Blackstone Manor

Io is a Masonry Gargoyle tasked with looking after old buildings to help maintain a balance, and he's hopelessly in love with his alpha, Cinder. If only he wasn't such a screw up. With Cinder's birthday right around the corner, Io is convinced he has found the perfect gift -- Blackstone Manor, an estate that has captivated Cinder for years. He just needs to find the deed before the house is demolished. Of course, keeping the gift a secret from the bitter beta Ran'imy may prove easier said than done. She has her sights set on Cinder, too. But Io is willing to do whatever he has to, including crossing a line that could get him banished from the clan. He's about to make a stand for love.

Sequel to Blackstone Manor… Two months have passed since Masonry Gargoyle Io came clean with Cinder about his feelings. Of course, in the process, he broke a major rule. Cinder stood by him, at a price, as the Council planned to pay a visit to decide their fate. Io may still be thrown out of the pack, and there's no telling what punishment would be bestowed on Cinder. As if that isn't bad enough, Ran'imy is mad, jealous, and no doubt cooking up some nefarious plan. After all, she had her sights set on Cinder, too. How could he pick Io, the bumbling fool, over her? Io has to stand by Cinder's side before the Council, but their relationship is still new. Will their love be strong enough to withstand the Council and Ran'imy's revenge?

Blackstone Manor is complete, and what better way to celebrate than a Halloween party? At least, that's how Io sees it. He's already splurged on candy and decorations. Cinder isn't entirely on board, however, hating the look of disappointment on Io's face when he nixes the idea. Yet somehow Io gets his way, and the party goes ahead as planned. It can't be all that bad, right? But throw in couples' costumes, Daisy acting weird, real ghosts, and the secret Cinder has been harboring from Io, and it's sure to be a night none of them forget.

Just like he did for Halloween, Io has decided to go all out for Christmas, a holiday not typically celebrated by the family. With the decorations up, the only thing he needs to make it perfect is a blanket of fresh white snow. What's Christmas without snowmen? There's also the messy task of trying to, yet again, find the right gift for Cinder. Meanwhile, Cinder has his plate full. Not only is he dealing with the sudden explosion of holiday decorations in Blackstone Manor, but the time has come for him to pick a new beta. Who is right for the position? If he doesn't pick Io, will his beloved be hurt?
