THOROUGHLY DISENCHANTED
Winner of the Aurealis Award for Best Fantasy Novel 2024
Four friends. A cursed country house. And a weekend away that has lasted a century.
A hundred years ago, Genevieve and Oliver spent a lovely weekend together at Riverswood manor.
They’re still there.
Blessed with immortality but trapped for eternity, the two former lovers are now completely tired of one another’s company. Then, one dark and stormy night, Ella arrives; a stranger with a cheery disposition and a secret that could be the key to their salvation.
With the help of Ella and the return of their best friend, Fionn, the four learn more about Riverswood’s tangled history. If they can come to terms with their own feelings, and the truth that has kept them locked away, they might stand a chance at breaking this curse. True love certainly hasn’t worked.
