Ashes of Austen: A Shadows of Pemberley Novel

By Zoe Blake

A DARK WARNING. A DANGEROUS SEDUCTION.

The first in the Gothic romance series Shadows of Pemberley, a seductive modern-day reimagining of Jane Austen's most daring worlds, from USA Today bestselling author Zoe Blake.

Aristocratic scandal. Murder. A legacy cursed by Northanger Abbey.

Jane Austen's novels are not romances, they are a warning. Her poisoned pen exposed the arrogance and greed of British high society, even as she cursed them for it.

Reborn as a modern story of obsession, control, and dangerous desire.

To save her family from ruin, Julianna Whitcombe must marry the cold and enigmatic Lord Victor Tilney.

But within the crumbling walls of Northanger Abbey, danger lurks at every turn. Her wedding gown is destroyed, poison appears in the food, and a near-fatal accident makes one thing clear: someone is determined to stop the wedding. As whispers of a deadly bridal curse spread through the abbey, Julianna begins to uncover Tilney's dark and twisted legacy.

Yet the greatest mystery is Victor himself. Fiercely protective and dangerously possessive, he may be the only man who can save her--or the one she should fear most.

Dark, seductive, and steeped in gothic suspense, Ashes of Austen will leave readers breathless as love battles the forces of vengeance and a deadly curse that may destroy them both.
