angels dark dead dragon england ghosts gothic london magic myth

For the first time in two hundred years the River Thames has frozen over.

In the city an Ice Fair has sprung up bringing the wonders of the old Frost Fairs back to London. Its centrepiece is a circus with a Dragon in it.  Audiences are captived, the press at odds -is it real or a clever piece of deception.

At an old house in Snowfields, Martin Warr is working his apprenticeship at Warr and Pinkel, his father's Undertakers firm when the body of a young girl cut out from the ice of the frozen river arrives to be prepared for burial. 

When the ghost of Dr Craw, the Southwark Strangler who haunts the Undertakers house suggests that the girl may have been murdered, Martin decides to investigate.

The Ice Fair is a curate's egg of a story. A gothic tale of majicians, angels and ghosts, dragons and gods, of murders and the thing that lurks in the dark, twisting currents of the River Thames. 

And about an Undertaker who thaws the heart of the Frost Queen.

Taken Captive by reyatutt

I wrote this when I was 16 give me a break. TAKEN SERIES: BOOK ONE TW: kidnapping, manipulation, toxic/abusive relationship, violence, death, grief, self-harm, suicidal thoughts/attempts, sexual assault, non-consensual sexual content, alcoholism, stockholm syndrome, switching partners, etc. Do not read this story if you get triggered easily. If you decide to continue, that's your own choice. This story will portray a BDSM relationship, NOT counting the toxicity and genuine abuse that goes on throughout it. Do not comment anything unnecessarily judgmental, especially if you don't know what you're talking about. Thank you, enjoy. - - - - - "Don't ever do something like that again, or I will kill you, understood? "Yes, sir." - - - - - After being continuously hurt, left alone, heart broken and losing the one thing that kept her going, Nia Seymour turns to a new job that will show her how to let loose, live her life and make her happy again. The last thing she expected was to be Taken Captive by someone who would turn her life into chaos, make her addicted to the pain and hold her heart in his hands, breaking it and putting it back together over and over again until she's had enough. • • • The second he lays his eyes on her, Callum Rivera's world is turned upside down and he's made his mind up. She's his. He feeds off of the tears she cries, loves the pain all over her face when he hurts her over and over again, whether it's purposefully or not. As time passes and feelings evolve, soon enough the tears falling out of her eyes no longer give him pleasure, only pain and all he wants is for her to be happy, as long as she's with him. • • • The universe is sending challenge after challenge to these two individuals who want nothing but each other. Will they get past these secrets, lies, toxicity and pain? Or will one of them give up? - - - - -

The Medium by CjArcher

Seventeen year-old spirit medium Emily Chambers has a problem. Actually, she has several. As if seeing dead people isn't a big enough social disadvantage, she also has to contend with an escaped demon and a handsome ghost with a secret past. And then there's the question of her parentage. Being born an entire year after her father's death (yes, a year) and without the pale skin of other respectable English ladies, Emily is as much a mystery as the dead boy assigned to her. Jacob Beaufort's spirit has been unable to crossover since his death several months ago. It might have something to do with the fact he was murdered. Or it might not. All he knows is, he has been assigned by the Otherworld's administrators to a girl named Emily. A girl who can see and touch him. A girl who released a shape-shifting demon into the mortal realm. Together they must send the demon back before it wreaks havoc on London. It should be a simple assignment, but they soon learn there's nothing simple when a live girl and a dead boy fall in love. THE MEDIUM is the first book in the Emily Chambers Spirit Medium trilogy. Yes, that's *trilogy* - meaning not everything will be wrapped up nicely at the end of The Medium. There are 2 more books after it, both of which are published. Check out my website for details.

But, at some point, the frozen barriers between isolation and the outside have to be broken; she soon realizes that someone else is out there, a simple dream telling her she wasn't truly alone. And once she meets the other HallowFrost, things will only elevate from there.

Faithless by devour-me

"...and a little bird told me our king has been spending too much time in Purgatory, meeting with certain archangels." I was sure I didn't hear him correctly. "Lucifer and the archangels? Purgatory? I'll entertain your insanity, carry on." I tried not to laugh, crossing my arms over my chest. "He's there... you can't locate him even if you try, but I know. And there are too many angels there, living angels." Callum said. "They're hiding something, Ian. Deep enough in Purgatory that it's impossible to find." *** Megan had no idea she was the one being hidden... the one that could change everything. Caught between angels and demons, some more alluring than others, she's forced into a new reality that shatters the world she thought she knew. Who is she? What is she? *18+ - mature content ahead*
