  .Every legend begins with an impossible choice. 
  In 44 B.C., Dacian king Burebista faces a looming Roman invasion and the certainty that military strength alone won’t be enough to protect his people. Desperate for an advantage, he follows his high priest to a place of ancient myth - a cave said to conceal the Mouth of the World, a threshold whispered to lie between this world and the stars. 
  What he finds underground isn’t salvation, but a terrible choice—one that could cost him his life, his legacy, and the future of his people.  As cosmic forces converge and loyalties unravel, Burebista must decide whether to protect his kingdom with the sword—or with a sacrifice that will echo through the ages. 
  The King Beneath is the prequel novella to The Stars Beneath, a gothic time travel romance trilogy set fifteen centuries later in what is now Romania, during the reign of Vlad the Impaler. It is the gripping origin story of a prophecy that binds Laura and Valen across time—and begins a legend written in starlight and blood.

  "Something old, something blue, something deadly what else is new?"It's a nice day for a white wedding. At least that's what Secret McQueen is hoping for, with her poofy-princess-dress marriage to a werewolf king looming closer and closer by the day. But as ever, nothing can be that easy for a vampire/werewolf hybrid for whom someone still harbors a death wish.Summoned to the south by her werewolf uncle, who makes no bones about the fact her mate bond with Lucas doesn't pass muster, Secret learns her furry heritage looks more like a tangled vine than a family tree. Getting her royal uncle's blessing hinges on finding one of the missing twigs. Even with vampire sentry Holden Chancery at her side, she manages to land up to her neck in a swamp of trouble.As an assassin's scope zeroes in, family dramas boil up and a fast-collapsing love square threatens to bury her alive, making it to the church on time could be the least of Secret's problems.

  Every lock has a key, every riddle an answer. 
   
   
   
  Jack's always been about finding the answer, the key, to everything, but his riddles and locks were always larger than the people in his life suspected. What holds everything together? How could the ancients' understanding of the elements connect to our modern understanding? 
   
   
   
  If Jack understood that, would it mean he could control them? 
   
   
   
  But answers come with consequences, and knowledge always has a price. 
   
   
   
  Jack's thirst for knowledge and his will to succeed no matter the danger leads him to discover that truth. When he makes his greatest revelation, his lab is burned to the ground and he finds himself at the sharp end of a very dangerous situation. 
   
   
   
  With the presumption he is no longer among the living giving him some breathing room, Jack must do the only thing he knows how. He must search for the answers. 
   
   
   
  What will finding those answers cost him? How far is he willing to go to get them?

  This is the very first story with the Conan like barbarian hero, Eric John Stark.  This is not the fantastical Mars of Burroughs, nor the hard science of a Bradbury with ray guns, but there are ancient alien civilizations all over the place reacting to the influx of humans. With a title like this, how can it not be a fabulous tale, eh? First published in Planet Stories 1949.
