The Midnight Feast: A Pact Sealed in Blood A blood-soaked truce. A cursed feast. A darkness that demands more than peace. For centuries, the Darringtons and the Paxtons have bled over a single mountain pass, their blood feud etching a scar on the land and their souls. Exhausted by war, they agree to a fragile peace treaty-a pact forged in ink, not trust-sealed over a midnight feast in a castle that remembers every slain soul. Lord Maximilian Darrington, a man scarred by loss, finds his resolve tested when his sworn enemy, Lady Patience Paxton, dares to meet his gaze with a defiance that sparks a treacherous fire. But the feast is a lie, and the true guest of honor is a vengeful ghost from Raven's Pass, a spirit of retribution summoned by a lie buried deep in their shared history. The ghost of Ser Gareth accuses their forefathers of a shared, sinister crime: a pact with malevolent mountain wraiths, sealed in blood and betrayal, to poison the mines and claim their spoils. Now, the ghost offers a terrible choice: uncover the signet ring that holds the proof of their ancestors' crime before dawn, or share his tomb forever. The curse that chills Maximilian to the bone leaves Patience untouched, revealing a hidden, ancient magic in her veins that makes her both the key to their survival and the most dangerous woman he's ever met. Forced into an uneasy alliance, Maximilian and Patience must journey into the haunted depths of Raven's Pass, where the air is thick with the scent of old blood and the ghosts of their past. The only way to survive is to trust each other, to rely on the forbidden, dark power that hums between them-a desperate, undeniable heat that threatens to ignite a far more dangerous conflict than any war. But the real enemy is not the ghost, but the truth they will find buried in the mountain-a truth that will bind them in a way a treaty never could. The Midnight Feast: A Pact Sealed in Blood is a story of a forced alliance, a shared curse, and a lust that burns hotter than any forge. Perfect for readers who crave the gothic feel of crumbling castles and ancient curses, the rich history of a war-torn kingdom, and the deep emotional connection where enemies become allies and passion is a pact sealed in blood. Will they save their families from a centuries-old lie, or will they succumb to the forbidden love that can only be found with the one person they were sworn to hate?
