The Stranger at Blackwood Hall: a new novelette by Lila Mary

Lord Serian of Blackwood Hall is a healer of fame and legend. In his hidden home, he heals the sick and injured and asks for nothing in return except that they keep the location of the Hall a secret. After they've healed, they leave, and Serian passes quiet days with just his staff for company. Such has been his life for years.

When a stranger shows up half dead at Blackwood Hall one stormy night, Serian is instantly intrigued. As the stranger Adar recovers, Serian learns of his kindness and wandering ways, though Adar remains cagey about what led him to Blackwood Hall.

As they grow closer, and Serian forms a growing attachment to his mysterious stranger, he's forced to confront the reminder that Adar will have to leave just as every patient does.
