Bone Knuckles and the Rose Scavenger

Would you trade your soul for the truth?

Dahlia is the daughter of the notorious Ten Hearts Killer, her life overshadowed by the sensationalism following her father's cruelty: ripping the hearts out of his victims to preserve them. Numb with guilt, haunted by her father's deeds, and wondering if such desires might affect her in turn, Dahlia's life is overturned when she's given an enigmatic gift that leads to Paige, a woman desperate to uncover the identity of the serial killer's last mutilated victim. As Dahlia embarks on a journey to solve the mystery with Paige, eerie clues reveal the sinister truth about her childhood, thrusting her into a world far more violent and strange than she could ever imagine.

At the heart of it lies the enigmatic and slick-tongued Bone Knuckles, who guards more than the last victim's identity, forcing Dahlia to risk everything to navigate his house of blood and lies for the truth. As the malevolent Bone Knuckles strikes up a dance of dark magic, where betrayal haunts every corner, Dahlia soon realizes that the most terrifying monsters are those we confront within ourselves.

Sidebar- this isn't a romance, but does have a sapphic romantic sub plot to it. It deals more with survivors guilt, violence, past mistakes, haunted houses and is in essence horror book. It can be represented as queer and or sapphic for the MC and SC relationship.
