Cape Carnage is blooming with secrets, and they're ready to harvest. But every time Nolan Rhodes digs one up, another grows in its place. Harper isn't who he thought she was. Arthur might be more sinister than he first thought. And Sheriff Yates? The man is everywhere he turns. When true crime fanatics descend on the town looking for answers about the death of their leader, Nolan finds himself at the centre of a search and rescue operation for missing people he knows are already dead.

Harper Starling has risked everything to bury her trauma in Cape Carnage. But now that Nolan has unearthed her past, her whole life seems ready to break apart. And who can she trust? The enigmatic man she's falling in love with? He came to kill her. The serial killer mentor she's vowed to protect? He's become an unpredictable menace. The woman in the mirror? She might be the most dangerous of all.
Loyalties are tested. Bonds are bent to a breaking point. And love? That might be the deadliest trap of all.

The Seasons of Carnage Trilogy
4 books in catalog
Blending dark comedy, romantic suspense, and horror elements, dark romance novels have reached massive global audiences through viral reader recommendations and bestselling series such as the Ruinous Love Trilogy. Author Brynne Weaver gained international prominence with her 2023 novel Butcher & Blackbird, which introduced a unique combination of irreverent humor, serial-killer lore, and romantic intrigue.
With over five million copies sold worldwide across more than twenty-five countries, Weaver has established a major presence in contemporary genre fiction. Her stories center on high-stakes emotional dynamics, dark comedic timing, and deeply human vulnerabilities across both standalone titles and multi-book romantic arcs.
Weaver began writing during early childhood and completed several full-length manuscript drafts by hand as a teenager. Before turning to publishing full-time, her background encompassed work in neuroscience laboratories, where her curiosity regarding forensics and human behavior began to inform her narrative concepts. In 2021, she published her debut fantasy romance, The Diviner, before launching her paranormal dark romantic comedy series, the Shadow Realm trilogy, starting with A Shadow In The Reaping. She subsequently co-authored two standalone novels, Black Sheep and Marrow, expanding her scope across dark romance and horror-infused subgenres.
Her mainstream breakthrough arrived in 2023 with the release of Butcher & Blackbird, the opening entry in her Ruinous Love Trilogy. The novel achieved viral popularity on BookTok and climbed international bestseller lists. She followed this success with the 2024 sequel Leather & Lark, which debuted at number one on the New York Times bestseller list, and concluded the trilogy in 2025 with Scythe & Sparrow. Weaver continues to expand her catalog with further projects, including Harvest Season.
Weaver's writing style is defined by a distinct combination of sharp humor, visceral suspense, and intense romantic tension. A primary goal in her creative work is crafting female-focused stories about complex, resilient, imperfect characters who struggle with anger, trauma, fear, courage, and love. Drawing on her interest in horror, dark comedies, and behavioral science, she builds narratives where morally ambiguous protagonists navigate severe personal trauma and physical danger while developing profound emotional connections.
