The Silk That Bled

By Errol Noel

The Silk That Bled

They tried to bury her in silk. But the silk remembered.

In the shadowed world of colonial Saint-Domingue, where sugar is sweeter than blood and power is stitched into every gown, Dorothy was never meant to rise above her station. She was meant to serve. To obey. To disappear.
But love made her dangerous.

Caught between the forbidden arms of Captain Tom Mourelund-the heir to a brutal empire-and the dark spiritual forces of the island, Dorothy becomes a threat to everything the elite control. When betrayal leads her into a locked room and a blade meets her heart, her blood seeps into an engagement dress woven with ambition, cruelty, and lies.

She dies clutching the silk.
And she does not leave it.
Now the dress breathes.
It whispers.

And it remembers every hand that wronged her.

As the wedding approaches, the dead begin to walk in mirrors, guilt rots the living from the inside, and the island itself turns against those who tried to erase a woman who would not submit. What was once a symbol of power becomes a curse of vengeance-binding souls, unraveling legacies, and dragging secrets into the light.

Love becomes a weapon.
Silk becomes a prison.
And revenge never stays buried.

The Silk That Bled is a gothic historical fantasy of tragic romance, spiritual rebellion, and supernatural revenge-perfect for readers who crave dark, poetic storytelling with haunting atmosphere and fierce emotional stakes.
