With him are his loyal friend and servant, Frieze, and his clerk, Brother Peter, as well as the Lady Isolde and her mysterious servant-companion Ishraq. The five of them are followed into the town by a huge children's crusade, led by a self-proclaimed saint. Its young leader promises that the sea will part before them, and allow them to walk dry-shod all the way to
Jerusalem. Luca and Lady Isolde are swept up in the growing excitement; but something dangerous is brewing far out to sea...

Knightly Blood
When a college hunting trip goes horribly wrong, Gemma Knightly finds herself stranded in a town that shouldn't exist-haunted by monsters she was trained to kill... and truths she was never meant to uncover. As a lifelong recruit of the Order of the Eye, Gemma was taught that all supernatural beings are dangerous. Evil. Unredeemable. But nothing about this cursed town adds up. The locals are kind. Protective. And one in particular-Shep, her aggravatingly devoted guide-makes her feel things she was never allowed to feel. The longer she stays, the more the truth begins to unravel. The real monsters may not be fanged or clawed-but cloaked in authority and hiding in plain sight. Torn between loyalty to the Order that raised her and the found family she's discovered, Gemma must decide whether to fight for what she was told to believe... or burn it all down. Knightly Blood is a dark paranormal romance filled with buried secrets, broken legacies, and forbidden passion-including several explicit sex scenes that explore trust, power, and vulnerability. In this town, love is dangerous. But the truth is even deadlier.Complete
