Lavender and Hemlock

A COSY SAPPHIC ROMANTASY WITH A DARK HEART

Once upon a time, there were three: a maid, a knight and a monster. But which was which?

Housemaid Tansy's only duties are to tend to old Lady Aster and care for their quaint, peaceful, isolated seaside cottage – the Oubliette. Tansy can't remember the last time she left…or when she arrived.

Merit is a Carrion Knight. A servant of the dark entity the Unmaker, she has been raised to be a monster. But when she's wounded during a routine raid, she stumbles through a mysterious door… and finds herself tumbling into the Oubliette.

When the two meet, an instant connection forms, and a crack appears in Oubliette's perfect facade. As the bond between Merit and Tansy grows and powerful feelings rise to the surface, Tansy must question not only what she wants, but who she is. Because the origins of this charming world are darker than she could imagine – and the key to uncovering them might lie with Tansy herself.

The book of my dreams--a shadow beneath a cosy surface, a swoonworthy romance, and a twist in the tail you won’t see coming.
