Sinopse

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.

    Frankenstein - The Modern...

    Frankenstein is the classic gothic horror novel which has thrilled and engrossed readers for two centuries. Written by Mary Shelley, it is a story which she intended would ‘curdle the blood and quicken the beatings of the heart.’ The tale is a superb blend of science fiction, mystery and thriller. 
     
    Victor Frankenstein, driven by the mad dream of creating his own creature, experiments with alchemy and science to build a monster stitched together from dead remains. Once the creature becomes a living breathing articulate entity, it turns on its maker and the novel darkens into tragedy. The reader is very quickly swept along by the force of the elegant prose, the grotesque, surreal imagery, and the multi-layered themes in the novel.
     
    Although first published in 1818, Shelley’s masterpiece still maintains a strong grip on the imagination and has been the inspiration for numerous horror movies, television and stage adaptations.

    Some monsters feed on fear. Some feed on love. But in the sunken cathedrals of Velstrade, the most dangerous entity of all is starving for the absolute absence of feeling. 
    In the highly anticipated third installment of The Cathedral of Unquiet Beasts saga, Royal Anatomist Balthazar Blackwood descends into a flooded, decaying crypt to study an undocumented anomaly. Driven purely by empirical logic and completely devoid of human empathy, Balthazar is the perfect scientist. But his terrifying detachment is about to become a weapon of mass biological pacification. 
    Hovering above a magical fracture is Ursula Umbra—the Hollow Bride. For centuries, she has existed as a chaotic storm of weeping shadows, desperate for a human soul to anchor her fractured form. When she reaches into Balthazar's mind and finds a sterile, icy void, the starving entity adapts. She binds herself to his apathy, creating a localized plague of emotional death that begins to neutralize everything around them. 
    As their terrified guide succumbs to a peaceful, devastating cessation of life, and his brilliant, empathetic assistant Thalassa struggles against the creeping numbness, Balthazar simply takes notes. He views the spreading disaster not as a tragedy, but as a monumental scientific breakthrough. 
    Immerse yourself in a dark, atmospheric masterpiece of gothic horror and monstrous fantasy. The Anatomist and the Hollow Bride is a chilling exploration of what happens when the deepest abyss of magic meets the coldest extremes of the human mind.
