Beyond Death: The Women of Blackthorn Manor

Evelyn Montgomery comes to Blackthorn Manor to escape her grief, the crumbling Vermont estate feels safer than the world that took her wife. But the house has been waiting for her.

Supernatural visions reveal a century-old murder. In 1903, a pregnant servant girl and a young medical student were killed to protect a powerful man's secrets. The dead are restless. They want justice. And they've chosen Evelyn.

With librarian Clara and chef Sarah, Evelyn uncovers evidence of corruption and murder. But the deeper they dig, the more the house fights back. Something dark is growing stronger, and it will kill to keep the past buried.

Hidden in the mansion's walls, Evelyn discovers another love story, Caroline and Lillian, two women who found sanctuary in each other when the world refused to accept them. Their legacy offers proof that even in darkness, love and truth can survive.

Three women. Voices from the past. One chance to rewrite history.
