Lady Susan Vernon, a beautiful and charming recent widow, visits her brother- and sister-in-law, Charles and Catherine Vernon, with little advance notice at Churchill, their country residence. Catherine is far from pleased, as Lady Susan had tried to prevent her marriage to Charles and her unwanted guest has been described to her as "the most accomplished coquette in England". Among Lady Susan's conquests in London is the married Mr. Mainwaring. Cover by the lovely @Austened.

One hundred years ago two significant things happened. The first world war ended and a woman became immortally bound to this earth. Immortal intervention. Elite action from an ancient order. The members of Paragon. This power sustained only by one thing... mortal blood. Now she watches over London. Blending into city life. But a chance encounter with a mortal woman will interrupt her covert existence among them. A detective and a lawyer. One a dark guardian and the other navigating carefully around an immortal she cannot begin to understand. A dark attraction that cannot be explained. A constant lust for the lifeblood in her veins. When London becomes too small to contain her secrets she must disappear. But the one thing an immortal never considered was leaving the world behind with a mortal firmly at her side. The rules were never so blurred.

The uneasy stalemate between Zianna and Deorun is holding. Finn accompanies Tannix on a diplomatic mission to the Queendom of Navire, to ask Queen Avaloni if she will ally with Zianna when the fighting truly starts. Finn knows he's going to be left behind when Tannix and the knights join the army. He's determined to make every moment before then matter. Not only with Tannix, but with his two vastly different families-the thieves and the knights. When the time comes and Tannix and the men ride off, Finn expects to face months of uncertainty. Nervously waiting for news from the front and treasuring every letter Tannix manages to write. But Finn has a habit of ending up in the middle of things. The war is no exception.

This book is a companion to my books Without a King and Wanderlust. This is for anyone who, like me, enjoys extra details about fictional worlds. Updates will happen sporadically, simply because I don't want to spoil anything that is revealed at strategic times during the books. However I will assume that anyone checking this out is up to date with the novels. It will include information like maps, world history, notes about different cultures, mythology, and anything else I have created that I think people might find interesting!

A year and a day is a long time to think about a single kiss. But that's what Finn thought about, every day, until finally Tannix rescues him and sweeps him off to West Draulin. Finn quickly realizes that he likes West Draulin. He likes the good food and the expensive clothing. He even likes Tannix's knights. West Draulin seems like a place he'll really enjoy living. Until one night, when everything changes. The kingdom of Zianna finds itself at war. And Finn learns that being in a relationship with a lord isn't going to simply be the life of luxury he was starting to enjoy.

'You'll be imprisoned for a year and a day.' The next words caught in my throat. Finn looked so defenceless, so harmless. His arms were tied back and I wanted to step forward and cut the ropes. I wanted to order the guards away, and I wanted to pull Finn out of the rain. I wanted to brush his dripping hair out of his eyes and kiss him. I would protect him, but I had to be smart. So I cleared my throat, and before I could get caught up in my thoughts again, I finished Finn's sentence. 'And then, you'll be executed.' ---- While Finn waits in prison, Tannix works to prove he's innocent. Unexpected challenges get in his way, including missing documents, the royal spymaster, and politics. With Tandrin's help, Tannix tries to navigate these obstacles as well as figure out his new place as a favourite Champion. In the lower city, Baisan also struggles to come to terms with what has happened, and how his world is continuing to change. *Takes place between Without a King and An Aimless War

Lady Clarille is seventeen, which means it is time for her to start courting. The only young lord who has caught her eye is Lord Berver, and she's determined to make him notice her. That is, until she meets the wealthy merchant, Keridel. Keridel isn't noble. He isn't even a Teltan. But Clarille quickly realizes that doesn't matter to her. Keridel is charming, handsome and intelligent. Most importantly, he treats her like an equal. He talks to her about his business and listens to her ideas. He sees that she's more than just a prize to be married. Their courtship starts with letters, and becomes much more. Set nearly 50 years before 'Without a King', this is the story of Tannix's maternal grandparents.
