❖About the Author❖
The books do the haunting. Let them introduce me.
Placeholder biography — swap for the real one. Scotia Petkov writes gothic romance about the beautiful, ruinous things people refuse to let go of. The Saint’s End series began with a single image — a lamp still burning on an abandoned street — and grew into five interlocking novels about one cursed town and the souls who could not leave it.
Her work lives at the seam between devotion and destruction: saints who fall, lovers who cling, light kept burning long past the point of reason. If a story of hers has a thesis, it is that ruin and grace are often the same door, seen from different sides.
“I don’t write villains and heroes. I write people who loved something more than they should have, and what the loving cost them.”
She keeps her face out of her books on purpose. The characters of Saint’s End are the only likenesses she is willing to publish — and they, she insists, are far more honest than a photograph would be.
She is at work on what comes after the fall.
