Overview

Born with power. Bound by terror. Freed by truth.

In the twilight of the Gilded Age, a young servant arrives at the great house of Greythorne hoping for a better life—but within its marble halls and glittering veneer, the powerful Rennard family hides dark family secrets born of obsession and privilege.

When Eve is drawn into their world of desire and decadence, she awakens a force her mother once bound in fear—a haunting legacy of women silenced, punished, and forgotten. Shadows whisper beneath chandeliers. Blood ties tighten. And love—if it can be called that—becomes the most dangerous secret of all.

Pearl Bound is a sapphic gothic horror steeped in the atmosphere of historical fiction—a tale of feminist defiance, forbidden longing, and the perilous cost of freedom.

Fans of gothic horror, sapphic romantasy, historical fiction and dark historical fantasy will be spellbound. With echoes of Mexican Gothic, A Dowry of Blood, and the decadent intrigue of Bridgerton, Pearl Bound delivers a story of resilience, passion, and awakening.
