A heart-pounding supernatural adventure of ghastly proportions.
As a trained Antiquarian, Pyke is treated with a sort of scorn by most people for his Guild position, and as an Oddity he is treated with fear, or worse yet, contempt, by everybody that sees past the inauspicious symbol on his cloak. Unbothered by a seemingly lonely life, Pyke is a man on a very specific mission–to protect the Phoenix Kingdom from the dangers of long-dormant magic living in hidden relics. A thoughtful man with a past he can’t quite recall, Pyke is immediately taken with a spirited young woman named Jenna. Though he is unaccustomed to casual, friendly interactions with other people, Jenna is not put off by his personality shortcomings, his unique Oddment, or even his ominous position. Besides, in an unexpected display of gallantry, he saves her life, so Jenna agrees to lead Pyke to the Last Spellbound house to uncover its secrets. The truths found within the walls of this mysterious mansion will come at a cost, but who will be called upon to pay the ultimate price?
A labyrinthine dark fantasy novel brimming with suspense and danger, The Last Spellbound House is a story that any haunted-house mystery connoisseur needs to read! This unpretentious novel boasts stunning world building that is so intricate and immersive that you forget you’re reading a book rather than physically walking around the haunting space created by Samuel Simons. Not to be overlooked are the well developed characters breathing life into the imaginative story. With a constant companion that is either sarcastically honest or honestly sarcastic, Pyke’s sentient internal voice really steals the show with plenty of clever, cutting remarks. If all of this weren’t enough to love, the plot features the perfect amount of suspense, complex relationships between friend, Fiend and Fae, and a shocking ultimatum. For a heart-pounding supernatural adventure of ghastly proportions, The Last Spellbound House has enough thrills and chills to satisfy every magic lover!
