The Cursed Child of Rua do Beco 1

By Pat waDon

Born under whispers and raised among shadows, Benedita Gomes scrubs silver in a mansion that holds more secrets than mirrors. Labeled "the cursed child" by the aristocracy she serves, she keeps her head low and her tongue sharp-until the day her loyalty costs her everything.

In the gilded halls of Solar dos Ferreiras, cruelty wears perfume and smiles with perfect teeth. When Benedita defies the venomous Marquesa Camila, she sparks a scandal that threatens to consume them both. Caught between a powerful nobleman whose eyes see too much and a legacy written in blood, she must choose: submission, love, survival, or rebellion.

Set in Regency-era Portugal, this gothic tale of forbidden love and social defiance will sweep you into a world where servants speak in whispers-and the truth is more dangerous than any curse.

Perfect for fans of historical intrigue and heroines who fight with wit, not just will.
