In the silent dining room of Blackwood Manor, the Voltaire family is having dinner. They will have this same dinner, together, forever. Father is now marble, his hand fused to his wine glass. Mother is a beautiful corpse blooming with wisteria. One brother hums with the hive living in his chest, and a sister's grief has been transformed into agonizing, living crystal. This is the masterpiece of Elara, the self-appointed Gardener, who used an ancient, forbidden alchemy to preserve her family in a state of monstrous eternity out of a love too fierce to let go.
But the story doesn't end in that silent room. It echoes through centuries. When a curious researcher breaches the manor's sealed walls, he discovers the terrible truth: the family is not just preserved, but conscious, trapped in an endless scream behind their beautiful shells. He becomes the first to learn that the power Elara wielded is not confined to Blackwood-it is a seductive idea, a recipe for eternity that can be rediscovered, replicated, and evolved.
From the Gothic horror of the manor, the narrative explodes into a secret war across time, following the descendants of both the family and their would-be saviors. This battle plays out in digital realms, in modern cities, and in the human heart itself, as new "Gardeners" arise-a biochemist seeking immortality, a programmer building a digital heaven, a Systematist architect of silence-each offering a different path to escape the pain of being human.
The Last Supper is a breathtakingly ambitious Gothic epic that is also a profound philosophical thriller. It's a story about the terrifying beauty of love, the addiction to permanence in an impermanent world, and the eternal war between those who would preserve us in beautiful, silent cages and those who fight for the messy, painful, and precious right to change, to feel, and to end. If you ever wondered what would happen if the dark magic of We Have Always Lived in the Castle met the cosmic scope of Cloud Atlas, this is the book you've been waiting for.
