Selene never expected her life to begin inside a decaying mansion. Freshly graduated, broke, and desperate for stability, she inherits her estranged aunt’s sprawling estate—rumored to house a legendary private library. Hoping only for dusty shelves and rare books, she crosses the threshold… and awakens something far older than cobwebs.Adrian Blackwood, cursed for centuries to wander the mansion’s halls, materializes before her—just as shocked as she is. No one has been able to see him for generations. When Selene faints at the sight, he instinctively catches her, bewildered by the contact. What begins as a night of fear and confusion turns into an uneasy agreement: she will stay. She will read, search, and maybe discover why fate has chosen her.Within the library’s shadowed depths, Selene finds fragments of her family’s history: whispers of curses, strange symbols, and warnings about bloodlines intertwined with death. Adrian explains the rules he knows—he cannot leave, his existence is tethered to the house. But her presence twists those rules. Soon, Selene uncovers a chilling truth: if she fails to break his curse before her twenty-fourth birthday, she will die.Despite fear, Selene finds herself drawn to Adrian’s loneliness. He is arrogant, sharp-tongued, and infuriating, yet beneath his mocking veneer is a man scarred by centuries of betrayal. Their cohabitation evolves into reluctant companionship: shared meals where he pretends to eat just to sit across from her, heated debates that leave her laughing despite herself, and late nights spent poring over books where his eyes linger too long on her.The bond deepens unexpectedly. One accidental touch allows Adrian to step beyond the gates of the mansion for the first time in centuries. Together, they test freedom: a carnival, where Adrian marvels at roller coasters and Selene teases his cowardice; an ice cream stand, where secrets melt alongside cones; a bookstore, where their banter turns into blushing intimacy. Desire lingers in every brush of fingers, but so does dread. The curse is tightening its grip—Selene falls ill, dreams twisted by shadows, her life force entangled with Adrian’s fate.Clues emerge from her aunt’s records: she too had tried and failed to end the curse. Yet Selene’s determination sparks something new in Adrian—hope. A rainstorm traps them indoors, laughter spills into a slow dance, and their hearts betray what their lips do not yet say.But the truth will not stay hidden. The curse was no accident: a sorcerer’s vengeance bound their bloodlines together, ensuring that love and death would walk hand in hand. As Selene’s birthday nears, the mansion itself revolts—cracking mirrors, whispering shadows, the air thick with dread. Selene’s research uncovers the final cruelty: only one may live. For Adrian to be free, she must die. For her to live, he must remain cursed forever.On the edge of despair, Adrian confesses what he swore he would not—he has fallen in love with her. Selene, trembling but unyielding, admits she feels the same. Their stolen moments of joy—coffee dates, arcade games, fleeting laughter—become defiance against fate itself.As the final hour strikes, love and sacrifice collide. Selene and Adrian must face the curse’s origin, the jealous sorcerer’s lingering shadow, and the devastating choice written in their blood. Will they surrender to history’s tragic repetition—or forge a new ending, even if it costs them everything?A gothic romance woven with banter, longing, and the shadow of inevitable sacrifice, The Curse of Adrian Blackwood is a tale of two souls caught between destiny and desire, where love itself may be the only force strong enough to shatter eternity.
