The Golden Yew

What if the walls of a house remembered everything… even what its owners tried to bury?

Arthur Trelawney is a rising star in London's elite architectural world-until his career collapses overnight. Summoned back to his ancestral home on the windswept coast of Cornwall, he plans only a brief return: settle the estate, sell the manor, and leave the past behind.

But Trelawney Manor has other plans.

Inside the decaying granite walls, Arthur discovers a collection of cassette tapes left by his late grandmother-each one a fragment of a hidden history. What begins as curiosity quickly becomes obsession, as he uncovers architectural anomalies, sealed rooms, and a buried legacy tied to a long-forgotten mining fortune.

At the heart of it all stands an ancient yew tree-and a haunting legend of a golden fruit that appears only when a debt demands to be paid.

As Arthur descends deeper into the house's secrets, he is forced to confront a chilling truth: his family's wealth was built on betrayal, and the structure he has always trusted-logic, control, design-may not be enough to contain what lies beneath.

The Golden Yew is a haunting Gothic psychological thriller blending architectural mystery, family secrets, and atmospheric suspense. Perfect for readers who love dark academia, slow-burn mysteries, and morally complex storytelling, this novel explores how the past is never truly buried-it is built into the very foundations of who we are.
