A ruined abbey. A ravenous god. A woman ready to be consumed.
Sarah Thorne, a disgraced environmental conservator, seeks redemption in the mist-choked ruins of Blackwood Abbey. But the ancient forest hides a secret: the Thorn Saint, a semi-sentient arborous entity that feeds on sorrow. Its skin is veined marble, its sap a cold, translucent fire, and its hunger is a pull she feels in her very bones.
Drawn into the creature's orbit, Sarah's carefully constructed world begins to crumble. The Saint offers a dark solace, a chance to dissolve her grief into its ancient, earthy being. But this communion comes at a price. To feed the Saint, she must surrender not just her pain, but herself.
THE BONE GARDEN is a dark, gothic tale of slow-burn obsession and sensual surrender. As Sarah's professional mask cracks, she descends into a visceral, tactile relationship with the entity that promises to unmake her. In the heart of the ruined abbey, she must decide if the terrifying freedom the Saint offers is worth the complete and total unraveling of her soul.
