Sinopsis

Can a bluestocking and mathematician admit the truth of their feelings, or will a certain devilish element end a love that’s just begun?

Remote Cedarton Castle is haunted. That’s what her sisters say before Eliza Wakefield sets off to visit her recently married friend. The crumbling ruin is even more isolated and foreboding than expected. Its inhabitants, a small cluster of Lord Linfield’s closest allies. Moreover, all is not well with the Linfield’s marriage, leading Eliza to fear for her friend’s safety and her mind.

Mathematician Jem Whistler is a man caught in a trap. He’s in love with a woman he can’t have and owned by a lord who demands things he’d rather not give. Unexpectedly reunited with the bluestocking who owns his heart, he struggles to keep his attachment hidden. When the threat from Cedarton’s white lady increases, Jem and Eliza must work together to uncover the true nature of the spectre haunting Cedarton’s shadowy halls. That’s if they can keep their hands off one another long enough to investigate.

Dive into this tale of gothic mischief, medicine, and murder, and discover the Wakefields, four spinster sisters and the brother who’s determined to see them matched. A Devilish Element is the first book in the Wooing the Wakefield’s series. Readers of a delicate disposition beware, spicy shenanigans, chemistry, and corpses abound in this tale of Regency romance.

    Description: 
    The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe remains one of the most haunting and iconic poems in the history of literature — a mesmerizing study of grief, memory, and the slow unraveling of reason. On a bleak December night, a bereaved scholar is visited by a mysterious raven whose single utterance, “Nevermore,” becomes a refrain of despair echoing through the chambers of his soul. 
    Through Poe’s hypnotic rhythm and rich, musical language, The Raven captures the descent from melancholy into madness — a lyrical exploration of love lost and the mind’s torment when faced with the finality of death. Its imagery, cadence, and psychological depth have made it an enduring symbol of gothic horror and tragic beauty. 
    Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this rendition brings new life to Poe’s dark masterpiece, balancing the poem’s haunting melody with a performance steeped in sorrow and dread. While the text itself resides in the public domain, this narration is an original work and copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne. 
    Part of Timeless Terrors, a series devoted to resurrecting the enduring works of classic horror and the uncanny, The Raven stands as a timeless elegy to love, loss, and the unquiet mind — where the voice of the dead may yet answer from the dark. 
    Prepare for a journey through shadow and sorrow, where memory takes wing, and reason falls beneath the beat of the black bird’s cry.

    The Witchcraft Of Ulua - Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz 
    Clark Ashton Smith (January 13, 1893 – August 14, 1961) was an American writer and artist. He achieved early local recognition, largely through the enthusiasm of George Sterling, for traditional verse in the vein of Swinburne. As a poet, Smith is grouped with the West Coast Romantics alongside Joaquin Miller, Sterling, and Nora May French and remembered as "The Last of the Great Romantics" and "The Bard of Auburn". Smith's work was praised by his contemporaries. H. P. Lovecraft stated that "in sheer daemonic strangeness and fertility of conception, Clark Ashton Smith is perhaps unexcelled", and Ray Bradbury said that Smith "filled my mind with incredible worlds, impossibly beautiful cities, and still more fantastic creatures". 
    Smith was one of "the big three of Weird Tales, with Robert E. Howard and H. P. Lovecraft", though some readers objected to his morbidness and violation of pulp traditions. The fantasy writer and critic L. Sprague de Camp said of him that "nobody since Poe has so loved a well-rotted corpse".[3] Smith was a member of the Lovecraft circle, and his literary friendship with Lovecraft lasted from 1922 until Lovecraft's death in 1937. His work is marked by an extraordinarily rich and ornate vocabulary, a cosmic perspective and a vein of sardonic and sometimes ribald humor. 
    Of his writing style, Smith stated: "My own conscious ideal has been to delude the reader into accepting an impossibility, or series of impossibilities, by means of a sort of verbal black magic, in the achievement of which I make use of prose-rhythm, metaphor, simile, tone-color, counter-point, and other stylistic resources, like a sort of incantation."
