Mother says I'm strange. After hiding me away in a school for twelve years, her new husband wants me home. To be a family. Out in the middle of nowhere, the Blackwell family's stone mansion stands tall. Heron Mill is hidden, tucked away deep in the forest, surrounded by nothing but trees. Something nefarious hides here. A sinister secret decaying in its basement. And then there's him. My new stepbrother is unusual. The things he does, different. His behaviour, curious. The way his dark eyes watch me from the shadows when he thinks I don't notice, unnatural. Wrong. I can feel the darkness inside of him, cold and vicious.

It started when I was just a boy. My obsession. An inheritance the men in my family seem to be gifted, one that feels a lot like a disease. It was love at first sight. Hair the colour of fire, eyes crafted of the deepest jade. I was captivated by her instantly, enthralled, but it was not meant to be, our worlds were already vastly different. Destinies not meant to intertwine. My family worked for people like her, they didn't marry them. The Princess of the Irish Mob. The eldest son of The Firm's disposal crew. So, I grew up, I moved on, and I spent long nights in bars drowning dangerous thoughts of her. But, it seems, with time, things can change. One night, one debt, one single game of cards. And in a sick twist of fate, a treasure that should never be mine was suddenly within my grasp.

Obsession. As a Blackwell, it’s my curse. It lives in all five of my brothers. Two hearts thriving with it, three of them rotting, but I didn’t believe in it. Didn’t want to believe that it would latch itself onto me, sink its claws bone deep and never let go. Until I meet her. Suddenly, my whole world shifts, my focus is her and only her, and I won’t stop until she’s mine. Then, all too quickly, she’s gone. Stolen away from me in the night, my heart is in pieces. Rain. Blood. Coffin. But I won’t give up. I’ll fight to bring her back to me, uncover her past, and hunt the people that hurt her. Can I defeat the monsters that haunt her, or will I end up being the worst monster of them all? Cardinal House is a dark gothic MF romance featuring Wolf Blackwell. Cardinal House can be read as a standalone, but for maximum enjoyment I recommend you read the entire series in order.
