The Apocrypha
SAVAGE BLOOMS prologue early access 💋
Happy Friday, Apocrypha readers! I’ve got a surprise treat for you today in addition to July’s upcoming craft essay.
Please enjoy the prologue from SAVAGE BLOOMS, my super spicy gothic romance coming in fall 2025. Obviously this book isn’t through copyedits yet, so there may be changes made to the published version, but I thought you might enjoy taking a peek. Sometimes, seeing the evolution of WIP to final product is cool. And, for a visual aid, feast your eyes once again on this stunning illustration of my incredibly doomed-by-the-narrative polycule, created by Isabel Burke!
PROLOGUEÂ
The land had been lying in wait for forty-seven years by the time the young man arrived. Forty-seven years of dormancy, of the deep, dark sleep of ancient things.
