Though Odette's artist mother Lydia keeps a tight grasp on her, she and her beloved Cecilia are mostly left free to roam, to learn, and to love. But when Lydia inexplicably sickens and dies, a dark veil falls over everything. As the funeral rites are performed, Odette's aunt — the cold and implacable Claudine — takes charge of the household, while Odette's father retreats to his study. Odette, lost in grief, disappears into the shadows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut as Claudine is announced as Odette's new stepmother, a sinister presence in the house makes itself known. To her horror, Odette realises that despite her death, Lydia never really left. And now she wants revenge. Inspired by Hamlet, the ultimate revenge tragedy, Rottenheart is a story of love and grief, mothers and daughters, death and madness — and a haunting that will not rest until justice is done.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy readers can't put it down:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🕰️ A sapphic gothic horror set in the atmospheric 1890s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🖤 A gender-swapped Hamlet retelling that turns the tragedy into something new and devastating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e👻 A ghost who never truly left — and the daughter who must answer her call\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🌹 Exquisitely written sapphic yearning woven through every page\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e❤️‍🔥 Praised by Taylor Jenkins Reid, Jennifer Saint, and Bea Fitzgerald\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect for readers who love:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003egothic horror · sapphic romance · Shakespeare retelling · Hamlet · historical fiction · ghost story · revenge · Kat Dunn · Hungerstone · Bitterthorn\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHer mother was dead.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBut she had not gone quietly.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e🖤 A Grief That Opens Into Something Darker\u003cbr\u003e🖤 A Stepmother Who Should Not Have That Power\u003cbr\u003e🖤 A Ghost Who Wants Justice\u003cbr\u003e🖤 A Love That Survives Even the Shadows\u003cbr\u003e🖤 A House That Holds Its Secrets Close\u003cbr\u003e🖤 A Daughter Who Must Choose Between Grief and Revenge\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt Dark Rose, we believe the most haunting stories are the ones where the dead refuse to be silent — and the living must decide whether to listen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e👤 \u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Age:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16+\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e⚠️ \u003cstrong\u003eContent Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDeath of a parent • Grief • Gothic horror • Supernatural elements • Psychological horror • Sapphic romance • Family trauma • Madness themes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e✨ \u003cstrong\u003eBest for readers who love:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGothic Horror • Sapphic Romance • Shakespeare Retellings • Ghost Stories • Historical Fiction • Revenge Narratives • Kat Dunn\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e⚠️ \u003cstrong\u003eProbably not for readers looking for:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLight reads • Contemporary settings • Happy-go-lucky romance • No supernatural elements\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Feed this directly into my veins.” — Taylor Jenkins Reid\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e“A darkly intoxicating and fierce sapphic retelling of Hamlet.
