Summary
Lord Morpheus is the eldest child of the Earl and Countess of Endless, an ancient family hiding huge debts behind a fine name. As an omega, Morpheus cannot inherit his father's title or the family's ancestral home. His function is simple: secure a match that is both socially advantageous and financially viable, thus securing the future of the estate and the title of Earl of Endless for his offspring. The family believe that their troubles are solved when Morpheus dutifully (if reluctantly) becomes engaged to his wealthy cousin, Patrick. However, all their carefully laid plans are thrown into chaos when Patrick drowns on the ill-fated Titianic.
Now Morpheus is navigating treacherous waters of his own and discovering how tight the ties of family loyalty bind him. Will the charming and handsome Duke of Crowborough prove his saviour? Or will the wealthy yet odious Sir Roderick Burgess ensnare Morpheus in plans of his own?
Meanwhile, the family’s new chauffeur, one Robert Gadling, is muddying the waters of Morpheus’s existence even further- where is the line between a servant and a friend? Can Hob help Morpheus see that life exists beyond the confines of family and function?

Summary
Death loved her little brother, truly. Of all her siblings, Dream made her job more interesting - more bearable.
She knew immediately when he was taken. Some died, others simply wasted away with no one to miss them as they slumbered. She knew what Burgess had been doing. How could she not? She knew and had been unconcerned and now he had her brother and there was nothing she could do. There were laws to be followed.

Summary
Deep in thought Hob entered his apartment and walked into his living room. Only decades of experience made him realize something was wrong and he snapped back to reality, just as someone came at him from behind. Hob moved out of the way and the person, a man, cursed as he smashed into the coffee table. But it had been too late for him to notice the second man and a strong man wrapped around his chest as a rag was held against his nose and mouth.

Or, Burgess may have found a way to get what he wants.

Summary
Dream did his best to slow any healing he did; he needed to hold out as long as he could, preserve what little power he had, until he could escape. Some days were harder than others, and some damage required immediate attention if he didn’t want to die.
As if each use of power wasn’t slowly driving him towards death anyway. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to see his sister – he really, really did – but he’d rather not have their next meeting be their last one.
-----
Wherein Roderick Burgess decides he can make a profit off Dream's blood, and then wonders what else he can take from Dream, and Dream only has so much power to keep him alive...Look, this is not a nice story. Consider it my Application to Hell.

Summary
"This one is a special case," Burgess says. "He is a war hero. Do you understand? You will be on your best behavior. You know what happens when you are not."
Two years into his imprisonment, and Dream of the Endless has not given Roderick Burgess what he wants. Yet if he cannot have back his son, then he will have whatever else Dream has to give, and sell it to the highest bidder: body, powers, and all.
Hob Gadling, newly back from the Western Front, has barely slept since 1889, and is desperate for any sort of relief, even that peddled by mad old men claiming to be warlocks.
