Beneath the shadowed oaks, the past demands its due.
When disgraced journalist Vanessa Reed receives a cryptic summons to Oak Alley Plantation, she sees a chance to reclaim her shattered reputation—until the whispers in the wind and the flicker of a veiled figure reveal a darker purpose.
The Ghost Bride, a spectral remnant of a wedding drowned in betrayal, haunts the Louisiana estate, and her restless gaze is fixed on Vanessa. To unravel the bride's curse, Vanessa must confront her own buried sins: a botched exposé that cost lives and branded her a liar.
Redemption comes at a price—and the plantation's shadows are hungry.
Enter Luna, pulled into the fray by a bond she can't escape. As Vanessa's fiercely loyal ally—or perhaps her skeptical mirror—Luna's own secrets tangle with the bride's mournful wrath. Together, they face creaking halls, vengeful spirits, and a bayou alive with eerie murmurs, racing to unearth a truth that spans centuries.
Is the Ghost Bride a victim seeking justice, or a force bent on dragging them into her eternal despair? In Vacherie's humid grip, where oaks claw the sky and history bleeds through the soil, Vanessa and Luna must decide: bury the past or be buried by it.
Perfect for fans of Southern Gothic chills and supernatural suspense, The Ghost Bride of Oak Alley delivers a haunting new chapter in the Delta Hex series—where every step toward salvation stirs the restless dead.
