After spending the past month as a cheerful amnesiac, drinking gin and making jokes while his world disintegrated, Jack Cade finally has his memories back. That means he knows exactly who Ellini Syal is, and how he feels about her. Unfortunately, he also thinks he's killed her. All he's living for now is revenge against the people who took her from him, be they demons or former friends.  

Ellini has come to London to do what she does best: a disappearing act. She has a broken heart, a punctured lung, and a pressing need to avoid all personal entanglements. But even in the smoke and bustle of London, someone from her old life has found her - someone who, like her, is supposed to be dead. 

A Thousand and One English Nights is the third book in the epic fantasy romance The Powder Trail, a series where the past and the present meet, part and reunite with explosive consequences.

The Centurion's Woman by FliederAmanda

Alexandria "Alex" Moldovan fell asleep at a work retreat and woke up in the same place, just not in the right time. The situation improves when she's inadvertently rescued by a Roman Centurion, and as long as she can keep her wits - and his affections - she might just survive this. But trading one slave class for another doesn't help with the trouble that always seems to find her... Ixillius Traversi had been leading his century on a routine razing, but the slave he found imprisoned, injured and starved in the village is anything but typical. That she was alive seemed barely possible, and then she'd saved his life... and she wasn't afraid of him. He claimed the woman who called herself Alex as his slave, be it a curse or a blessing, but he still needs to know one thing: who is she? The Centurion's Woman is set in Germania Inferior circa 5 AD, and Maiden discovers that a two thousand year culture shock may be the easiest problem to overcome, but it won't be the last... Trigger Warnings: beatings / abuse (people and animals), starvation, battle, blood, sex Please note: This story's historical elements are based on the research I did as a writer; I'm not a historian.

Long Live the Queen (Book 5 of The Powder Trail) by obliviablack

Jack Cade only needs one more thing to save his girlfriend from her past: the ring she threw into the demon realms. The one she never wanted anyone to find. It's being guarded by the incarnation of despair, and he has mixed feelings about retrieving it - not just because Ellini asked him not to. Once he does, she's going to leave him to fight the mad goddess-in-waiting, Myrrha Crake. But if she doesn't, Myrrha could kill the mother goddess of the demons and lead a crazed demon army into the human world. Can Ellini find a way to stop her? Is Robin Crake really on her side? Will Alice Darwin embrace her role as one of the two divinely-appointed guardians of Oxford? And where has the other guardian been hiding all this time? Long Live the Queen, the final book of The Powder Trail, features sea-witches, silver dragons and a resurgent Ellini Syal, in control of her past and her future. But it will take every scrap of her new-found strength to fight Myrrha and the chaos that flows in her wake. Cover by the amazing @AnnamitaMuscaria
