The Lantern at Rosewharf

Book 1 of The Rosewharf Chronicles: A Cozy Gothic Mystery

De: Stella Marlowe

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Clara Wren thought she was moving to a quiet seaside village to run an apothecary. Instead, she’s inherited a mystery.

The people of Rosewharf whisper about the Lantern that burns in the headland lighthouse—an ancient light that remembers names, marks tallies in the fog, and demands silence from its keepers. Jonas Marlowe, scarred and taciturn, has tended it for years—like generations of Marlowes before him, bound by a vow that costs more than it saves.

He tells Clara the rule is simple: When the Lantern saves, you keep it burning. When it claims the living, you turn away.

But storms are rising, and a secretive group of locals called Safe Harbor wants the Lantern’s power for themselves.

Blending folklore, quiet romance, and gothic suspense, The Lantern at Rosewharf is a cosy yet unsettling tale that will leave you listening for whispers in the wind.

When the storms burst and the Lantern’s hunger grows, Clara and Jonas must choose: resist the ancient bargain, or surrender to it—and each other.

A tale of whispered folklore, quiet romance, and a village caught between the cosy and the uncanny, The Lantern at Rosewharf will draw you into its glow and leave you listening for the tide.

The Lantern at Rosewharf begins The Rosewharf Chronicles, a cosy gothic trilogy of folklore, romance, and village mystery. Next: The Bell at Brackenwood. Then: The Clock at Wintermere.
