Manor Stories

For generations, Anubis Manor has hidden a secret. Rowan has spent his life alone within its walls, carrying the burden of the last Keeper - a guardian bound to protect humanity from the dark spirits known as Shades. With the ability to transform into a great black hound, he has always believed his duty was meant to be faced alone. But when Alice and her Labrador, Lucy, accidentally enter the manor grounds, Rowan's carefully guarded world begins to change. Drawn together by secrets, loss and a connection neither of them expected, Rowan and Alice uncover the truth behind the ancient force beneath Anubis Manor - and learn that the greatest protection against darkness may not be sacrifice, but finding someone worth fighting beside.

"You are just full of surprises aren't you?" Elle looked pointedly at the stranger's poorly mismatched clothes again, "As are you." Through the darkness she saw his face split into a grin, "I haven't the faintest idea what you mean." "Either you are a nobleman dressing below your rank, which would be terribly exciting, or you're just a noble-born architect too rich to have taste, which would be rather dull." "And which would you have me be?" "I would hope that you're exciting, good Sir," Elle curtseyed deeply to the strange man before continuing her way to the hat shop. .............................. Eloise is living as a servant in her own house watching her greedy spoiled step-sisters, Cassia and Abigail, spend more money than is reasonable.

Who is he and why does he have such bad taste in cloths? Why does his companion never remove his helmet?

Introduction To All Readers and Potential Publishers Welcome to Breedlove Manor, the first book in The Nevermore Chronicles. Some stories begin with a single question. Others begin with a place that refuses to be forgotten.Breedlove Manor is both. Hidden beyond ordinary roads and surrounded by forests, mountains, ancient ruins, and secrets that have survived generations, the manor is more than an old home. It is a place shaped by memory, mystery, family, loss, discovery, and forces that cannot always be explained. This is where The Nevermore Chronicles begins. Book One, Breedlove Manor, introduces readers to a world where the past is never truly gone and where every discovery can reveal another question. The story blends gothic atmosphere, fantasy, mystery, family history, supernatural lore, and emotional discovery while following characters who must learn that understanding where they came from may be just as important as discovering where they are going. At the heart of the story is Breedlove Manor itself.Its halls hold memories. Its surrounding lands hold secrets. The forests, mountains, lakes, ruins, and forgotten paths are part of a living world rather than simple scenery. Each place has its own history, atmosphere, and connection to the events unfolding around it. But the manor is only the beginning. As the story develops, readers will discover that the world surrounding Breedlove Manor is far larger than it first appears. Old legends begin to take shape. Family histories become increasingly important. Relationships are tested. Mysteries unfold gradually, and not every answer arrives when it is expected. The Nevermore Chronicles is designed as a continuing journey rather than a story that gives everything away at once. Readers are invited to discover the world alongside the characters. There will be moments of wonder, uncertainty, danger, heartbreak, friendship, and discovery. Some mysteries may seem obvious while others may remain hidden in plain sight.
