Milo can feel the difference between every person he has ever touched. It is involuntary. Precise. And it has kept him safe for his entire life.
When he walks through the gates of the Palace of Pantheon, a sentient, shifting building that houses dozens of distinct voices, his gift lights up like it was built for this place. Thirty-three presences. Thirty-three ways of wanting. Milo wants to understand every one of them.
But wanting to know is not the same thing as being willing to be known.
Over four days, the Palace strips him bare, physically and structurally. A stone-reader sees his intentions before he speaks them. A cold-eyed interrogator demands the truth he has been hiding behind his own openness. A kitchen begins to anticipate his mornings. A private journal reveals love written in measurements. And beneath the Palace, something ancient waits to take the last thing anchoring him to the man he was before.
Milo came to catalog want.
He did not expect want to catalog him back.
The Catalog of Want is the first book in Milo's Collection, part of the Palace of Pantheon series. This is an explicit, slow-burn, multi-partner M/M fantasy romance with psychological intensity, dominant and submissive dynamics, and a sentient building with opinions about your love life.
