You are officially part of the ARC Team for The Ashes of Summer — Book 2 of the Summer Duet. 😈
Welcome to Rosefield.
Things are about to get darker, more dangerous, and far more obsessive.
When The Ashes of Summer releases in October 2026, Jacob Darnell will be on a relentless manhunt, willing to burn the entire world down to find Summer. The secrets run deeper. The tension is sharper. And the obsession? Completely out of control. 🔥
Grief changed everything.
For Izzy, it twisted a once-happy life into something unrecognisable. The man she loved is slipping further away, replaced by anger, alcohol, and control. She tells herself it’s just a phase—that he’ll come back.
But deep down, she knows the truth.
When a chance encounter brings Charlie into her life—a man shaped by loss in his own way—Izzy begins to see what she’s been trying to ignore.
This isn’t love anymore.
But some endings don’t come quietly.
Some burn.
Raw, emotional, and gripping, this is a story about breaking cycles, reclaiming your voice, and finding strength when you feel like you have none left.
Because sometimes survival means starting again from the ashes.
TOne Halloween night. Seven contestants. Six rounds. How far is she willing to go to win?
For the last few years, I’ve been worn down to the bone. Rotting from the slow anguish of watching my mother decay right before my eyes.
I can't sit by while it devours her any longer.
So, when the devil comes knocking with an offer I can’t refuse—one night, seven contestants, and a prize dark enough to save her life—
I sign my name in blood.
Because desperation doesn't make you brave, it makes you stupid.
Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.
Now I’m trapped in a Victorian mansion, where the wealthy hide behind porcelain masks to watch people like me destroy each other for sport.
But the real danger isn’t the blood spilled inside these haunted walls.
It’s the masked devil who decides I’m his favorite prey.
One single taste of my fear and he becomes ravenous. A bloodthirsty monster who won’t stop until I’m caught, claimed, and utterly ruined.
Well, if it’s blood he’s after, I’ll make him choke on mine.
The October Trials is a dark romance with a gothic atmosphere, cult-like secret society, masked man, and horror elements some may find disturbing.
