.
The letter arrived on a Tuesday, brittle as autumn leaves, its seal cracked and smudged with
something darker than wax. Evelyn Marr read it three times before believing it wasn’t some
tasteless prank. A solicitor in Devon—Ashbridge & Sons, a firm that hadn’t existed for over
forty years by her recollection—was requesting her presence at Blackmoor Hollow to
“inspect and catalogue the personal effects of the late Lady Elowen Harrow, widow of the
11th Lord Harrow, deceased without heir.”
