About this listen

Deadly machines. Strange creatures. A sinister secret.

A crew of treasure hunters risking their lives to uncover the truth.

But they’ll have to find the lost House of Matchsticks first …

On the surface of the sea, a burning island beckons a mysterious man called the Collector.

Approaching the fire, the Collector bears 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, an unforgettable YA Fantasy series set in a world called Benemourne, where poisonous ore and corrupt factions power a society rife with danger.

Follow Isaline, a girl who dreams of becoming a City Watchman in Benemourne’s capital, and Jack, a former 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 is Part 1 in the series. Expect a cliffhanger.

The House of Matchsticks series:

  1. House of Matchsticks
  2. Night of Matchsticks
  3. Tree of Matchsticks

... and more to come.
