Unearthly Delights

'A drizzly, moody, and lustrously carnal rendition of a storybook tale, Savage Blooms is the holy grail for lovers of dark academia and faery magic alike. By the time I got to the epilogue, I was ready to bite into the pages like they were made of faery fruit, just so I'd never have to leave' Sierra Simone, author of Priest

Inspired by Wuthering Heights, Savage Blooms is the sensational new gothic fantasy romance from internationally bestselling author S.T. Gibson, author of the cult phenomenon A Dowry of Blood.

For as long as Adam can remember, the legends passed down from his world-traveling grandfather have called him to a crumbling manor in the Highlands. His closest friend Nicola longs for the same adventure, as well as for Adam himself. She'll follow him just about anywhere -even to the remote wilds of Scotland-if it pushes the pair to surrender to their shared attraction.

But when a storm strikes and strands them unexpectedly, Adam and Nicola find themselves at the mercy of the eccentric owner of the infamous house, Eileen, as well as her brooding groundskeeper, Finley.

Trapped by the weather, and bound by ancient faery magic, Nicola and Adam get more than they bargained for as they become entangled in Eileen and Finley's world of mind games, deceit and forbidden desire. As ancestral sins are unearthed, Adam and Nicola will have to reckon with the spell Eileen and Finley have cast over them - and whether or not they even want to be free.

Praise for S.T. Gibson:

'With Savage Blooms, Gibson cements herself as one of the strongest and most unique voices in gothic romance. This dangerous and decadent subversion of a found family is fresh, unabashedly queer, and gripping from the very first rain-soaked page. Gibson is a ferociously talented writer at the top of her game' Sydney Shields, author of The Honey Witch

'A dark and sensuous gothic tale where jewelled prose and mysterious folklore fuse in a heady, intoxicating potion. Gibson is a master of seduction' Maddie Martinez, author of The Maiden and her Monster

'Weaving a lush tapestry that is at turns diabolically sexy and unbearably anguished, Gibson draws readers into this darkly decadent fairy tale where love is the most poisoned fruit of all. Savage Blooms is a portrait of an author at the top of her game, ushering in a new standard for gothic romance' K. M. Enright, author of Mistress of Lies

'Savage Blooms unfurls with languid, deliberate intent-lush, seductive, and laced with thorns. Every petal tempts and every page cuts in S. T. Gibson's darkly sensual-and yes, savage-modern fairy tale.' Lyra Selene, author of A Feather So Black

'A darkly decadent descent into desire. A masterful exploration of faerie bargains, ancestral burdens, and power struggles woven between the pages of a thrilling tale you can't help but be swept up in' Hazel McBride, author of A Fate Forged in Fire
