Thistleheart

Blythe Hamilton has disappeared, leaving a not-so-bereaved fiance to search for the next pretty face.

In the abandoned gardens of the great estate known as Thistleheart, Blythe finds the solitude she craves—and an unexpected bonus. Caleb Torino, the Guardian of Thistleheart, is bound to the crumbling walls by love and memories.

But the ghosts of Thistleheart can't rest in peace with the ancient demon Abyssal circling restlessly outside the protective walls. Those it has eaten scream at her from beyond the gardens, begging for mercy, demanding she join them in their eternal hell.

If Blythe can't defeat Abyssal, her family, Caleb, and even Thistleheart itself will pay the price.
