Some spirits don't want peace.
They want her.
After surviving a killer who hunted witches by moonlight, Rowan Ashwood wants nothing more than to retreat into her apothecary, sip mugwort tea, and forget the things she's seen. But magic doesn't rest, and neither do the dead.
When a letter arrives from a distant coven ally, warning of violent deaths at a decaying asylum on the Massachusetts coast, Rowan is pulled into a haunting unlike any before. Locals speak of weeping walls, forgotten rituals, and a spirit that erases memory itself.
Blackthorn Asylum isn't just haunted.
It's hungry.
Joined by Inspector Dominic Reyes-her once-reluctant ally, now entangled in her magic and her bed-Rowan must face a place where ancestral secrets rot beneath floorboards and time folds like broken mirrors. And when Rowan conjures her familiar, Nyx, a seductive shapeshifter born of shadow and desire, the boundaries between ally and temptation begin to blur.
As ritual magic intensifies, sex magick opens deeper currents, and the veil thins, Rowan must confront not just ghosts-but the legacy of pain buried in her own bloodline.
Will she banish what lingers in the Hollowed House?
Or will it claim her... body, spirit, and soul?
The Hollowed House is the second book in the darkly sensual The Hollow Wards series-a rich blend of witchcraft, erotic ritual, ancestral hauntings, and shadow work.
Perfect for fans of Deborah Harkness, Leigh Bardugo, and The Haunting of Hill House-with a witch's touch of fire and truth.
