The Beaumont Cycle

England, 1939. Robert Henley-Finch returns to Beaumont Hall, the country estate that made him and never forgave him. The house is waking—whispers in the stairwell, a plaque that shines with unspoken scripture, a painting that answers back. And Robert’s sleep is no longer his own.

Dreams carry him into another life: a gardener’s orphan named Jacob, a girl at an upstairs window, and an escape purchased with blood. In London, a waitress named Jenny steals a book from men who wear crimson robes and serve an older order. Together with Robert’s school friend Charlie—a scholar with a liar’s grin—they stumble onto a ledger of pledges, a star that isn’t a star, and a chalice that never stays empty for long.

As war gathers, an older conflict opens beneath Beaumont’s floors. Angels may be real—or something worse that wears their light. To save Jenny—and the past that refuses to stay past—Robert must learn what the house already knows: who he is, and what the light will ask in return.
