Summary: Forgive when there is nothing to forgive, and forget when there is. Barbary Fleet, September 1890 Bodmin Moor, Cornwall, September 1890 Deaf since birth, Joe Tanner is destined for a life of misery in the workhouse until Lord Clearwater offers him a place at the curious Larkspur Academy in Cornwall. There, while adjusting to his new life, His Lordship challenges Joe to unlock the mystery of the Colvannick stone row. As Joe sets about his task, he suspects a connection between the standing stones and a series of unsolved murders. The problem is convincing others, and his obsession soon threatens his relationship with his lover, Dalston Blaze. Joe's determination to unearth the truth also jeopardises his place at the academy, but a man's life is at stake, and the only one who believes in the mysteries of the past is Joe — and the killer who is prepared to murder anyone who interferes. The second of The Larkspur Mysteries continues from book one, 'The Guardians of the Poor.' The Larkspur Mysteries are inspired by existing locations and newspaper reports from the time, and combine fact, fiction, adventure and bromance. If you have not yet read the preceding series, ‘The Clearwater Mysteries’, you might like to start with book one, ‘Deviant Desire.’ There are 11 books in the ongoing series including a prequel, ‘Banyak and Fecks’ which can be read first although it is not a mystery. To get the most out of it, you should read it just before you read book nine, ‘Negative Exposure.’

Grayson is the lone earth mage among those tasked to join and protect the vulnerable lord.

When Kierei hears more dragon kin, Grayson teamed with the befriended black dragon, will embark on an adventure that could bring them answers and so much more. Answers about the vile Blood Spawn army, about the mastermind controlling it. About the threats bearing down on the capital itself, and the risks those at the keep face.

When the time comes, will Grayson have the courage to accept the gifts the goddess has planned for him? Will he have the strength to trust what he sees right in front of him? Kierei knows the answer.

Summary: David Knight has been plagued by dreams his entire life, only to have all memory of them vanish when he awakens. Now the dreams are coming with more frequency, and they seem to be drawing him to the Amazon. A scientist with a PhD in ichthyology and a dedication to learning all he can about lungfish, whose existence dates back to the Devonian era, David is determined to see what the Amazon holds. His hopes seem about to be answered when Dr. Carlos Avila contacts him. It seems the Brazilian archeologist discovered the remains of a previously undiscovered species on a tributary of the Amazon, and he’d like nothing better than for David to join the expedition to see if more of the creature can be found. Of course David leaps at the opportunity and flies to Pesadelo Bay to join the mismatched team. Once there, he discovers not only does Dr. Avila have his own agenda, but a former conquest as well as a friend who’d saved his life years before are part of the team and are engaged to be married. Meanwhile, the need to sail up the Amazon to find what… or who… is calling him there has become more and more pressing, and David must decide which is the most important—learning what Dr. Avila really is searching for or finding the answer to his dreams?

Over the painfully long years their attraction and fondness for each other has grown to a near obsession as they can’t stand to be without each other, even for a short time; but still quickly end up constantly bickering. Following another brief disagreement they were forced to arrive separately at the Vasari Castle, Italy, to celebrate Carlo and Wes’ fated soulmate union. Shortly after being welcomed another argument soon began when Laredo spotted Jude talking to Vi. This time Violet Vasari had enough, and steps right in, magically freezing them both, then proceeded to discover a lifechanging event, long suspected by her. Days later, the party moved over to Italus Scottsdale, home of the Bart Magnus coven, to continue with another surprise celebration. Without warning a strange satchel comes to light that contains mysterious items involving the ancient Dia witch family. This unexpected satchel normally would only involve female members of the dynastic Dia witches, but this time is different. They have been responsible for a secret past and current devotion to the god Dionysus cult, who is now demanding revenge for an intolerable insult. Ages have past until the appointed time set by the eternal Fates, to right this terrible wrong. That time is now.

The cup must be located and returned to Dionysus to free him from his intolerable predicament, a responsibility now held by the Dia witch coven alpha. Laredo finds that much to his dismay he and Jude are on the hook to perform this dangerous request and are obligated without question to Dionysus. Laredo and Jude must locate the incredible cup and return it to Dionysus where an incredible reward awaits them; fail to return it to Dionysus, and they will slumber eternally alongside him without any hope of escape.
