Embers on the Moor - A Gothic Witch Romance: A Gothic Victorian Lesbian Romance of Witches, Fire, and Forbidden Love on the Yorkshire Moors (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798278675341)

THE FIRES BEGIN THE NIGHT SHE ARRIVES.

In the winter of 1883, Beatrice Ashford inherits Thornwood Hall, a decaying Gothic estate stranded on the windswept Yorkshire moors. Scholarly, rational, and newly arrived from London, she expects crumbling walls and cold halls-not whispered accusations, mysterious arson, and rumors of a witch watching from the flames.

Rowena Blackwood has lived her entire life beneath those whispers. A reclusive apothecary whose mother died in a fire fifteen years earlier, she is feared by the village for her knowledge of herbs and healing. When the fires return, suspicion falls on Rowena once again, stoked by superstition, religious zeal, and a hunger for someone to blame.

As Beatrice begins to investigate the escalating fires, her search for evidence draws her into Rowena's guarded world-one of dried herbs, hard-won knowledge, and dangerous truths buried in the moorland soil. Together, they uncover signs of deliberate arson, a conspiracy rooted in greed, and a legacy of violence against women who dared to live outside society's control.

What neither woman expects is the slow, undeniable pull between them.

In an era that refuses to name their desire, their connection becomes both a refuge and a risk. Each step closer threatens not only their reputations, but their lives. As the fires spread and the village turns toward mob justice, Beatrice and Rowena must decide what they are willing to burn-and what they are willing to fight for.

Embers on the Moor is a Gothic historical lesbian romance steeped in atmosphere, mystery, and forbidden love. Perfect for readers who love slow-burn sapphic romance, Victorian Gothic fiction, witchcraft without magic, and stories of women reclaiming power through knowledge, courage, and devotion. This is a tale of cold cases and old sins, of passion that smolders beneath restraint, and of embers that refuse to die.
