Mandrake Manor
Inherited magic. A secret neighborhood. And... a formidable Homeowner's Association?
Recent graduate Mathias Mandrake’s life takes a turn when an unexpected inheritance of a distant relative’s manor falls right into his lap. However, this home across the country comes with a condition: Mat cannot live there alone. Good thing his best friend Frankie is ready to leave behind his lackluster trail of midnight trysts for a more suburban life. Eager to hone in his dilf-hunting skills, his bags are packed and ready to go before Mat can finish signing the paperwork.
Completing this trio is August, for whom the idea of living with newfound friends away from the hustle and bustle of city life is, honestly, a dream come true. Not only that, but it’s a perfect setting to finally finish that novel they’ve been working on. Mandrake Manor is a whimsical tale full of mystery and mayhem as well as an abundance of queer joy through found family, budding romance, lots of sass, and light spice.
