About this audiobook

"A chilling, addictive read with a powerful protagonist...Verdict: Get It!" - Kirkus Reviews She came to serve the rich. She awakened to burn them down. In the waning days of the Gilded Age, Irish immigrant Eve Kelly accepts a coveted position at Greythorne, a mansion built on wealth, excess, and ruthless power. Behind its glittering façade, the Rennard family preys on the vulnerable-especially the women who serve them. As Eve is drawn into the house's seductive, dangerous orbit-and into a forbidden intimacy with the daughter of the family-she begins to uncover a legacy of violence hidden beneath chandeliers and silk. But the house is not the only thing with a history. Something ancient stirs in Eve's blood-a power inherited from generations of women who survived by becoming something more than obedient. As predation tightens its grip, the servant they meant to consume becomes the reckoning they never saw coming. Pearl Bound is a gothic historical horror novel steeped in female rage, class tension, queer desire, and the terrifying cost of autonomy. Perfect for readers of dark horror such as The Lamb, Dark Sisters, A Dowry of Blood, and Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil.

About the author

Natalie G. Bergman writes the kind of stories she spent her youth searching for: queer women at the center, danger in the walls, longing in every room, and a past that refuses to stay buried. An award-winning screenwriter turned novelist, she builds worlds where beauty and brutality sit side by side and where the heroines carry both scars and fire.
