  “Love is a luxury, my lord, one I simply cannot afford. When survival is of the utmost priority, one cannot simply go haring off after dreams.” 
  The Isle of Eidolon, 1812 
  Much like a page from a novel, the rich foreign lord is smitten at first sight with the beautiful housemaid. Theodora Maccowen simply never thought it would happen to her. Yet, Lord Rhidian Ríoga wants her as a wife, and what a lord wants? 
  He gets. 
  Whisked away to her new husband's home in the frigid far north, Theodora discovers Síochara House is more palace than manor and far grander than her wildest imagination could have conjured. Yet a darkness lingers within its magnificent halls that the dwindling winter sunlight cannot seem to dispel. Secrets lurk in every corner, the truth twisting and changing as much as the rooms and corridors do. 
  Plagued by dreams of monsters and occurrences which defy all rationality, with each passing day, the reality of Theodora’s situation grows ever more dire. Even her husband, whom she thought to be her ally, conceals as much as his house and people do. With nowhere to turn, she is caught between the struggle to be the perfect lady wife and her growing terror of what ought to be home... and the beasts she is certain dwell within. 
  For fans of The Invitation, Crimson Peak, and Raise the Blood, The Realm of Endless Night: The Secrets of Eidolon is a standalone dark and spicy gothic historical fantasy romance set in the Regency era and is part of the Otherkind Universe. This book is intended for mature audiences only. For more information regarding tropes and content, please visit the author's website.

  Jessie Douglas Kerruish was born in Seaton Carew, Hartlepool, County Durham in 1884. 
   
  Little is known about the author’s life and to a large extent her work remains either neglected or out of favour. 
   
  Her literary career got off to a very bright start in 1917 when she won the Hodder & Stoughton First Novel Prize for ‘Miss Haroun Al-Raschid’.  Five years later came her seminal work ‘The Undying Monster’, which today is still regarded as a macabre werewolf classic. 
   
  Throughout her career she contributed short stories to such popular periodicals as Novel, Lady's and Weekly Tale-Teller.  One of the best was ‘The Wonderful Tune’ and whilst the title sounds light and airy her dark imagination riddles the narrative.  Many of her works were set in exotic locations from North Africa to the Middle East. 
   
  Her output was small, limited to two collections of short stories and several novels. 
   
  During the 1930’s severe and debilitating migraines prevented her from working for any length of time and all she could muster was contributions to anthologies. 
   
  Jessie Douglas Kerruish died in Hove, Sussex in 1949, in obscurity.

  Some men fear the dark. Asher Alder sells the light that keeps it at bay. 
  Asher is a master alchemist, peddling luminous oils to frightened villagers living on the edge of the uncanny woods. But his unparalleled bravery on the monster-haunted roads is not born of courage—it is born of an absolute, chilling emptiness. Asher feels no terror, no grief, and no love. He is a perfectly calibrated machine, traveling the continent to harvest the world's most terrifying beasts for profit. 
  In Tears in the Void, the breathtaking second volume of The Covenant of Quiet Beasts, a whispered rumor sends Asher deep into an abandoned, fog-choked valley in search of a legendary creature. It is a towering entity of pure, suffocating shadow—a beast that extinguishes flames simply by drawing near and devours the ambient moonlight. 
  Armed with volatile chemical explosives and heavy iron traps, Asher expects to face a ruthless apex predator. Instead, what he finds in the ruined cobblestone square will shatter his mechanical understanding of the world. The shadow-beast is not hunting; it is mourning. And as the creature's agonizing, earth-shattering grief washes over the dead valley, Asher is forced to confront the terrifying void within his own chest. 
  How do you kill a monster that possesses more of a heart than you do? 
  Immerse yourself in John Newbill’s dark, atmospheric world—a gothic fantasy masterpiece that blurs the line between man, beast, and the lingering echoes of love.
