In a world where death whispers through the trees... can one girl hold onto her soul?

Set in a darkly re-imagined Napoleonic France, this Christian gothic fantasy unfolds in the shadow of Ravenswolde, an elite assassin's academy hidden deep within a haunted wood. Here, the most gifted (and most ruthless) young people are trained to serve Emperor Napoleon, who has a chilling plan to raise an army of ghosts and conquer the living.

For Elspeth, a banshee who foresees death through her uncontrollable screams but can do nothing to save others from death, Ravenswolde is a prison of temptation and terror. Fresh from the shelter of a nunnery, her strong morals clash with a brutal curriculum where students are taught seduction, deception, and assassination. Each refusal to participate brings her closer to punishment... and eventually, death.

Lucian, the tormented son of the school's cruel headmistress, is drawn to Elspeth's purity... and her supernatural power. He wants to possess her gift, but she refuses to yield, even as the shadows press closer and the ghosts of Ravenswolde whisper secrets no one dares speak aloud. As Elspeth faces the ultimate choice, to sacrifice her soul, or lose her life, she must uncover the truth behind Napoleon's ghostly ambitions and the sinister history of the forest that surrounds them.

Perfect for new adult fans of gothic romance, supernatural suspense, and Regency-era fantasy, Ravenswolde blends Christian allegory, historical intrigue, and paranormal mystery into an unforgettable tale of darkness, faith, and forbidden love.
