The House of Emily

By Darryl Martel

The House of Emily by Darryl Martel.

When 26-year-old Emily Fraser receives an unexpected letter from a solicitor in Scotland, her orderly London life is upended. She's inherited a crumbling Victorian estate Greystone House, from a mysterious great aunt she never met, a woman who shared her name. Curious but skeptical, Emily travels north with her Aunt Margaret to see the property, expecting dust, damp, and paperwork. What she finds is a house that remembers her.

Greystone isn't just a relic from the past, it contains the past. Behind one hidden corridor lies a door that doesn't always open, and when it does, it leads somewhere... impossible. Each time Emily steps through, she finds herself transported to another version of the house, another time where her reflection wears corseted gowns and her name is already known.

As she uncovers journals, photographs, and whispers of a man named Nathaniel Blackwood, who seems untouched by time. Emily begins to piece together a startling truth: generations of women, all named Emily Fraser, have lived and vanished within Greystone's walls. The house isn't haunted. It's alive with memory.

But when Emily learns that the door she's been walking through is more than a passage, it's a legacy...she must make a choice. Carry the past forward... or close it forever.

Tinged with gothic mystery, quiet romance, and a time-bending twist, The House of Emily is a story about inheritance, identity, and the price of remembering. For some, the past is history. For Emily, it's home.
