THE GRAVEDIGGER’S MATE

She came to Ashcrest to escape what she might become. She found something worse waiting for her. Iris Mercer has spent her life running from a quiet, inherited fear—the kind that lives in blood and memory, in stories no one tells all the way through. When the signs begin to surface in her, she does what her family always did. She leaves. Ashcrest was supposed to be temporary. A place small enough to disappear in. Old enough not to ask questions. But the town has its own patterns. Its own hunger. And at the center of it stands Silas—the gravedigger who works through the night, who watches too closely, and who seems to know exactly what Iris is before she understands it herself. Because he’s been hunting her bloodline for generations. Drawn together by something neither of them can control, Iris is forced to confront the truth buried beneath her family’s past—and the choice waiting for her at its end. Stay, and become part of the cycle. Or leave… and feel it follow. Dark, atmospheric, and emotionally charged, The Gravedigger’s Mate is a gothic paranormal romance about inheritance, hunger, and the kind of love that refuses to let go—even when it should.
