A Dreadful Splendor

Literary Fiction

Be careful what you conjure…

In Victorian London, Genevieve Timmons makes a living as a fake spiritualist, preying on wealthy mourners—until one con goes wrong, landing her in jail and facing a death sentence. Her only hope? A strange offer from a servant of Mr. Pemberton, a grieving lord. If she can conduct a convincing séance to soothe his loss, she’ll earn her freedom.

But when she arrives at Somerset Park, Genevieve finds Pemberton isn’t mourning—he’s determined. Convinced his fiancée was murdered, he needs Genevieve’s talent for illusion to help expose the killer. Their plan: stage a haunting that will force the truth out. Yet, as eerie events unfold, it becomes clear that Genevieve’s tricks aren’t needed.

Is there a real ghost haunting Somerset, or something even darker?
