Dorian and Phaedra never imagined that a house could be wicked, until they bought Cardinal House. The veil is thin there; the land is soured. That which goes bump in the night is filled with malicious intent. The spirits that dwell within Cardinal House are eternally hungry for pain and fear, and Dorian and Phaedra’s very souls are on the menu. Their love is the only thing protecting them from Hell’s sharp teeth, but otherworldly interventions drive a wedge between them. The sledgehammer is poised to strike, and in order to survive this nightmare, they must face Evil Itself. Can Phaedra and Dorian survive the onslaught or will they, too, join the undead trapped in Cardinal House forevermore?

EXPLICIT CONTENT (SEX, VIOLENCE, DRUGS, PROFANITY)  The tale of Sorrow and Rue is a paranormal steam punk crime drama set in an alternate universe on the verge of the electricity revolution, wherein the Detectives face difficult cases that challenge their sensibilities.

In ‘Smile of Truth’, the case of the Lakeshire Strangler baffles Detectives Tristan Rue and Silver Sorrow, until a survivor leads to a possible break in the case. The victim, a lad named Kiyoshi, is left in ruins, ravaged by the encounter.  As Rue and Sorrow probe Kiyoshi for information, they find objectivity difficult to maintain.  The truth proves damning, and Rue and Sorrow must make an impossible choice.  

Next, in ‘Dogwoods’, they must process the irrational information they encounter when investigating an auto accident turned murder scene.  When there is no normal explanation, only the paranormal will suffice, unless perhaps it was some elaborate hoax?

In ‘One Thousand Words’, their next case proves personal for Silver, as she is forced to revisit the devastating disappearance of her little brother.  Once again, justice seems slightly out of reach, and the Detectives struggle to find a way forward through so much red tape.

Finally, in ‘Apparitions’, Detective Rue must solve the attempted murder of the Queen herself.  However, he finds himself haunted by ghosts from his past, and he must face them before they consume him.
