Death, Loss, and Love. Bartholomeus awakens,  quarantined in a room of his past by a monstrous stranger. He remembers little, and as he recounts the time before his slumber, he fears if he will ever escape.
A Gothic Short about sacrifice, loss of humanity, and the cracks in the secret love affair between an heir and his manservant in the Regency Period. The Mysterious Crow Clan and their judgment on Bartholomeus lead only to its destruction, and to any reader, this is not a happy tale, but one of glimmering hope even when we become a monster.All Rights Reserved
