    Summary

    The house was freezing; Frank missed the heat of Shanghai. He missed knowing the fucking rules. He missed being able to walk somewhere, anywhere, without tripping over magpies with every step. This was not good fortune.

    Summary

    Lucien Vaudrey and Frank Merrick are barely surviving in Shanghai and have both turned to less-than-ideal means of making money. Frank is injured from the cage fights and Lucien is slowing fading with the unpleasant nature of working the streets. One night, as their funds are almost dry and they face eviction and the certain freezing on the streets that will mean, Lucien comes home and can't hide his unhappiness at their situation. Frank tries to comfort him and ends up trying something entirely new.

    Summary

    “I spent twelve of the nastiest hours of my life playing tag with a killer, around a marsh, in the dark, on my own, trying not to die. Esther came after me but she managed to break her ankle stepping in a rabbit hole, and when they found me I was half dead.”

    We all know there's only one place Esther and Stephen could have ended up on Romney Marsh.

    Summary

    “I don’t plan to be long. You should go back to bed, Lucien.” He adds, feeling a slight sting in his chest, guilt prickling.

    Had Lucien woken and thought him gone again? He’d need to work harder to prove he wasn’t going to just disappear once more.

    Lucien gives a thoughtful hum, one of his hands moving calmly to rest over Stephen’s hip. “I could, yes, but you see - my lover seems to have absconded with a rather favorite shirt of mine. I can’t help but notice that satirical choice includes fuck all else.”

    Summary

    After the mysterious deaths of his father and brother force him to reclaim his family’s power, Lucien Voreis—now Lord Krayne—finds himself surrounded by dangerous political enemies. He needs help, fast—but didn’t expect it to come in the form of Ste'phar Dae, a grumpy, pint-sized Force-sensitive with a rigid sense of duty and a deep distrust for aristocrats and former Imperials alike. Bound by an unexpected connection, they must navigate murder, political intrigue, and dark side threats, all while uncovering an ancient power tied to Lucien’s past—one that may be the key to their survival.

    As shadows gather around them, their unlikely partnership may be the only thing keeping them alive—if they can trust each other long enough to see it through.
