The House at the Landing
~~This is a slow build story set in a rough village in a fantasy world I’ve created in my own mind over the last 4 years. A way for me to explore if this world is deep enough. My story has a planned ending and won’t go on forever. Hopefully you’ll enjoy, but if you’re into fast action this book ain’t for you.~~
When the owner of Sprayhaven is found dead in the shingle below Cliffwake, eighteen-year-old Kellan Rook inherits the last place he should ever have to run.
He tells himself it is only a hard, dirty house by the sea: a place of drink, rented rooms, passing sailors, and women from Breaker’s Rest. A place that can keep his family fed. But Cliffwake is rougher than that. Men come to Sprayhaven for pleasure, for privacy, and for things they would never dare name in daylight.
As Kellan struggles to hold the house together, he is drawn into a world of compromised loyalties, false trails, buried accounts, and whispered blood-magic hidden beneath ordinary labor. The deeper he digs into the death of the former owner, the more he begins to understand that Sprayhaven was never just a tavern.
In Cliffwake, every room has a price. Every secret leaves a stain. And some houses do not let their new masters stay innocent for long.
