The Dark Mothers

<p><strong>THE DARK MOTHERS</strong></p><p>There is no escape from Gethsemane.</p><p>Summoned by a letter bearing a name she does not recognize yet somehow already knows Ruth-Ellen Blight arrives at the doorstep of Gethsemane House-an estate that does not merely endure time but bends it. The house has been waiting. The house has been calling her long before she could listen.</p><p>Eulalie Gethsemane Rawls has been expecting her.</p><p>In the Bible Gethsemane was the garden where Christ faced with an agony beyond human measure yielded to a will greater than his own. Here Gethsemane is no garden-it is a labyrinth a threshold a place where fate does not ask but <strong>takes its fill</strong>. What begins as a journey into the unknown becomes a ritual of recognition. The walls close in the air thickens with whispered rites and silent summons and Ruth-Ellen understands: she has not come to uncover a mystery. She has come to be claimed.</p><p><strong>Nothing short of total submission satisfies the Dark Mothers.</strong><br><strong>They take their fill.</strong><br><strong>What's theirs is theirs and what's yours is also theirs.</strong></p><p>A hypnotic descent into <strong>esoteric horror</strong> <em>The Dark Mothers</em> is a tale of submission and supernatural inevitability where lineage is fate and choice is an illusion.</p>
