The last few years have not been kind to Rose. She has lost her husband and is currently residing with an abusive boyfriend. Furthermore, an enigmatic but very handsome man is stalking her. Ultimately, she finds that he is a supernatural being from heaven; or perhaps he has emerged from the depths of hell. Regardless, from his pointed teeth to his blood-kissed lips, Stefan is indeed a vampire, a creature Rose once thought only existed in folklore. He has emerged from the sinister darkness and come to claim her as his own. Stefan Hansen has seen the very worst of mankind. Before his transitioning, he had endured the horrors of World War II and the violent loss of his Jewish love. Thinking that the past was dead, he could not have been more wrong. And an apparition from his past was scheming to prove it with destructive intentions.

When small-time actor Will Shakespeare is arrested for murder, Kit Marlowe must find the real killer in this “intricately plotted” Elizabethan mystery (Publishers Weekly). March, 1587. Christopher Marlowe’s play Tamburlaine, with the incomparable Ned Alleyn in the title role, has opened at the Rose Theatre, and a new era on the London stage is born. Yet the play is almost shut down on its opening night when a member of the audience, Eleanor Merchant, is struck dead by a musket ball fired from the stage. The man who pulled the trigger appears to be a bit player named Will Shakespeare. Convinced of Shakespeare’s innocence, Marlowe is determined to find out what really happened. When a second body is found floating in the River Thames, it becomes clear that Eleanor Merchant’s death was no accident, and that something deeper and darker is afoot. “Fans of the series and of Edward Marston’s amusing Elizabethan theater mysteries, featuring Nicholas Bracewell, will enjoy Kit Marlowe’s part in the drama at the Crimson Rose.” —Booklist

Queen Felanya of Devora has never known defeat, whether on the battlefield or within diplomacy's twisting halls. Instead, her undoing comes when an accident nearly kills her youngest daughter, Etherea. Though blessed with the Lady's divine gift, Felanya's magic cannot heal the girl's shattered mind. With Etherea all but lost, the distraught queen withdraws from her kingdom, her family, and her faith. She orders the Lady's Temples closed, their radiant candles extinguished. For six years, Felanya's enemies reign. Devora's high council rules unchecked, fattening their purses and sapping power from the throne. Meanwhile, the Patrim, missionaries of the Lord, desire more than just Felanya's gilded chair. They raise a cathedral to the Lord in the heart of Devora, its shining spires luring people away from the Lady's darkened dome. Felanya remains oblivious until the birth of a new daughter awakens her to the possibility of hope. She rises, her faith renewed, and vows to return Devora to glory. But her enemies have tasted power for too long to allow a resurgent queen. The forbidden ritual sacrifice of a gifted child will summon the means to defeat Felanya, but what rises is something far worse. One does not kill the Lady's Chosen without consequence. As a deadly spirit of vengeance stalks the realm and opposing swords are drawn, Etherea stirs, her sight filled with nightmare visions of murder and fire.
