Clio Farren is a bride in pursuit of the perfect venue for her wedding. More than that, she’s searching for answers concerning her best friend’s sudden death a year ago. She believes Raðljóst Manor holds the key to figuring it out. When Clio shuts herself in with the owner during an Arctic freeze, she unravels more secrets than she expected to in both Nikolai’s manor and mind. 

​

Nikolai Trousseau is an unlucky soul, bound to Earth for eternity after drinking a noxious tea millennia ago. He runs a hotel in the Arctic, where polar night liberates him three months each year. With his stash of demon blood running out and a beautiful, uniquely-scented woman poking around his manor, he may discover more thrumming through her veins than he

bargained for.

Dear Reader,

Beneath the Bloody Aurora is a fictitious representation of the religious trauma and other abuse I experienced (and often witnessed) in my formative years. As such, there are themes explored in the story that may be sensitive to some readers. I have listed them below (spoiler warning). My hope is that this story makes those who have gone through similar experiences feel seen and understood, but please…

don’t hesitate to put your mental well-being first. 

​

Much love, 

Beka
