Manor by the Sea

A Lycan Novel

By: C. M. Fahnlander

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

A fortified manor. A dangerous secret. A bond neither of them understands…

Lord Silas has been sent on a mission of peace — to invite the reclusive Lord Ansel to join a powerful new federation of manors. But when Silas arrives at the seaside estate, he finds no nobleman… only a sharp-tongued, flame-haired woman who seems far too comfortable giving orders in Lord Ansel’s name.

Christine has spent fifteen years guarding a secret that could destroy everything. Lord Ansel died in a fire long ago — but to protect her people and her land, she’s kept his memory alive with clever lies and forged letters. Now, with a growing threat on the horizon, she’s determined to join the federation… even if it means manipulating a visiting lord, a dangerously persistent neighbor, and every custom of her time.

Silas and Christine are drawn to each other in ways neither can explain — but Silas is a Lycan, and Christine is human. Is it love? Fate? Or the mysterious pull of a mate bond neither dares to trust?

As Christine’s web of deception tightens and the obsessive Lord Geoffrey circles closer, loyalties will be tested, truths will surface, and one woman’s courage will decide the fate of a manor by the sea.
