A Queer Gothic Love Story of Ghosts and Mercy
Lucien Morel’s quiet life at St Aubin’s Rest unravels when a young man begins appearing among the stones after a burial that should have ended in silence.
As caretaker of a forgotten cemetery above Pontarçon, Lucien is accustomed to solitude. But the arrival of a troubled artist—carrying secrets he barely understands—pulls Lucien into a fragile connection that stirs the mercy he rarely offers himself. Within the graveyard’s crumbling walls, memories linger, the past refuses to settle, and the bond between them becomes both solace and reckoning.
