Manor of Decay

Edira Brillwyn is not enjoying retirement. Sheâs traumatized and heartbroken by Orin and the battle at Fernglove Manor. Although her brothers are safe and financially secure at home in Willowfell, she fears of wasting away her dwindling lifethreads. Itâs a welcome surprise when Seville comes knocking at her door â" at least until she reveals that the blight has returned to the Ferngloves. Edira has had a taste of the power her heartbond with Rorik provides, and sheâs certain there is a way to cure the blight for good⦠with Rorikâs help. But Rorik doesnât think his life is worth saving, at least not worth Ediraâs few remaining years, or months. Heâs more concerned about keeping her alive than saving the world. But other powerful Ever families have caught wind of Ediraâs talents and are desperate for a cure. As those families begin circling, centuries-long conflicts rise to the surface and, once again, Edira finds herself at the whims of power-hungry Evers fighting for their lives. Before she runs out of time altogether, Edira and Rorik will have to face the source of the blight: Death himself. Edira Brillwyn is a threadmender. She holds a rare, lifesaving power that can cure disease and heal injuries in the blink of an eye. But magic always comes with a cost, and saving anyone sacrifices a sliver of her own life. Sheâs always kept her abilities hiddenâ¦until the powerful Fernglove family discovers her secret. The Ferngloves are charming and beautiful, possess powerful magic, and donât take no for an answerâ"especially Orin, the head of these ruling elites.

Together at his estate theyâll research a cure while Orin slows their sickness and Edira hones her magic. His kindness and honesty surprises Edira, as does her undeniable attraction to him. But the other Ferngloves are suspicious of her power and may be more dangerous than the ever-present disease. The longer Edira stays within the confines of the Manor, the more the familyâs pristine exterior begins to crackâ"until Edira discovers a terrifying secret and must choose who she can save and at what cost⦠Tropes:*Enemies to lovers**He falls first**Dark Lord - Light Heroine**Slow Burn**Forced proximity**Forbidden Love**Betrayal**Fake bond**Magical soulbond*
