A queer gothic retelling featuring sprayed edges, inspired by Nathaniel Hawthorne’s Rappaccini’s Daughter.
Cordelia Beecher is searching for answers. After fleeing the strict charity school where she was raised, she follows the trail of her missing brother to the quiet town of Farrow. But no one there seems to know him—or admits to it. With every lead disappearing, Cordelia is left isolated and running out of options.
Her path leads her to Edenfield, a grand estate owned by the mysterious Lady Evangeline. Known for offering refuge to vulnerable young women, Evangeline welcomes Cordelia into her home as both a maid and companion to her daughters, Prim and Briar. Within the estate’s walls, Cordelia finds a sense of belonging she has never known before, especially as her bond with Briar begins to deepen.
Yet something about Edenfield feels wrong. Beneath its beauty lies an unsettling tension, and Cordelia soon uncovers signs that her brother may have once been there. As she digs deeper, the truth becomes harder to ignore, and the estate’s secrets begin to surface.
Dark, atmospheric, and unsettling, this haunting retelling blends gothic horror with a story of identity, desire, and the search for truth.
