The Reformitory Trilogy. A Gothic slow burn reverse harem.
"A vow is only as strong as the temptation it survives. We shall see how well you understand obedience before your time here is done."
Father Thomas is twenty-eight, a virgin, and has spent his entire priesthood translating ancient texts in dry, well-lighted archives. He lives entirely by rules, canonical law, and the strict, systematic suppression of the flesh. He is the perfect instrument for his Bishop's will. Sent secretly to investigate St. Jude’s Abbey—a remote mountain reformatory for the defiant sons of the wealthy—his mission is to expose the Reverend Mother Superior, a woman rumored to rule her private kingdom completely outside the laws of the Church.
Thomas arrives in a torrential downpour, clutching his diocesan mandate like a shield against the suffocating isolation of the cliffs. He expects to find canonical crimes, financial irregularities, and broken prisoners.
Instead, he finds Julian, Ethan, and Leo—young men thriving intellectually and bound by an absolute, terrifying devotion to the woman who remade them. And at the center of the stone fortress stands the Mother Superior herself: timeless, commanding, and radiating a physical and psychological authority that demands total subjection.
Trapped by a looming winter and a collapsing mountain road, Thomas watches the house’s intense, intimate rituals from the dark. But a draft carries sound through stone, and a man who spends his nights watching an airtight boundary will eventually find his own armor beginning to crack.
The Assignment is the first book in a dark, slow-burn gothic erotica trilogy. It is a haunting psychological character study of religious guilt, forbidden desire, and a meticulous priest discovering that the edge he was so proud of was never there at all.
