Ashes and RosesThe first heartbeat came to Henry Calloway on a Tuesday in October, in Pere Lachaise Cemetery, Paris, while he was sitting on a bench that had belonged to someone who had been dead for a hundred years and did not mind sharing it with a stranger who could not hear the traffic on the boulevard. Henry was twenty-eight years old and his ears sounded like they were underwater. The artillery at the...0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 59 Views 0 Vista previa

Black Roses and White CrowsIsabella Winterbourne was nineteen when she first discovered that her sisters were dreaming the same dream. It began on a Tuesday in October, the kind of London night when the fog rolled off the Thames and swallowed the streets whole. Isabella had been woken by a noise—soft, almost musical, like someone whispering in another room. She followed the sound upstairs to Cecilia's bedroom door, which...0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 47 Views 0 Vista previa

Black Roses and White CrowsI. Isabella Winterbourne was nineteen when she first understood that her sisters were dreaming the same dream. It happened on a Thursday in November, in the Winterbourne townhouse on Grosvenor Square, London. The house was filled with objects that had no business being in a Victorian gentleman's home: Egyptian scarabs, Persian carpets, Chinese porcelain, and three black jade rings that their...0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 66 Views 0 Vista previa

Blood and White RosesThe rose garden at Thornwood Manor had not been tended in three years. White roses grew wild and tangled, their stems thick as wrists, their blooms fat and pale as moonlight. They were beautiful, in the way that decay can be beautiful when you stand far enough away from the rot. Caleb Thornwood stood at the edge of the garden and watched the Mississippi move past the estate, a brown ribbon...0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 54 Views 0 Vista previa

Elegy of Ice and RosesThe summons arrived on a Tuesday, delivered by a man in a charcoal suit who smelled of expensive tobacco and impatience. Arthur Winchester read it by the gaslight of his Mayfair study, his fingers tracing the embossed seal of the Royal Social Experiment Committee. "We Married" was to be the season's most ambitious undertaking—a matchmaking program funded by London's elite, designed to pair...0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 38 Views 0 Vista previa

Jazz and RosesThe fire started at midnight, as fires always do in the Southquietly at first, then all at once, as though the whole house had made a single, furious decision. Clara Beaumont felt the heat before she saw the flames, a wall of orange pressing against her bedroom window like something alive, and when she opened her eyes she was sitting in her chaise longue at the debutante ball, silk around her...0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 63 Views 0 Vista previa

Roses in the AshesI Arthur Pendelton stood before the iron furnace in the basement of the British Museum with the kind of reverence usually reserved for altars. The brass nozzle of his kerosene sprayer lay across his shoulders like the neck of some great copper serpent. Around him, a pallet of books waited in neat stacks, their spines cracked with age, their pages yellowed to the colour of old teeth. Above, the...0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 40 Views 0 Vista previa

The Distant GardenThe Distant Garden I learned the truth about my father's garden on the morning he stopped breathing. The house on Harrow Lane had always smelled of damp earth and something older—something like incense left to burn out over decades, like the last embers of a fire someone thought would never go cold. I was twenty-six, fresh out of the Metropolitan Police Academy, and I had come home to sort...0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 2 Views 0 Vista previa

The Wistful PetalThe Wistful Petal by Edmund Whitfield The garden at the end of the world was not grand — it was small, defiant, a pocket of green pressed between the railway's iron ribs and the wall of a house that had forgotten its own name. Sebastian Vale tended it the way some men pray: with hands that knew exactly when to press and when to let be. He had not always been a gardener. Once he had been a man...0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 67 Views 0 Vista previa
