The Most Ancient and Most Noble House of Black has endured wars, betrayals, and the slow attrition of blood and time - but it has never had a foundation quite like this one.
Sirius Black did not set out to rebuild a dynasty. He set out to save two boys abandoned on a doorstep and discovered, in doing so, that saving them required becoming something he had spent his whole life running from: the head of his family, in name and in fact.
Now Blacktide Castle stands on a North Sea cliff above an ancient leyline, and within it live four children who were not born Blacks and are becoming nothing else. This is the story of how a broken house becomes a home. Of the magic that stirs when a family is chosen rather than inherited. Of a world on the edge of transformation - politically, magically, historically - and the House of Black standing at the center of it, rebuilt from the ground up by a man who once wanted nothing to do with it, to a boy who finds strength from a family that wanted him.
