Songbird In The Gallows

Songbird in the Gallows by Brynne Weaver is a dark romance with a gothic edge, blending murder mystery, forbidden love and razor-sharp dark humour into something deliciously unsettling. After witnessing her father’s brutal murder, Saylor Mitchell has spent five years trying to survive the aftermath. When the people behind it come back to finish the job, she’s rescued by Blue—her dad’s closest friend, a retired assassin determined to stay “murder-sober”. Safety, however, comes with strings attached, and Blue’s cliffside mansion in storm-lashed Grimlock is the kind of place where secrets have teeth. Saylor needs answers. Blue has skills. What begins as protection turns into training, and their chemistry quickly slides into obsession, threaded with possessiveness, forced proximity and an age gap that makes every choice feel dangerous. Perfect for readers who like morally grey leads, fairytale retellings, and high-spice gothic romance with an anti-hero at its centre. Step into Grimlock and see what’s waiting behind the locked doors.
