Description
IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE PERFECT CHRISTMAS AT WISTERIA GARDENS.
Reunited at last, Blythe and Aris have settled into their magical manor and are hosting family for the holidays. Blythe has her heart set on the perfect celebration, full of as much hot chocolate and as many decorations as possible, and Aris is determined to deliver - if only he can figure out what to get the woman who holds the power of life itself.
But gifts turn out to be the least of their worries when a group of volatile spirits threatens the festivities, keeping Signa's hands full with the mystery of their deaths. It would be much easier with Sylas at her side, but he's disappeared and seems to have secrets of his own. Now Signa and Aris must work together to uncover what happened to Wisteria's ghostly inhabitants and help them move on before it's too late - all while
keeping Blythe blissfully unaware.
Set after the events of Wisteria, this new tale by Sunday Times bestselling author Adalyn Grace is a mysterious and magical holiday novella within the Gothic-infused world of the Belladonna series, complete with romantic illustrations by Lydia Elaine (@lotusbubble), a haunting new mystery to solve, and irresistible stolen moments beneath the mistletoe.
