#PosterPit #W #NA #F #R #PiratesWIP During her world tour, Captain Holloway is captured by pirates. After encountering an assassination plot, a magical curse, an unlikely romance, and an imminent war, she finally takes a side. The wrong side. It's all Captain Falcon's fault.

The text in the image reads: "Magic, mutiny, romance, and a six-month deadline. What could possibly go wrong?" "Dual POVs, sentient oceans, vengeful ghosts, magical curses, enemies to lovers, and lovers to enemies." "He has a curse to break. She has everything to prove." "Sail By Dawn, a new-adult fantasy novel by award winning author E. M. Kerkman." The background image is of a sailing ship on a stormy sea with dawn light shining from behind it. It is a paining titled "Bird of Dawn" by Montague Dawson.

After returning to her family’s crumbling estate and finding the gardener dead, a reluctant heiress partners with his son to break a generational curse before it claims her too. 🕯 Gaslight, Gatekeep, Ghosts 🔥 If the House Doesn’t Kill You, Love Might #LuckyPit #PopUpPitA #PopUpPit #H #A #Gothic

Nineteen-year-old Lottie Bradbury is called home to her crumbling family estate with an ultimatum: marry or let the Bradbury name die. But in a post-war world where old traditions are crumbling and women are claiming new independence, Lottie refuses to be controlled.

Her introduction is disrupted when the gardener is found dead, his skull shattered on the manor steps. His son, Arthur, warns Lottie that the house is hungry, that it killed his father—just as it did her mother a decade ago. And it’s not finished.

Determined to seize control of her own fate, Lottie digs into the manor’s past, only to realize the house has other plans. Strange footsteps at night. Whispers slithering through the halls. Shadows shifting where none should be. Arthur insists the manor is alive, feeding on the sins of her ancestors, that her family is cursed. But he’s not the only one keeping secrets, and the deeper she digs, the harder it is to know who to trust.

THE LAST HEIR OF BRADBURY MANOR is a slow-burn gothic horror set in 1919, blending the creeping dread of The Hacienda with the sentient menace of Starling House. A tale of inheritance, obsession, and a house that refuses to let go. The manuscript is complete at 96,000 words.

Comps for The Last Heir of Bradbury Manor:

Starling House: Dark inheritance, Family secrets, Sentient house

The Hacienda: Unresolved grief, Psychological unraveling, Supernatural dread

Crimson Peak: Decaying grandeur, Gothic vibes

A mood board for The Last Heir of Bradbury Manor with...

A decaying, messed up sitting room
A spooky staincase with a girl walking
A girl climbing out of a well
A book on fire
A cozy Edwardian dinner party
A spooky gothic dinner party

Text that reads: breaking the curse means losing him forever. Embracing it may damn her soul

Tropes for The Last Heir of Bradbury Manor

💀 Generational Blood Curse
🕯 Gaslight, Gatekeep, Ghosts
