Once Upon a Midnight Dreary : A Poe's The Raven Retelling

A GRIEVING HEIRESS. A BROODING CARETAKER. A LOVE HAUNTED BY SHADOWS AND SECRETS. When tragedy strikes, Victoria Ravenwood inherits the crumbling estate of Ravenfell Manor, hoping to find solace within its ivy-choked walls. Instead, she discovers a house alive with sorrow, secrets, and whispers of the dead. Gabriel Allward has guarded Ravenfell for years, his mysterious presence as rooted as the stones themselves. Cold and distant, he carries a secret that binds him to the estate—a truth too dangerous to share. Yet Victoria is drawn to him, even as the shadows close in. As their forbidden bond deepens, strange omens awaken: a raven in the garden, whispers in the halls, and the restless spirit of a love long lost. The closer Victoria comes to uncovering Ravenfell’s curse, the more she risks being consumed by it. NARRATED BY THE AUTHOR. A gothic romance perfect for fans of Silvia Moreno-Garcia, Hester Fox, and darkly enchanting fairy-tale retellings.
