   Summary

   Holly Waylon has always felt like an intruder in her own home. Within the vast and drafty halls of Waylon Manor, she is reminded daily that she is not the son her father wanted, nor the obedient heir her mother demands. Only in the warmth of the kitchen and in stolen midnight hours does she find a fleeting sense of peace.

   But the manor is not just cold—it is watchful. Whispers rise in the walls, secrets linger in her parents’ silences, and a strange black book seems to follow her gaze. The deeper Holly looks, the more she begins to sense a design stretching back before her birth, one that speaks of ancient Lords and a destiny carved into her very bloodline.

   Trapped between her family’s expectations and forces far older than she can comprehend, Holly must confront the truth hidden in the shadows of Waylon Hall—before the house, and the ones who claim to love her, demand the ultimate price.
