Boston, 1834. Lord William Ashcombe's fortune is gone, his family disgraced and his last hope lies in a secret gaming room where wagers are whispered in blood, not coin. There, he meets a broken man from Louisiana and the object that binds their fates: a mirror born of the Salem witch trials, now awakened and hungry. From Boston's counting houses to the voodoo-soaked bayous of the American South, Ashcombe must reckon with the horrifying truth that every debt demands payment.
and some accounts are written in flesh. A Game of Fortune is a standalone novel in The Blackwood Journals, a Southern Gothic tale of ambition, guilt, and supernatural justice. For readers of The Haunting of Hill House, Beloved, and Interview with the Vampire, this is a tale where mirrors remember everything, and the price of survival is never paid in coin.
