From the description for House of Matchsticks:
On the surface of the sea, a burning island beckons to a man known only as the Collector.
Approaching the fire, the Collector and his bird companion, Caladrius, bear witness to a vicious crime. When he realizes an innocent life will be lost-a baby, swathed in a bundle and left to die in a floating rowboat-the Collector makes a choice that will change his course forever.
So begins House of Matchsticks, a brand-new, unforgettable YA Fantasy series set in the world of Benemourne, where a mysterious ore called Adrudian supplies power to a society rife with danger.
Follow Isaline, a girl who dreams of becoming a City Watchman in Benemourne's capital, and Jack, a retired treasure hunter with a dark and painful obsession, as they are dragged with the Collector into the beginnings of a deadly adventure.
House of Matchsticks is a third person, multi-POV series with found family, slow-burn romance (straight and LGBTQ+), and a healthy dose of action/adventure. This collection contains Parts 1-3. Expect unanswered questions.
