An isolated mansion outside New Orleans. A mercurial and enigmatic boss. And a young woman drawn to his horrific secret. This dark gothic romance offers a paranormal reimagining of Charlotte Brontё's Jane Eyre, one that crosses both geography and time, a story about redemption, love and a reminder that the world is full of monsters in human form.
It is you I must have and no other. Say you will be mine. Say it now.
Eager to escape the cruel institution that raised her, Jane accepts a position at a sprawling Louisiana mansion. Her boss, a mercurial and mysterious man, seems to be the grandson of the old woman Jane was hired to care for and comes and goes on inexplicable business trips. As Jane settles into her role, she grows suspicious of Mr. Rochester's true identity-and his odd relationship with his grandmother-until his secret becomes apparent, and impossible to believe.
Unsuited to his world and terrified of his wickedness, Jane longs to save Rochester from who he is. But, as she learns the truth of the love stories he's already lived and faces a creature that has claimed him for its own, his darkness threatens to destroy them both.
This reimagining of Jane Eyre pours fresh blood into the haunting romance of the beloved gothic classic, as the characters you thought you knew face off in an otherworldly game.
