Gluttony & Gardens

He has spent a century feeding his curse. She's the first thing that's made him feel alive.

Everyone in Solstice Hollow knows to avoid the estate above the lake.

The garden is dying.

The house is haunted by grief.

And the man who lives there is whispered about in frightened voices.

As the Deadly Sin of Gluttony, he's spent centuries believing hunger is all he'll ever be. 

So he hides himself away with his rotting garden, feeding just enough to survive while waiting for the world to finally forget him.

Lyra came to Solstice Hollow to disappear.

Escaping an abusive past, she wants nothing more than a quiet life arranging flowers and staying invisible. But when she's sent to investigate the mysterious garden everyone fears, she discovers the monster at its center isn't cruel.

He's lonely.

The more time she spends beneath the dead branches of his estate, the more impossible things begin to happen. Flowers bloom where they shouldn't. Hope returns to soil long believed cursed. And the man who has starved himself of love for a hundred years starts believing salvation might still exist.

But some hungers refuse to stay buried.

As the longest night of the year approaches, an ancient curse awakens beneath the garden's roots, threatening to consume everything Gluttony has sacrificed to protect. Saving the Hollow may require him to embrace the very hunger he's spent a century trying to control…

…or lose the only woman who's ever made him want more than survival.
