Thornhill House
The Embroidered Book + Starling House
A gay, Cinderella-inspired historical fantasy novel with a magical gothic house at its heart.
Charles Summerhaven is the penniless, half-fae ward of the Bramley family, who live in a manor attached to the crumbling faerie castle Thornhill House. Frederick Fairchilde is the cherished son of Lord and Lady Salisbury, expected to marry and keep up the family line. Despite their love for one another, society dictates they must be kept apart.
But, after years without a fae master, Thornhill House is waking up. It will listen to no one but Charles, leading him to discover his true identity even as the house and his inheritance begin to fall apart around him. He must save his home before midnight on his twenty-second birthday – which is also the night Frederick Fairchilde is throwing a masquerade ball at which he will choose his bride.
This project is currently in revision.
