The Obsidian Origins Trilogy

By Alexander Grant

Beneath Prohibition-era Chicago, hidden below a respectable speakeasy, lies a place men are never meant to name.

The Obsidian Room.

In a world built on restraint, silence, and appearances, it offers something far more dangerous: surrender.

Across three interconnected stories-The Husband No One Saw, The Man After Midnight, and The Lover in the Shadows-men drawn to the Obsidian Room confront desires they were never allowed to claim. By day, they are husbands, professionals, and pillars of respectability. By night, they descend into an underground world governed by discipline, hierarchy, and consent-where authority is deliberate, submission is chosen, and nothing about desire is accidental.

What begins as secrecy becomes recognition. What begins as control becomes intimacy. Inside the Obsidian Room, men are stripped not of dignity, but of pretense-forced to reckon with the cost of living unseen, and the risk of being truly known.

Set against the shadows of 1930s Chicago, The Obsidian Origins Trilogy is a slow-burn, psychologically charged exploration of forbidden desire, power exchange, and the quiet, consuming pull of connection forged in the dark. Dark, deliberate, and deeply sensual, this trilogy traces the evolution from hidden longing to undeniable attachment-where love, when it comes, does so without permission.

Some doors are meant to remain closed.

Others change everything once you step through.
