Belladonna: bestselling gothic fantasy romance

Product Information

Signa learns that Elijah is set to inherit quite a lot of money from his father. His business isn’t doing well, and he seems to have some issues with his brother, Byron. Charlotte and Diana give Signa all the gossip. At the start of the book, Signa is sure she wants to be a married society woman and is in denial of her powers to see ghosts and communicate with Death. But to show compassion to her new family and help save them, she needs to use those powers and confront her fears about who she really is. On the negative side, Signa engages in self-destructive behavior when she consumes belladonna so she can see Death (because of her powers, it won't kill her). Percy tries to kill Signa but he stabs her in the shoulder instead when Sylas shoves her out of the way.
