Requirements: ePUB Reader, 365 kB
Overview: The sequel to Waif, a popular Gothic short story published in 2011 by Greyhart Press, Shun House is a dark, tale. A romance, yes, but cold, wicked and grim.
Marquis Raphael Álmos Vaskapu is the last of his line, an ancient race of half-breeds born of a union between Man and Dragon. His single purpose is to find a companion and wife, someone with whom he can deliver a future for his kind. Following long years of fruitless searching, a letter from across the sea brings hope: the Iberian Contessa, Adelina Lupita Serpa Cantabria. Against all expectation, the blood of dragons flows in her veins no less strongly than it does in Raphael’s.
Young and beautiful, Adelina sets sail from Castillo de Cantabria for a cold and distant shore accompanied by Constanza, her guardian since birth and Dama de Compañía for the voyage. They arrive at the fishing village of Hook on the tail of a storm, where they are met by Joseph Harrow, master servant of the Vaskapu at Benediction House, a man who is himself warped by perverse desires and lusts.
All seems well but the arrival does not go unremarked. The Duke of Umberland has no love for the Vaskapu. He is indebted to their benefaction, and will dare death itself to be rid of it. He summons aid from a clan renowned for their dealings with evil and brutish András, the hunter, is despatched. Now the marquis must defend his ancestral home, protect the woman he loves and preserve the future of his line. A battle is coming, and what the aftermath will be no one can be sure…
Warning: if all you want is a hero and a heroine, an easy read and a happy path to a happy ending, then maybe this book is not for you; but if you are made of stronger stuff, take a breath and read on…
