Learn moreA lush, gothic fantasy from debut author Lyndall Clipstone about monsters and magic, set on the banks of a cursed lake, perfect for fans of Naomi Novik and Brigid Kemmerer.
When Violeta Graceling and her younger brother Arien arrive at the haunted Lakesedge estate, they expect to find a monster. Leta knows the terrifying rumors about Rowan Sylvanan, who drowned his entire family when he was a boy. But neither the estate nor the monster are what they seem.
As Leta falls for Rowan, she discovers he is bound to the Lord Under, the sinister death god lurking in the black waters of the lake. A creature to whom Leta is inexplicably drawn … Now, to save Rowan—and herself—Leta must confront the darkness in her past, including unraveling the mystery of her connection to the Lord Under.
Lyndall Clipstone is a former youth librarian who grew up running wild in the Barossa Ranges of South Australia. She currently lives in Adelaide, Australia, where she tends to her own indoor secret garden. Lakesedge is her debut novel. You can find her on Twitter and Instagram: @LKClipstone.
Emily Lawrence, an actor and writer, is passionate about bringing stories to life. She has narrated more than 425 audiobooks, many of which were USA Today or New York Times bestsellers, and has also worked in film, television, and theater.

Reviews
“A linguistically lush fantasy.”
“"Brooding and atmospheric.”
“Reminiscent of the romantically gothic atmosphere of The Phantom of the Opera.”
“Lakesedge drips with romance and mystery. It’s bloody, sumptuous, and as timeless as a fairy tale.”
“An intense tale of mystery and magic that will have lovers of gothic romance eager for the next installment.”
“Full of dark waters, family curses, summer bonfires, lakeside summoning rituals, weary boys with monsters inside them, and gods of death who don’t play fair.”
“Clipstone’s gothic fantasy has nods to ‘Beauty and the Beast’ and the myth of Persephone…in the layered drama and romance… Brooding and atmospheric.”
“A shadow-drenched fairy tale that readers will happily devour. Lyndall Clipstone’s lush prose lends itself to a world both dark and elegant, brimming with monsters and a young woman brave enough to face them.”
