In a contemporary New York where supernatural beings live openly among humans, Netherlust operates as an exclusive pleasure club housed in a Gilded Age mansion that exists simultaneously in both the human and faerie realms—a rare portal space where the boundaries between worlds grow thin enough for dangerous desires to flourish. Bronwyn Ashford, newly appointed Vice-Chamberlain of Netherlust, is bound by an ancient vow of abstinence that prohibits her from touching another person, yet on the night before her celibacy takes effect, she commits a catastrophic mistake: using forbidden telepathic magic to project a graphic fantasy into the mind of a prominent socialite at a charity fundraiser, then spending one final reckless night with her soon-to-be-ex-lover before accepting the keys to power. Four years later, alone in the club she now runs, Bronwyn remembers that last time—and seeks solace in the only pleasure still permitted to her.
Each Netherlust episode is a standalone story—you can begin with any character or any room and experience a complete narrative arc. While the episodes interconnect to build a larger world of political intrigue, forbidden magic, and complex relationships, they’re designed to be enjoyed in whatever order calls to you. Whether you’re drawn to a specific character’s journey or curious about a particular room’s secrets, every episode offers a doorway into the Netherlust universe.
