In the shadows of Galecliff, Emelyn Morley navigates love, peril, and a rising vampire prophecy.
Southern England, 1735. Emelyn Morley stands at the crossroads of mortal history and vampire prophecy. The Belle of Brighton is bound by duty to rescue her family’s fading estate—but destiny is calling from the dark.
Having secured the favor of a man known as the Bloodhound of His Majesty’s Navy, Emelyn travels with Lord Captain Van Croft, whom she finds both intriguing and impossible, to the lonely manor of Galecliff, perched high atop the chalk cliffs of Beachy Head. Chaperoned by her brother, she soon discovers that the ancient prophecy of Saunmoor has followed her here—and the vampire, Vaela, is not the only one watching.
As black storms gather, love and danger entwine. In London, the lovelorn Mr. Arkwright—unable to forget her—is drawn back into her orbit, while a ruthless order of vampire hunters led by Lord Dramen sets its sights upon Emelyn's home of Hastelbrook. A dark force, older even than the vampire queen, is rising, and Emelyn must uncover the truth buried beneath her ancestral vault before the night consumes them all.
Emelyn Morley and the House of Galecliff is the second novel in B. Lawson Hull’s Saunmoor Gothic Saga—a sweeping tale of passion, betrayal, and immortality for fans of Deborah Harkness, Susanna Clarke, and Jane Austen at her darkest.
