The dead don't feed on the living. The living don't carry torches up the hill. It's a peace built on silence — until now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eHerbalist Elara Voss has spent two years watching Gideon Ashworth, the manor's centuries-old steward, invent reasons to visit her shop three evenings a week, neither of them willing to name what's grown between them. But Elara isn't the only one waiting: Thomas, her childhood friend, has loved her for years and never found the courage to say so, while Julian — Gideon's reckless, hungry-hearted creation — has decided he's done waiting altogether.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eInto this fragile balance walks a stranger with too many knives and a scar he won't explain — a man who has watched an arrangement like Hollowmere's collapse once before, and has come looking for the cracks in this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA slow-burn gothic romance of old love, older rules, and the fire that starts when patience finally runs out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54533533172054,"sku":null,"price":7.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1043\/5303\/8678\/files\/Hollowmerepart1.png?v=1784745427","url":"https:\/\/spicyreading.com\/products\/hollowmere-part-1","provider":"Spicyreading","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
