Gothic fantasy and slow-burn romance meet in Weavingshaw, a world where ghosts have secrets, demons have agendas, and even the dead may have unfinished business. At its center is Leena Al-Sayer, a young woman who has been able to see the dead since she was seventeen, a gift she has learned to keep hidden. When her brother Rami falls dangerously ill and she needs money for his medicine, she turns to Saint Silas, the mysterious Saint of Silence, who makes his living trading in people's darkest confessions.
Silas sees something unusual in Leena's secret and offers her a dangerous bargain. Rather than simply buying what she knows, he sends her searching for the ghost of Percival Avon, the last lord of Weavingshaw. Their investigation leads them across bleak moors to the cursed estate itself, where the supernatural is woven into the history of the house and the land seems to demand sacrifices of its own. What begins as an exchange between a desperate woman and a dangerous stranger gradually becomes a much deeper entanglement.
The relationship between Leena and Silas unfolds slowly, shaped by distrust, attraction, and the knowledge that neither has revealed everything. Around them, the world is changing. Industrialization is reshaping society, workers are rising against exploitation, and poverty, imprisonment, imperialism, and displacement provide a darker reality beneath the ghosts and demons. The supernatural horrors are unsettling, but the human systems that allow people to be discarded can be just as frightening.
As the story expands beyond its haunted estate, the series brings together gothic romance, dark fantasy, supernatural mystery, and political tension without allowing any one element to overwhelm the others. Leena's struggle is both intimate and deeply personal, rooted in family, survival, and the burden of a power she never asked for.
The first novel quickly established the series as a major new presence in gothic romantasy, becoming an instant #1 Sunday Times bestseller and earning attention from publications including The New York Times and The Washington Post. With its cursed moors, morally complicated characters, ghostly mysteries, and simmering romance, the series offers a darker kind of fantasy, one where the most dangerous secrets may belong not to the dead, but to the living.
Weavingshaw consists of one book and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
