Synopsis

Holiday havoc.

Nothing ever seems to go according to plan when the Iarion and Barlo travel at this time of year...

No matter how hard the elf and dwarf try, they always end up on the business end of a mystery that only they can solve.

Join the unlikely pair of friends on a trio of holiday misadventures in this collection from the Legends of Lasniniar fantasy series by the author of the Fatal Empire series, Jacquelyn Smith. This collection includes three connected shorts that take place between the prologue and first chapter of the World of Lasniniar novel Storm Rider:

A Solstice Tale
Father Solstice
A Solstice Feast

A Solstice Tale (Short Story)

Solstice Eve. An unexpected side trip. Barlo and Iarion find themselves looking for a room in the human city of Nal Huraseadro to take shelter from the snow.

During their journey, Barlo only seeks the answer to one question. What did his elf friend get him for Solstice? His endless guesses border on harassment. Iarion refuses to budge.

Despite the approaching holiday, not all remains peaceful in the city.

...And Iarion’s present soon becomes the furthest thing from Barlo’s mind.

A stand-alone story from the Legends of Lasniniar fantasy series. If you love a lighthearted holiday misadventure, grab this book. (Previously published as “Legends of Lasniniar: A Solstice Tale.”)

Father Solstice (Short Novel)

A Solstice tradition in the making. Barlo and Iarion return to the human city of Nal Huraseadro for the holiday.

This time, Barlo’s nagging guesses about his Solstice gift must wait. Both he and his elf friend plan to find something under ten silvers within the city itself as a challenge.

They arrive to find things changed since their last visit. But some things stay the same. Nothing can stop the pair of friends from finding trouble.

...Even on Solstice Eve.

A fun, holiday short novel from the Legends of Lasniniar fantasy series and a follow-up to “A Solstice Tale.” (Previously published as Legends of Lasniniar: Father Solstice.)

A Solstice Feast (Short Story)

A Solstice tradition continues… Once again, Barlo and Iarion travel toward the human city of Nal Huraseadro on their way to Dwarfhaven.

The dwarf and elf make an effort to spend the holiday in the city every time Barlo’s rounds to the other dwarven outposts bring them to the area. The trips consist mainly of banter and misadventure. The perfect way to spend Solstice.

Only this time, their journey takes them on an unexpected detour.

A fun holiday story from the Legends of Lasniniar fantasy series and a follow-up to Father Solstice. (Previously published as “Legends of Lasniniar: A Solstice Feast.”)

The Striding Spire - Modern...

Charlotte E. English

Fresh from an involuntary crash course in the Stranger Arts, I've a new mystery on my plate: the inexplicable reappearance of a particularly fantastic magickal species.
 
Which is great, don't get me wrong. Rescuing magickal beasts is what we do around here.
 
But the Dappledok Pup hasn't been seen since the seventeen hundreds; so how did we find one, alive and kicking, over two hundred years later?
 
And this beast has a talent for sniffing out treasure, no less. Happenstance? Maybe not.
 
Is there something sinister afoot? And what does any of this have to do with an unusually perambulatory tower?
 
Aided by a talking book, a spriggan with a taste for vintage fashion and the best Waymaster in the business, nothing can stop me from finding out the truth. Can it?

The Lycanthropy Files - An Urban...

Cecilia Dominic

If you like hair-raising mysteries, complex characters, and stories that blend science and magic, then you'll love Cecilia Dominic's Lycanthropy Files series.

Book One - The Mountain's Shadow

Life as she knew it is over. At the next full moon, the real trouble begins…

Joanie Fisher is one breakthrough away from curing Chronic Lycanthropy Syndrome. But when suspicious events sabotage her career, she's forced to continue her life's work in the estate of her missing grandfather. Deep in the Ozark Mountains, Joanie's research at Wolfsbane Manor takes a turn when a real-life werewolf asks her for help.

As she continues the search for a cure, missing local children and a chilling family curse collide. When Joanie discovers the truth, it may be too late to stop a devastating threat that could destroy the entire world…

"THE MOUNTAIN'S SHADOW is a complex, sometimes chilling paranormal. Author Cecilia Dominic has you so deeply involved in this story that you cannot put it down." - Fresh Fiction

Book Two - Long Shadows

This time, being true to herself could be a deadly mistake.

Lonna Marconi likes to solve problems. The hard kind. A social worker by day, P.I. in her “spare time,” she’s figured out how to handle her little “werewolf problem.” After a dose of wolfsbane, her physical body stays safe in bed while her wolf goes spirit walking. If only she didn’t have a mind of her own…

Deep in the Appalachians, Lonna learns a family secret that means she’s unique, even among werewolves. Now she’s pursued by a rogue sorcerer with poisonous intentions, other wizards who’d like to throw her in a gilded prison, and a band of ghostly wolves thirsting for her blood.

Worse, there’s only one man who can protect her, and even he demands a price: her heart. Even though his own may be forever beyond her reach.

Book Three - Blood's Shadow

The disease has teeth…but the cure could be deadly.

As Investigator for the Lycanthrope Council, Gabriel McCord went above and beyond his official title to keep werewolf kind out of the public eye. Now he has a new challenge as the liaison to the Institute for Lycanthrope Reversal, advocating for humans turned werewolf against their will.

The Institute’s controversial “treatment” is generally accepted – until one of the project’s scientists is found murdered at his desk.

The suspect list is long: purists who believe lycanthropism is a non-returnable gift; wolf-borns who want the cure for their own; and the ethereal Selene Rial, an Institute psychologist who’s lost her most precious possession to a secret society dedicated to the annihilation of werewolves.

If Gabriel fails to solve this case, the fragile peace between wizards and lycanthropes could shatter, and his friends’ lives could be ruined. But even if he succeeds, he has to face the consequences of his heart being pulled in a dangerous direction – a woman whose secrets could destroy them both.

"Book three in The Lycanthropy Files series, is a compelling page- turner filled with vivid descriptions and well-rendered characters..." - Romantic Times
