A Gothic Paranormal Monster RomancBy Winona Coleman
Length2h 25m
About this audiobook
Rare-books librarian Clara Vale believes in archives, evidence, and the quiet comfort of old pages, not curses watching from rooftops. Then a storm at Ashborne Library awakens Kael, a gargoyle guardian trapped in stone for centuries and accused of a betrayal he cannot fully remember.
Kael was made to protect the city from the darkness beneath it, but history has turned him into a monster and buried the truth of his sacrifice. When Clara discovers missing records, hidden vaults, and a magical seal beginning to crack, she realizes the library has been guarding more than books.
To save Ashborne, Clara must uncover what really happened centuries ago, while Kael must decide whether to trust the woman who carries the face of his past. Tender, mysterious, and atmospheric, *The Stone Guardian of Ashborne Library* is a clean gothic paranormal romance with a protective gargoyle hero, a brave bookish heroine, ancient magic, slow-burn longing, and a guaranteed happy ending.
