THE ROSE QUEEN OF BLACKTHORN CASTLE

Beyond a forgotten village, hidden behind a vast field of crimson roses, stands Blackthorn Castle-an ancient fortress surrounded by legends, whispers, and a curse that has endured for two centuries.

When Evelyn Ashbourne, a young woman travelling through the countryside, is stranded during a violent storm, she finds herself drawn toward the mysterious castle.

There she meets Alexander Blackwood, its enigmatic and immortal lord.

From the moment they meet, Evelyn feels an impossible connection to him.

Yet Alexander knows something she does not.

He has been waiting for her for two hundred years.

Evelyn soon discovers a portrait inside the castle of a woman named Evelina Ashbourne, who looks exactly like her. Evelina was Alexander's great love, murdered in 1826 by his own family.

But death did not end their story.

An ancient curse bound Alexander to the castle and condemned Evelyn's soul to return every century. In every lifetime, she finds him again. In every lifetime, she falls in love with him. And in every lifetime, the curse demands her death.

But this time something is different.

Evelyn begins to remember.

She discovers hidden letters written by Alexander across generations, secret chambers beneath the castle, and a forgotten prophecy concerning the mysterious Rose Queen.

Then William Sterling, an ambitious aristocrat obsessed with immortality, arrives at Blackthorn. He intends to use Evelyn's blood to awaken the ancient power buried beneath the castle and claim eternal life for himself.

As the blood moon rises, Evelyn must finally confront the truth.

The curse does not demand that she die.

It demands that she choose.

To save Alexander, must she sacrifice herself?

Or can she break centuries of darkness by choosing a different kind of love-the courage to live?

As Blackthorn Castle begins to crumble and thousands of roses turn from crimson to white, Evelyn faces the greatest choice of her existence.
