Inhaltsangabe

Soft Hearts are Easily Swallowed No one in Boston hires mad workhouse girls suspected of murder. So they've packed me off to the mountains of North Carolina to serve a house full of secrets. Here, ghost lights flicker through tall trees. Voices whisper from empty corners. Children walk into the woods and never return. And the master of the house? They say he's man with coal for eyes. A devil in a banker's suit. And ... he'll be home soon. ........................................... 'A Vow For Breaking' is a forbidding, standalone novel steeped in Appalachian lore, inherited curses, and a backwoods mansion brimming with otherworldly terror. Set in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, this dark fairy tale follows Sloane McIntyre, a Boston-born workhouse girl and suspected murderess, who is sent away to serve a rich man and his ailing wife. But what begins as a promising new start curdles into something far more sinister. Sloane soon finds herself drawn into a labyrinth of horrors only a demon could survive. Gothic, eerie, and emotionally sharp, A Vow for Breaking will appeal to readers of Appalachian folk horror, historical gothic fiction, and haunting fables where nothing is as it seems ... and almost everything is hungry. With lyrical menace and atmospheric depth, author L.M. Riviere delivers a chilling story of suspicion, confinement, and the monstrous things we keep locked inside.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

L.M. Riviere grew up on 80's flicks and twisted fairy tales and it shows. Her stories flirt with the inherent darkness of the human condition, blending fable, mythology, and pseudo-historical narrative-in an effort to seduce, mystify, and unsettle readers. She'd be overjoyed to learn anyone lost sleep over one of her yarns. She is most influenced by the works of Peter Beresford Ellis, J.R.R. Tolkien, Charles Dickens, Frank Herbert, Anne Rice, and Juliet Marillier. Her favorite book of all time, is Herbert's 'Dune'. Riviere is also a Photographer, Editor, and Marketing Professional. When she isn't writing, she's battling the elements for the perfect shot, hiking any and everywhere, or playing in myriad bodies of water.L.M. Riviere is the author of three full-length works of literary fantasy in 'The Innisfail Cycle' series: Books One through Three are available anywhere books are sold. She is also the author of three folk horror and dark fairy tales, 'A Dark Most Fair' (2025), 'A Vow for Breaking' (2026), and 'A Devil for Delilah Winter' (2027)
