Delaney falls in love, leaves the monastery and marries. One year later his investigative journalist wife is brutally murdered by a contract serial killer known as 'The Priest'. She is one of many.
Delaney vows to track down 'The Priest'. He discovers his wife was about to expose a global plot known as The Renaissance Project involving the richest and most powerful people on the planet who pay huge sums to attain true immortality. The 'Priest' is their tame assassin (but Lucius Gynt is not as tame as they think he is).
On the confess-confess website Delaney's code name is 'The Monk'. His search for 'The Priest', and uncovering the labyrinthine Renaissance Project will test his skills to the limit and put his life on the line.

Coin Gambit (LOTM)
(BASED IN THE WORLD OF LORD OF THE MYSTERIES) Andrei Hayes's life was a different kind of hell-a slow grind of debt and disappointment. When he shatters a shop window to steal a strange, spiral-marked coin, he doesn't expect it to be a one-way ticket to a new one. He awakens in the body of Lutz Fischer, a cunning street swindler who just hanged himself over a debt he couldn't pay. Now, Andrei is indentured to the Harbor Vipers, a brutal gang led by a Beyonder who sees him as a disposable tool. To survive, he must embrace the role of a Marauder, using a thief's instincts and a scholar's mind to navigate a world of brutal Beyonders and cosmic horrors. But his goal isn't just to pay off the debt. It's to steal everything from the gang that owns him: their secrets, their riches, and ultimately, his freedom. In a harbor city steeped in corruption, a single clever man is about to upset the balance of power.

I questioned while furrowing my eyebrows, "I just saw a girl trying to protect herself." She scoffed, pushing her hair behind her ear and shaking her head, "you saw a monster didn't you?" "No," I shook my head sitting back, "I saw you. We turn into pretty similar creatures, why do you think we're in a cave?" I smiled and lit my eyes up yellow and watched her immediately follow mine. I looked at her stomach. "You aren't healing," I sat up. "I know," she said confused, "I don't know what's happening or why. He did something last night that was insane. He- I probably shouldn't talk about it."****Terminé

The Painting
"It took me five seconds to fall. The impact on my chest jarring my body but not my mind. I suppose this is the point where your life is supposed to flash before your eyes as time itself freezes - and it did in a way. But I didn't relive my life physically like walking through an old memory, déjà vu in each step. It was a feeling, something that started in my chest and spread to my fingertips, one so unique to me that it encapsulated each significant event into one single second." For as long as May can remember one mystery has haunted her world. A dirty window before her, the grim obstructing her vision, she has lived with a loss she can't identify - that is until one rainy night. Gradually the spots of dirt May scratched at for so long wipe away with the touch of a finger. But when she looks in will she like what she sees - or will curiosity kill the cat?Terminé
