Severin Quilby

Inheriting a bride and losing his father might not have been the best reasons for moving across the country, but when Eiren arrives at his betrothed's family castle, the prospect of being married becomes far less concerning than simply not going insane... or getting himself killed.

Called to the home of his betrothed at the Kelfordshire Estate, Eiren Adair is suddenly pulled from a life of comfort far, far away from his Father and any marriage obligations. Now in want for comfort and luxury, he finds himself trapped in wait for his impending marriage to the Lord Van Wyk's daughter in a season of perpetual rain and snow. Surrounded by a hostile family and haunted by the terrifying statues scattered around the estate - modeled after the dead wives of the Lord Van Wyk by the famed sculptor Severin Quilby - Eiren must come to terms with his own desire to live and escape, before he becomes another tragedy of Kelfordshire Castle.
