[PREORDER] The Saint of Silence

Release Date: April 6, 2027

A young refugee who can see the dead must fight for a place to belong—both in life and in love—in the second book of the “darkly romantic and completely absorbing” (The New York Times) slow-burn gothic fantasy romance trilogy that began with Weavingshaw.

Leena Al-Sayer is trapped in the demon world with a dying Bram St. Silas.  

But Leena is nothing if not resourceful—and determined. Being a stranger in a strange land is far from a new experience, and she is ready to do anything to save the life of the man she has grown to love.  

Yet the deadly forces of the Wake are after her. For she and Bram now possess the red diary of the Avons—the artifact the Wake have been desperately seeking. Within its pages lies the key to the location of a powerful object: one that will let demons move freely between their realm and the human world—and will enable Leena to break Bram free of his lifetime indenture. With enemies closing in, Leena and Bram must do everything in their power to find the object before the Wake—or risk watching their entire world fall into ruin.

• SECOND IN A TRILOGY, publishing at yearly intervals, with Weavingshaw publishing in paperback in Fall 2026.
• DEBUT AUTHOR WITH LIVED EXPERIENCE: The author, like the main character, is an immigrant, and has drawn both on her own immigrant experience and her time as a doctor with the NHS in the UK to explore the depths of the human spirit. This story takes readers on an emotional journey and touches on rich, real-world themes of identity, community, displacement, and belonging.
• GOTHIC GENRE IS TRENDING: Gothic and paranormal stories remain wildly popular with readers, and this book transforms the tropes of gothic fantasy-the brooding manor house, the sinister lord, and the hidden secrets-into something entirely fresh and original.
• SLOW-BURN ROMANCE AT THE CENTER: An amazing, touching slow-burn romance at the heart of the series will appeal to readers of dark paranormal romance, where an emotional love story meets high-stakes fantasy conflict.
• TROPES: Gothic atmosphere; enemies to lovers; slow-burn romance; brooding country estates; immigrant stories.
• PRAISE FOR WEAVINGSHAW: "One part sumptuous Gothic mystery, another part all the yearning and coy wordplay of a Jane Austen novel . . . I adored every minute of Weavingshaw."-Shannon Chakraborty, New York Times bestselling author of:
