CHATEAU REVERIE

A Novel

A breathtaking and sweeping romantic historical fantasy, in which attendees of a magical auction must bid secrets in exchange for their greatest desires.

Reverie and Sons humbly requests your attendance at THE AUCTION OF SECRETS.

Genevieve de Vienne does not remember the journey to the Chateau Reverie. She only remembers receiving her invitation to the Auction of Secrets, writing upon it her greatest desire—to forget the woman she once loved—and setting it aflame.

Leander Sterne does not remember a life outside of the Chateau Reverie. When he receives his own invitation, he does not have any secrets to bid, but his greatest desire—his liberty—is worth risking everything. He has nothing to lose, except his heart.

Alongside five fellow attendees, Leander and Genevieve must survive three nights in the Chateau in order to bid their secrets and their hearts’ desire. But the Chateau has a mind of its own. As guests begin to disappear and Leander and Genevieve become more and more entangled, it becomes clear that the rules of the Auction might not be in anyone’s favor…and even those who win might not be allowed to leave. 

Written in transportive, lush prose and set amidst the final days of the French Revolution, Chateau Reverie is a rococo fairy-tale full of horrors and wonders: both a sweeping romance and a twisting speculative mystery.
