How far would obsession take you-if no one was watching?
October Willow Thorne is brilliant, beautiful, and profoundly untouchable. Born into poverty and sharpened by it, she has carved out a life of immense wealth, impeccable taste, and absolute control. To the outside world, she is an eccentric heiress with a flair for decadence. Behind closed doors, she operates a business so secret-and so morally abhorrent-that discovery would mean annihilation.From a troubled adolescence steeped in isolation and forbidden desire to her rise as a woman who bends death, power, and people to her will, October's story is one of corruption dressed in elegance. Every relationship is transactional. Every intimacy is calculated. Love, violence, and devotion blur until they are indistinguishable.
As blackmail, betrayal, and murder begin to close in, October is forced to confront a truth she has long avoided: control is an illusion, and desire always demands payment.
Unflinching, lyrical, and deeply disturbing, In Sickness and In Death is a transgressive psychological horror novel that explores taboo impulses, moral decay, and the terrifying places the human mind will go when freed from consequence.
This is not a story of redemption.
This is a story of reckoning.
