The Beast's House — Romaric Malveaux
“You walked into the Beast’s cage. I never promised to let you leave.” Beyond the last gated road of a coastal city stands an estate the underworld calls the Beast’s house — a house that keeps its beast inside, and says so as a warning. The man behind those walls does not take guests. He takes debts. When your father’s money ran out, he took the only currency left that still mattered and brought you through the gates. A year of room and board, worked off, and the west wing shut. Romaric Malveaux says it himself before anything else: the year is all he bought, and the house does not own you.
