Praise for Blackthorne House
"Amazing!"
"Chills. Legit had no idea where it was going and kept me guessing the entire time."
"I’m obsessed! I love it!"
"I legit rejected calls because I wasn’t going to pause the read!"
"Inspiring and so talented!"
"That was soooooo good!! I was completely invested and could picture the descriptions while reading!"
"You are truly gifted! 🩷🩷"
"It’s sooooo good!!"
"It swept me away and completely captured my imagination. Thank you for writing such an amazing story."
"Another standout, The Accord of Salt and Soul centered around a woman meant to be sacrificed to a Sea God... except neither of them were willing to follow the fate chosen for them. The tension, the chemistry, the mythology woven into the story-- I was completely enthralled and desperately wished it had been expanded into a full novella."
"Another tale featuring a sacrifice meant for a Sea God? OBSESSED. The tension. The mythology. The chemistry. I needed 300 more pages immediately."
"Oh my God!! Take me to the sea!!! Magnificent!"
Accord of Salt & Soul Blurb:
Every five years, a young woman is sacrificed to the ocean god, Thalen. Until Maris.
She wants only to be released from her duty to the kingdom she’s sworn to protect. But when Thalen rejects her as the chosen sacrifice, relief turns to terror. Now the kingdom believes she’s cursed, and the Thanyktas Order is closing in to decide what to do with her.
As Maris searches for the truth behind Thalen’s rejection, the priesthood names her closest friend as the next sacrifice. Intervening could expose everything she’s uncovered, but staying silent might damn them both.
And if Maris chooses wrong, the fate awaiting her may be far worse than death.
Anthology Synopsis:
Sirens, Selkies, monsters, and myths… are merely the beginning of what you’ll find within the pages of this ocean themed anthology. Clever, immersive, and emotionally honest, this collection is for readers who grew up on fairy tales and still want to believe in the wildness of eternal magic. Lines will be crossed, souls will be awakened, and pearls may be clutched as each story takes you deep into the heart of the unforgiving sea.
Seven authors and nine stories come together to give you an experience that will parallel the mighty waves on a stormy night. Through the salty ink dripped into every word you’ll explore myths that refuse to stay dead, unique realms full of strange underwater curiosities, and tales that will leave you asking…could there be a lurking terror within the depths of us all?
We believe you’ll find the answer after treading far Beyond The Churning Tides.
