Madlen’s Lament (A Sugar Hill Novella)
By M.L. Bullock
In the shadowed halls of Sugar Hill, where the past whispers through the live oaks, a desperate escape unfolds in the sultry summer of 1839. Madlen Auer, a young Austrian governess, flees the sinister grip of Thorn Hill with the innocent Devon Dufresne in her arms, seeking refuge at the cursed estate of Sugar Hill. But the darkness she escapes is nothing compared to the malevolent force that awaits her—a vengeful spirit known as Ambrose, whose tendrils of betrayal have ensnared the Dufresne family for generations.
As Madlen uncovers the chilling secrets of the Dufresne brothers, Dominick and Champion, she faces a harrowing choice: protect the child at all costs or confront the evil that threatens to consume them both. In the present day, Avery Dufresne discovers Madlen’s journal, unearthing a legacy of sorrow that intertwines with her own. Together, across the centuries, Madlen and Avery must unravel the mystery of Ambrose’s curse before it claims another soul.
Madlen’s Lament is a gripping Southern Gothic novella that weaves historical drama with supernatural suspense, revealing the untold stories of those caught in the Dufresne family’s haunted legacy. Perfect for fans of ghostly mysteries and the eerie charm of the Deep South, this tale will linger long after the final page.
