Maximillian Porter spent the bulk of his life secluded in the grand and melancholic halls of Gwenshill, his family estate. Lonely, insecure, and haunted by the trauma of death, it took him meeting the charming and young James 'Jamie' Grenvill to make him believe that he met the one person he would spend the rest of his life with. It seemed like a love that transcended generations and social barriers, until symptoms of mental illness began to consume Maximillian's mind and sanity. Only growing worse as the people closest to him begin to die unexpectedly... from accidents? Or from malice?

A novel about legacy, madness, longing, and the fear of being alone at the end of one's life. A ten-year span of lies that lay buried, of revelations that were ignored, and a love between two men that tests the will to find forgiveness in each other, and in one's own self.
