Criminal necromancer & vampire private eye team up to solve the case of the missing barista. *** When a client drops dead in her fortune telling parlor, 'reformed' necromancer Isla has no choice but to illegally resurrect the poor gal. Your girl's got priors, alright? Hiding a corpse will send Isla back to the slammer. The client's just a Tourist, so Isla is certain nobody will notice. But you know what they say: The only things certain in life are death, taxes, and a handsome vampire poking his fangs where they don't belong. Gregor, a vampire private detective, has been hired to find another vamp's misplaced favorite bloodbag-- I mean, barista. Greg knows the fraudulent and distractingly attractive psychic, Isla, is the key to the barista's whereabouts, but he just can't put his fangs on what it is she's hiding from him. If her little whoopsie is discovered, Isla fears both the otherworldly authorities and an ancient vampire will have her throat. So she does what any girl would do in her situation. She hires Greg to find the risen barista for her first so that she can undo the resurrection. Sparks fly and blood splatters as Greg and Isla investigate Philadelphia's secret paranormal society, throw literal bones at the werewolf mafia, commune with the spirits of dead vampire-brides, dodge arrest by the magic fuzz, and occasionally pop off for late night cheesesteaks.

Min Soo-yun grew up with the knowledge that her father wanted her to be the next Queen of Joseon and would stop at nothing to place her on the throne. Despite not wanting that future for herself and against all odds, Soo-yun is chosen during the Royal Selection Process to be the royal bride for the 'Stone Prince'. Upon meeting Ha-neul for the first time, she discovers that the Crown Prince was nothing like how the gossip portrayed him. Expecting a cold or cruel individual, the person that she found herself betrothed to is kind and gentle, although emotionally distant from everyone else in the court. She finds that there is peril around every corner as she has to deal with an insane king, a manipulative queen, a serial killer stalking the streets of the capital, a band of ruthless outlaws, and a potential rebellion. With few people that she can trust, she will soon learn a shocking secret about the Crown Prince that threatens to shatter their fragile love and possibly bring down the kingdom of Joseon itself.
