Description
Booklist calls Lord of the Heights "a dangerously romantic journey" and says Scarlett J. Thorne takes "classic gothic romance to new heights....dark retelling with a searing love story that fans of Rebecca Yarros, Rachel Gillig, and Sarah J. Maas will devour."
The moors do not forget. They hunger.
James Lockwood came to Yorkshire looking for silence. Instead, a storm kills his car, the road vanishes, and Wuthering Heights opens its door as if it has been expecting him.
Nelly Dean knows why he has come. Behind the stone walls waits the true story of Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff: a girl with fire in her blood, a boy carried home in a storm, a blood oath carved between worlds, and a love fierce enough to tear the veil apart.
This is Wuthering Heights reimagined as dark gothic fae romantasy: haunted moors, ancient bargains, a sentient manor, ghosts that are never only ghosts, and a romance as dangerous as it is unforgettable.
Catherine tried to seal away her magic by choosing a mortal life. Heathcliff returns as something older and darker than the orphan the world remembers. As the solstice nears, the past begins repeating, and Lockwood must decide whether this house is asking him to witness a tragedy or help break the curse.
A standalone gothic fantasy romance for readers who want classic atmosphere, fae magic, morally gray obsession, and a haunted love story that chooses healing over revenge.
One manor. One curse. One chance to break it.
Advance Praise
“ ‘You better come before the storm takes you,’ is the running theme in this fantastical retelling of Wuthering Heights. James Lockwood came to Wuthering Heights to clear his writer’s block, but spirits are lurking. Catherine grew up with Heathcliff, knowing that he would be dangerous for her. She didn’t take heed, but when she marries another, determined to seal away her magic, Heathcliff returns. Their bond is more fiery than when they were children, and all Heathcliff sees is Catherine. The magic of ancient times and a repeating history of hurt center this dark retelling with a searing love story that fans of Rebecca Yarros, Rachel Gillig, and Sarah J. Maas will devour. Readers are immediately immersed in the dank, cold moors of Wuthering Heights before being taken on a dangerously romantic journey. Thorne takes classic gothic romance to new heights, so that even those dark-romance fans who don't care for Brontë's original will find something to love.”
