Dream's Shadow

Jack is adopted at a young age into his dream family in Elizabethan London. For a short while, his life is perfect. He doesn't realize how quickly it will change. He doesn't know his adopted parents are a timewalking witch and her vampire mate. Soon Jack's life becomes entangled in a knot of ever-increasing complexity.

Six-Crossed Knot is a collection of stories based on The All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness. The name is derived from a custom spell Diana weaves for Jack Blackfriars in the third novel, The Book of Life. Jack is introduced in Shadow of Night and continues to play a role in subsequent novels, but much of his story is yet to be explored. My stories are designed to fill in some of the blanks until Deborah does. Dream's Shadow covers Jack's life between 1591 and 1603. See the Six-Crossed Knot page on my blog (pennasilbrithconversation.blogspot.com) for background information on the series and an introduction to the world of All Souls Trilogy.
