The hour of mysteries has struck. Along with it, the grand clock of time, which for centuries has relentlessly moved forward, crushing lives and futures with its long needle. That needle has turned a lot, bringing us to the end of the 19th century. Yes, the time for secrets has arrived.

It arrived in the form of an envelope, a red envelope sealed with the pompous crest of a countess, yet delivered by a shabby postman to an equally shabby apartment where two self-proclaimed detectives reside. One, Lucy Moon, resonates with all the imagination the world has bestowed upon her, her eyes seeing nothing but mysteries to solve and truths to unearth from the depths where they have been buried. The other, Alistair de Saule, has eyes the color of a coal sky, gray, gray, gray, like the steel from which his heart seems to be made. His gaze is fixed on the past and the grand clock that has never stopped turning. Fixed on a past that has flown away, like a leaf in the wind. 

With this envelope, a great adventure is set to begin, taking them from dark and twisted corridors, under the sounds of the gears of an obscure machinery and broken hearts, to the streets of London and beyond. Far, very far into the clouds and the muck of this world. And as an inextricable web of puzzles weaves around them, leading them into a strange conspiracy, an eerie melody will commence. One of fallen angels, destroyed worlds, and monster hunters. But how far, how far will they go? To the end of time, to the brink of life.

Until all the mysteries, finally, are solved.

He's supposed to be here to protect me, because if the got me... blood smears the pages of the passed. "Sapphire!" I hear him call. "Coal!"

The only safe place anymore is pressed against him under the sheets. "Coal!" I call out again. ---I can hear her. She's here somewhere I know it. I can smell her sent threw the thick of the woods. "Sapphire!" I call out, but my call is lost in the night. I have to protect her. I have to save one, just one. Maybe that will be enough to clean the blood off my tainted skin. What if they get her? She'll... Change... I look up at the moon, could she not have heard my howls? Of course she did. She always did. I can hear the other wolves in the forest. Soon I too would be engulfed by the beast.

"Well," he suddenly informed, his voice a mere whisper that sent shivers down my spine, "facts about vampires include their ability to sense the desires of others from just a few distances." "And aside from those two whose desires are choking the place, another one lingers, and that's you, Red," he stated. I could feel the warmth of his breath, tantalizingly close, as it brushed against my ear, sending a rush of sensations through my body. "W-What?" "You know," he continued, his voice lowering even further, as if he was revealing a forbidden secret, "I can help with that, Red, leaving you breathless and craving more than you've ever desired in your entire life." ~~~~ Red Hathaway The girl with a seemingly normal life has gone through the ups and downs of high school. Teen movies, bullying, being called a freak - it's all part of the teenage experience, right? But there's something intriguing about this mysterious boy with piercing baby blue eyes that Red can't quite remember.

From almost blowing up a chemistry lab to being pursued by soul-hungry beings, Red discovers that she's not even human. As she is whisked away to Mystic Academy, a school teeming with magical creatures - elves, faes, vampires, werewolves, and witches with incredible spell-casting abilities. Red must navigate her newfound identity, survive the perils that surround her, and make a choice between the allure of a werewolf and a seductive vampire as her potential lover. Join Red on this gripping journey as she unravels the mysteries of her existence and faces the ultimate test of her heart and survival.

His best friend is shot dead, and the world thinks Metropolitan Police Officer George Reynolds did it. They were in the one place that should've been safe, their police station. At least it was until aspiring detective George Reynolds came lucid from another blackout. Blood pools tantalisingly across the floor and there's two bullet holes in the wall. His best friend, officer Chris Wells is dead and George finds himself with the body and no memory of how. Only a tape recorder and a locker key for a clue. It's a dangerous game, from a lifetime of planning, rigged to make George look guilty and force him to remember what he really is and what he went through as a child. A pure born werewolf. Kidnapped from his real family to be experimented on. George gets dangled on strings by the killer puppet master and taken on a haunting journey never to be forgotten again. Made to relive the past trauma of a tragic fire that took the lives of the family that tortured him. Bodies continue to fall, all framed to fit the murderous narrative of an elaborate plot for revenge. When he finally remembers, when he's finally broken, another unique side to George wakes. So does a dark new world from the shadows. George learns the painful truth, and none of it is good. Nobody saw the real killer coming or expected that it could be someone they trusted.
