The Trials of Gideon Book 2: Steal the Dark
Gideon's got a riddle, a cursed tomb, and a new mess of problems. He finds himself in the middle of France, with an old enemy and a new foe. He's in a dead zone with no magic, no idea how he got here, and no plan. It's 1445, everyone's got a secret, and an old grudge is about to turn deadly for the people of Wales and England alike. Sequel Series to Last Knights of Cambria series, and the Days of the Dead trilogy, ergo it contains spoilers for those. Similar narrative style and tone, that is if you want English history explained like Lemony Snicket, then this is for you. Ahem. Living people die, dead people live. Swords. Epic Battles. Mysterious riddles. Coded messages. True love. Traitors. Murder. Found families. Yes, Henry V is here and he is awesome. Did we mention swords? Battles are described in loving detail. People are not. Yes you may learn something about the Siege of Meaux, but that's a risk you're going to have to take. Content Warning: some violence, peril, and some strong language. Death issues discussed. A character may be seen as suicidal. A character experiences issues relating to an abusive parent. Some family trauma. Some dark humor.Complete

Evelyn has lived a quiet life, her days filled with the rhythms of farmwork and family-until the arrival of a stranger claiming to be her father shatters everything she's known. That stranger is Garret Shaw, a powerful London businessman who vanished from high society, only to reappear in the island country of Havencrest with one purpose: to reclaim the daughter he left behind. Now thrust into a world of etiquette tutors, whispered gossip, and glittering ballrooms, Evelyn must find her footing in a society that judges lineage over character-and love over convenience. Daniel Vermont, the Earl of Halcourt, is burdened by a title he never sought and an estate on the brink of collapse. His father's reckless debts and his own years away at war have left him with few choices. To secure his family's future, he must make a brilliant match-and quickly. But when a chance encounter brings him face to face with Evelyn Shaw, a woman cloaked in mystery and charm, he finds himself drawn to her quiet strength and unpolished honesty. The only problem: she may soon be claimed by someone far more powerful. As past sins and present ambitions collide, Evelyn and Daniel must navigate a delicate dance of duty, desire, and trust. In a season ruled by appearances, will they have the courage to choose what's real?
