"Thorne House has been awakened, and malevolence has returned to its rightful place." In the shadowy and unsettling town of Maplewood, Maine, history refuses to remain concealed. Three decades prior, the Mayfield covenant of witches and warlocks wielded their pervasive darkness over the community, their control only severed by a violent insurrection led by the mysterious 'Secret Six'.
This uprising purportedly eradicated the coven, or so the townsfolk believed. However, Thorne House—an abode of untold atrocities—has long awaited its moment of reckoning, and now, vengeance is at hand. As the circumstances evolve, the burgeoning supernatural abilities of Thorne House did not account for the arrival of the 'Ashbourne Twins', Jenny and Nicholas.
Their sixteenth birthday looms, heralding their emergence as a formidable witch and warlock, yet they remain oblivious to the perilous and enigmatic events that ensue, including a series of gruesome murders that plunge their existence into chaos. This turmoil is rooted in a single secret: one that pertains to their concealed heritage and true familial connections, as they navigate life under the assumed identity of the 'Rickman' family. Much like the past, the truth remains insidiously unburied.
£5.39
The Rickman family arrives in Maplewood in pursuit of a new beginning; however, their intended refuge quickly transforms into a harrowing ordeal upon their arrival at Thorne House.
The residence awakens with malevolent energy, feeding off Jenny while simultaneously preparing for the resurgence of the Mayfield Covenant. In this sinister scheme, a terrifying, demonic entity known as the “Ferryman” is unleashed to instil fear within the community, extracting souls to restore balance with the underworld and facilitating the impending horror.
The Covenant is resolutely determined to resurrect Teddy Mayfield, a formidable and morally compromised demon-warlock, thereby igniting a sequence of events that will lead to catastrophe. As the tranquillity of Maplewood is shattered by the brutal murder of Kirsty Hollings, the townspeople are plunged into a state of dread, confronted with the spectre of the past looming over their once peaceful environment.
Hidden secrets gradually surface, compelling the original group colloquially known as the ‘secret six’ to make critical decisions that hold the potential to either save or doom the community. The Rickmans swiftly comprehend that they are ensnared in an escalating nightmare, with Jenny and Nicholas's burgeoning powers inextricably linked to the malevolence enveloping the house.
Yet, they are not isolated in this struggle; three courageous teenagers ally with the twins, forging a formidable coalition against the encroaching darkness. Together, they must unravel the mysteries surrounding the house, the Ferryman, and the ominous agenda that threatens to obliterate their town.
£13.99
Guided by their enigmatic grandmother, Nanna Rickman—whose ties to the supernatural are more profound than she reveals—the twins arrive at a chilling realisation: their family's history is substantially darker than they ever conceived. The unsettling truths surrounding their lineage are brought to light.
The Ashbourne name boasts a long and formidable heritage, entrenched in historical significance and entwined with malevolent forces. As the insatiable thirst of the house intensifies, the teenagers assume the mantle of the 'new secret six', fully aware that they must confront the looming evil or risk permitting darkness, long dormant, to engulf their town. The destiny of Maplewood—and the ongoing struggle between light and shadow—rests squarely upon their shoulders.
"The Darkness of Thorne House" marks the compelling inaugural entry in The Maplewood Horrors Series. It masterfully intertwines supernatural suspense with unsettling revelations and an urgent fight for survival.
This novel is ideally suited for enthusiasts of Stephen King and Shirley Jackson, presenting a haunting narrative that unveils a saga of terror, bravery, and the relentless battle against evil. The house is now alert. The Ferryman awaits. And the saga of the Ashbourne twins is merely the beginning.
