A Gothic Historical Romance of forbidden love, stolen identity, betrayal, and redemption.
Of days both young and old, we inherit the tales of gods, of
men, and of monsters.
This is one such tale.
In the waning years of the Georgian age, amid war, wealth,
and the glittering spectacle of high society, there lived a
gentleman named Lord George Cornwallace. Handsome,
enigmatic, and possessed of uncommon charm, he became an
object of fascination among the ladies of the ton.
All but one.
Lady Lillian looked upon him not with admiration, but with
unease. Yet despite her protests, and after lengthy negotiations
with her uncle, a marriage was arranged.
Within months of their wedding, Lady Lillian’s once-familiar
presence vanished from society. Invitations went unanswered.
Ballrooms grew accustomed to her absence. Though whispers
stirred behind fans and drawing-room doors, no one dared
question Lord Cornwallace openly.
Then, one storm-laden night, a respected physician was
summoned to Cornwallace Manor under the strictest secrecy.
By morning, rumors had spread across the county.
And among those who heard them was one Viscount—a man
whose heart had never truly belonged to himself.
Thus begins our tale.
