She believes in load-bearing walls, proper mortar ratios, and proving her father wrong. When she's hired to restore the crumbling gothic mansion Blackwood Manor, she expects drafts, dust, and the occasional collapsed beam. She does \u003cem\u003enot\u003c\/em\u003e expect to wake a 847-year-old gargoyle named Gideon-a sarcastic, silver-eyed menace who immediately insults her boots and informs her that she's now magically bound to him.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe curse is simple: seven nights of \"mutual surrender\" or Gideon stays stone forever.
