Summary

The first two books in 'Varangian', a series of historical novels by Stuart G. Yates, now available in one volume!
 
Varangian: It's the mid-11th century, and the Byzantine Empire dominates the world. Within the walls of Constantinople, debauchery and power politics are part of the lives of the ruling elite. Thrust into this heady mix is the Viking adventurer, Harald Hardrada. Life in the court of the deranged emperor, Michael the Fifth, holds extreme danger at every turn. Can Hardrada survive this dangerous place and turn his mind towards regaining what is rightfully his?
 
King of the Norse: Harald Hardrada wants to be the king of Norway, but General Maniakes has something different in mind for him. Using Hardrada as an instrument of death, he's not the only one who seeks to rule Byzantium. Bishops lie, soldiers fight, assassins stalk the streets and lovers lament. With few resources and even less time, Harald faces a difficult choice - and the specter of death is never far away.

    Pizza chef Delilah O’Leary and her kitty companion, Butterball, get into the holiday spirit as Geneva Bay, Wisconsin hosts the nation’s premier snow sculpting championship.

Suddenly it seems that the holidays may not be the hap-happiest season of all. And when a missing party guest’s frozen corpse turns up inside one of the town's snowy sculptures, murder threatens to put the celebrations―and Delilah’s crew―on ice for good.

    Night was almost upon her, but the chill in the air wasn’t just a physical one. Although the stones were supposed to protect her family and the village, she’d always found the place creepy. It was as though silently standing among them were a thousand ghosts watching her, waiting for her to join them…
    
     
    When Carole Templeton falls to her death at the cliff edge beside the ancient stone where her father died, locals fear the legend of the blood stone has returned with a vengeance.
    
     
    Dr Harrison Lane, head of the Ritualistic Behavioural Crime unit, arrives in Yorkshire and finds a community living in fear of the ancient tribal curse and the myth of a 17th century vampire. But when he sets out to uncover the truth behind the superstition, his findings unnerve him. The legend of the blood stone may not be just a myth but something much more sinister, and the Templeton family curse may be more real than anyone could have imagined. With his personal life preying on his mind, Harrison begins to experience dread for the first time, struggling to connect the threads of the case.
    
     
    As the sun sets on the stone circle and the shadows of the night creep in, Harrison must unravel the truth behind the curse and stop the killer before it's too late…

    Bah Humbug! 
    It’s almost Christmas and Detective Bunny McGarry is not in the festive spirit. His mood is not improved when an old friend becomes the victim of a violent assault and, for reasons he can’t understand, the police force he is a member of has decided not to investigate. Getting to the bottom of the case ends up putting him on the wrong side of some powerful people. How does all of this involve an Italian heiress who has disappeared? Why is the commissioner of the Gardai seemingly no longer in charge? And why is a certain teenage boy on the rampage swearing bloody vengeance? 
    Strap in as things are about to get seriously festive and the big fella is taking no prisoners. Some people have no appreciation of the fundamentals of the Christmas game. 
    The Family Jewels is book seven in the Amazon bestselling, critically acclaimed and numerically infuriating Dublin Trilogy.
