"Love is a luxury, my lord, one I simply cannot afford. When survival is of the utmost priority, one cannot simply go haring off after dreams."

The Isle of Eidolon, 1812

Much like a page from a novel, the rich foreign lord is smitten at first sight with the beautiful housemaid. Theodora Maccowen simply never thought it would happen to her. Yet, Lord Rhidian Ríoga wants her as a wife, and what a lord wants?

He gets.

Whisked away to her new husband's home in the frigid far north, Theodora discovers Síochara House is more palace than manor and far grander than her wildest imagination could have conjured. Yet a darkness lingers within its magnificent halls that the dwindling winter sunlight cannot seem to dispel. Secrets lurk in every corner, the truth twisting and changing as much as the rooms and corridors do.

Plagued by dreams of monsters and occurrences which defy all rationality, with each passing day, the reality of Theodora's situation grows ever more dire. Even her husband, whom she thought to be her ally, conceals as much as his house and people do. With nowhere to turn, she is caught between the struggle to be the perfect lady wife and her growing terror of what ought to be home... and the beasts she is certain dwell within.

For fans of The Invitation, Crimson Peak, and Raise the Blood, The Realm of Endless Night: The Secrets of Eidolon is a standalone dark and spicy gothic historical fantasy romance set in the Regency era and is part of the Otherkind Universe. This book is intended for mature audiences only. For more information regarding tropes and content, please visit the author's website.
