  In 1884, in a history very different from our own, the world stood on the verge of war. Once again, the Russian and British Empires faced each other across the Mississippi. Then the first trans-temporal portal was developed on the Nayarit Line and history changed - again. 
  A hundred years later the Cross-Temporal Empire consisted of fifty-four parallel, alternate Earths. The death of First Leader Manek splits the ruling Council, and the Clemhorn family finds itself drawn into the struggle. A struggle not only for the future of the Empire, but for their lives; in a war that will split families and set cousin against cousin. 
  "The first novel in what promises to be an epic multivolume series" - Michael Cnudde (author of War Plan Crimson, A Novel of Alternate History) 
  "'Nightfall' is a combination of classic sci-fi invasion and imperial literature with a compelling plot" - Jo Niederhoff, The San Francisco Book Review

  The Alkahest By Honore De Balzac - Alkahest is a hypothetical universal solvent, having the power to dissolve every other substance, including gold. It was much sought after by alchemists for what they thought would be its invaluable medicinal qualities. The name is believed to have been invented by Paracelsus from Switzerland, who modelled it on similar words taken from Arabic, such as ‘alkali’. Paracelsus' own recipe was based on caustic lime, alcohol, and carbonate of potash. He believed that this element alkahest was, in fact, the philosopher's stone.

  Enzo Russo: I never thought after spending a week in Coral Pointe with my cousin, helping at his friends' wedding, that I'd be back in this small town. Life in Sacramento is already lonely, but when my mom finds out my secret and uses it to hurt me in the worst way, all I want is to be where acceptance and love are as vast and dependable as the horizon. The place where the most beautiful hazel eyes I've ever seen are only a town away. Evian, the gorgeous, funny, suit designer from Barrett's Port, has unexpectedly weaved his way into my life. The question is, can he mend this gaping wound in my heart, or will one pull on the wrong thread unravel my life completely? 
   
   
   
  Evian Skye: Young and gullible. That's what I'd convinced myself I was after finding out what my much older ex-boyfriend was really doing behind my back. It took years for me to stop blaming the hearts in my eyes for obstructing my ability to see the snake he really is. So when Enzo, a gorgeous out-of-towner, stops in my shop for a suit, I push aside any attraction for him, as I'd done with every man over the last few years. There's no harm in being his friend, though, right? The problem is, there's a sadness in his brown eyes I just can't seem to forget. I'm not ready to level up our friendship to something as dangerous as love. So why can't I stop dreaming about Enzo's embrace?
