Beschreibung

‘The Discarded Chapter and other stories’ is a collection of eight diverse and original tales, all published here for the first time. These stories span geographies, eras and realities, from East Anglia to Ukraine to Central Africa; the 1970s to a post-industrial future; and the material realm to the otherworld and afterlife. They explore a variety of human relationships, but with common threads: these characters are in thrall to the past and compelled by circumstances to confront awkward truths.

    Fanged trouble comes to the magical small town of Crimson Cove. Who's getting bitten? 
     
     
     
    How did the werewolf lose his head? 
     
     
     
    No, it's not a joke. Crimson Cove is awash with warring werewolves. And I'm not purring. Werewolves mean trouble. 
     
     
     
    And then there's the continued invasion of non-magicals. Why are they here? How do they keep sneaking in? It's another thing that has my fluffy murder mittens twitching. 
     
     
     
    When top werewolf negotiator, Emron Laker, loses his head, the trouble bubbles and risks boiling over as werewolves rampage and demand justice, putting my wonderful witch and all the non-magicals at risk. 
     
     
     
    As reluctant as I am to put my witch in harm's way, we want the werewolves gone, so offer our services as part of our animal control duties to sniff out the killer (well, I'll do the sniffing!) 
     
     
     
    We find troubled packs, unhappy bonds, and a den of issues to hunt through. Things are about to get frisky. Want to tag along and see what clues we discover?

    Koorko was neither born on Earth nor in interspace, not quite a man or a god. An animal with certain flaws, his warm appearance masked a deformed mind and heart. He was a mysterious figure, adapting his persona to fit those he mocked. For centuries, he existed until his presence in Greece led to the deaths of 75 million people worldwide. Once considered a myth, the truth about Koorko, the demonic immortal-poultry-man, emerged—he was responsible for the death of the 'Moral King.' However, Harry harbors a secret of his own: within his bloodline lies the power to bring 'Ka-Koorko the Demonic' to justice.

    The lovers will reawaken. 
    Augustus Labienus Triarius has finally gained his own ship amongst his family’s pirate fleet. The man with one blue eye, one brown is ready for the war against an old foe. But he’s inexplicably drawn to the kingdom of Perean, called by visions of the woman with one brown eye and one blue. 
    Selene Marinea has grown accustomed to life as Princess Alexandra’s handmaiden and whipping dog. The girl with mismatched eyes has no illusions of escape from Perean. King Orestis Vidalatos has owned her since birth, and what he owns, he keeps. Until the day the castle’s most guarded prisoner turns to Selene for help.The true heir will be revealed. 
    After decades in captivity and broken to the point of disfigurement, the true and assumed-dead king of Perean makes two requests of Selene: find the one for whom she was prophesied, and together, find the child he safely hid. But King Orestis has no intention of giving up his throne. Nor will he allow Selene to escape and locate the heir no one has ever found. He knows the prophecy well, and once he has her mate in hand, he can finally drop them both into the fires of the Ethereal Mountain. Gods will or not, he will end the Lovers' threat to find the heir and put him or her in their rightful place on the throne.Fate won’t be undone. 
    Augustus and Selene are swept into a dangerous adventure through monster-filled seas and across treacherous lands. All the while discovering why fate brought them together, and who they’ve been to each other in multiple reincarnations. Most of all, why a prophecy deems them responsible for returning the rightful king on threat of never seeing their twenty-first year. If King Orestis has his way, they won’t see another life at all.
