She is known as the Belle of Brighton. In Georgian England of 1735, under every pressure to marry for wealth, and save her family's crumbling estate, Emelyn Morley comes upon a mysterious watcher in the dark, and learns there must be more to her life than domestic daylight.

Hastelbrook Hall, her family's ancestral home, long thought to be haunted or even cursed by village whispers, is threatened. Caught between the duty to her family name, and the encroaching world of night, Emelyn discovers that centuries-old tales of Saunmoor, a silent hidden city ruled by its cold vampire queen, are more than myth, as by an ancient prophecy she finds herself bound to the fate of mortals and immortals alike.

Emelyn Morley and the Waking Dark is historical supernatural fiction. This is the first book of B. Lawson Hull's Saunmoor series, an immersive saga of dark intrigue, harrowing drama and social politics, well seasoned with period flavour, romance, warmth and wit.
