The Masters of Blackwood Manor

Thorne Grimm

About

When I accept a position as a live-in archivist at the remote Blackwood Manor, I'm desperate to escape my past. The manor's masters are two enigmatic brothers, the charming Julian and the brooding, silent Cassian. They are night and day, but they share the same unnerving, possessive gaze. They tell me the history of the manor is my only concern, but I soon realize I am the one being studied. They play games with my mind, appearing in my room at night, their intentions unclear, their touches blurring the line between threat and seduction. The house itself seems to be their accomplice, its shadows hiding their movements, its locked doors trapping me in their web. I don't know if I am a guest or a prisoner, but I know I am becoming the shared obsession of the masters of the manor.
