Cursed Bloom

A crumbling manor. A cursed garden that never stops growing. A masked Order that insists her life was written “in root and bone.” When a black rose opens and the soil begins to pulse like a second heart, Aralyn’s bloodline stops being a secret and becomes a sentence.

The Hollow wants her at the center of its ritual. The Order wants her obedient. And the shadowbound stranger who slips through her cellar’s darkness offers the only thing more dangerous than prophecy: the truth.

To survive, Aralyn must descend into the house’s buried history, follow the thorns back to their origin, and step through a gate no Vale woman was meant to open. Because the curse isn’t just haunting Blackbriar—it’s spreading. And if the Bloom fully awakens, the veil will tear, the past will rise, and the world beyond the Hollow will learn what the roses remember.

Cursed Bloom is a gothic romantasy of bloodline magic, secret societies, haunted halls, and a slow-burn connection bound to the darkest part of the garden—where breaking the cycle may cost everything.
