A Demon in White Gloves

A well-to-do noble estate hides more than wealth behind its polished halls and locked doors. When the last of a once-revered lineage inherits the manor, they are assigned a new butler—polite, impeccable, and impossibly attentive. He calls himself Basil, and he serves with flawless devotion… though there is nothing human in the way his shadow moves or the way the air bends when he smiles. Bound by contract and something far older than loyalty, Basil insists he exists only to serve his Master. Yet beneath the white gloves and composed courtesy lies a presence that hungers, watches, and quietly defies the rules of both Heaven and Hell. In a house where secrets breathe through the walls, trust becomes dangerous—and devotion may be the most terrifying force of all.
