Château Valmont and An Inheritance of Thirst

Château Valmont and An Inheritance of Thirst is the second book in Briar Somerset's Gothic paranormal romance series My Darling Malady, following the series-opening novella Beecham's Infirmary for the Affluent Afflicted.

The publisher's description places the story in Second Republic France, where Jacques brings Annie and her grandmother after leaving Victorian London, and where his first days as a newly turned vampire meet the house and the family curse he grew up with.

The book is announced for 15 September 2026. Further details, including the page count and ISBN, have not been released, and an audiobook with duet narration has been said to follow.
