Song of Oestend by Marie Sexton blends Western atmosphere, paranormal danger, and slow-building gay romance on a remote frontier. When Aren Montrell accepts work as a bookkeeper at the isolated BarChi ranch, he expects dust and cattle, not lethal wraiths that stalk the prairie after dark or a house protected by wards and generators. Navigating strange livestock, a sharp-tongued blind matriarch, and his own unwanted status as the area’s most sought-after bachelor, Aren becomes the trusted confidant of Deacon, the ranch’s formidable foreman with buried Oestend roots. As their friendship deepens into something more intense and complex, Aren must confront both the supernatural threats outside and Deacon’s refusal to claim his heritage, in a story that weaves historical-feeling fantasy with BDSM-inflected, friends-to-lovers romance and hints of ménage.

Exiled from the BarChi ranch by the man he loves, Dante Pane struggles to manage a death-haunted property, unruly ranch hands, and a strong-willed cook who disrupts his isolation. As eerie weather, mysterious voices, and unexplained animal deaths spread across the prairie, Dante realizes the threat extends far beyond his land. Supported by loyal workers Frances and Simon and a circle of allies, he must confront both supernatural forces and his own fears about desire, loyalty, and love, in a story that weaves BDSM elements, friends-to-lovers tension, and ménage dynamics into a broader fight for survival.
