Book 1: The Circle of Witham Grange 

A ritual. A scream. A curse that reshapes the land.

The Circle of Witham Grange is the first story in The Continuance Cycle, a gothic series exploring the origins of a hereditary curse that binds the Dravelle and Hopton families for centuries.When Cecilia Hopton is led into the candlelit circle beneath Witham Grange, she believes she is taking part in a harmless ancestral rite. Instead, her final scream awakens three ancient spirits buried beneath the Somerset soil: Soil, which twists foundations and shifts the land itself; Blood, which demands sacrifice and binds lineage to pact; and Voice, which swallows grief until it becomes echo.As the thirteenth chair is placed at the edge of the circle, the pact is sealed — and the land begins to change. Paths realign. Shadows lengthen. The house listens.This opening tale reveals the moment the Continuance is born, setting in motion a cycle of hauntings, sacrifices, and shifting geography that will echo across generations. Every story that follows traces the widening reach of the curse, culminating in the debut novel. The Powers of St Katherine’s House.The Circle of Witham Grange is where the land first wakes — and where the Dravelle's and Hoptons lose the right to walk away.

E. L. Ravenheart

E. L. Ravenheart is a gothic fiction author whose work blends psychological depth, atmospheric tension, and the quiet, uncanny edges of the supernatural.

With roots in the Indigenous Chippewa Nation (USA), Ravenheart draws on a cultural inheritance rich in story, symbolism, and reverence for the unseen. This heritage infuses the work with a mythic undercurrent — where the natural world speaks, memory carries power, and the boundary between the living and the spirit realm is never absolute.

Relocating to the United Kingdom in 2012, Ravenheart now writes from Weston-super-Mare, where the haunted coastlines, ancient landscapes, and layered histories of Somerset intertwine with Indigenous storytelling traditions.

The result is a distinctive gothic voice shaped by two worlds: the ancestral and the adopted, the wild and the weathered, the remembered and the half-forgotten.

Ravenheart is developing a growing literary cycle that begins with six interconnected novellas and culminates in the debut novel, The Powers of St Katherine’s House. Across this cycle, the fiction explores liminal spaces — between memory and myth, faith and fear, identity and the unknown — crafting narratives where atmosphere becomes a character and the past presses insistently against the present.

When not writing, Ravenheart can often be found delving into the deep history and folklore of Somerset, a practice that echoes through the emotional intelligence and character-driven focus of the work.
