Equinox

The sword shrivels to flakes of snow.

As evening falls, the city of Esteburg begins to stir. Christophor Morden, one of the king's special inspectorate, is woken early by a call to the city prison. A heinous crime has been committed and the police suspect supernatural causes.

The law devours its history.

The investigation will take Christophor far from home, to a village on the edge of the Kingdom. There he will discover the signs of an unholy ritual that can only be performed by a witch.

The stone moves on water.

But within Christophor – as within all the citzens of Reikova – is a day brother: Alexsander, a musician who knows nothing of night. And as his night brother nears the truth, Alexsander will find himself determined to halt him.

The broken heart bleeds gold.

And all the while, the witch's ancient and apocalyptic ritual comes ever closer to completion...

Widow's Welcome: Tales of Fenest Book One

There's power in stories and this is a story of power.

Dead bodies aren't unusual in the alleyways of Fenest. Muggings, brawls gone bad, debts collected – Detective Cora Gorderheim has seen it all.

Until she finds a Wayward man with his mouth sewn shut.

As Cora pieces together the dead man's story, she's drawn into the most dangerous story in the Union of Realms: the election. All she wants is to catch the killer, but nothing is that simple in an election year. Dark forces conspire against the Union and soon she finds herself at the rotten core of it all.


Who could want his story to be left untold?
