Where should I start?

With the prequel, The Devil’s Asking Price. It opens in February 1911 on the night Aldric Ainsley dies, and it sets up everything the trilogy pays off. It is out now, free to readers who join Astoria Bane’s list. Get it on the prequel page.

Can I skip the prequel?

We would not. Book One opens in the wreckage of what happens in the prequel, and it assumes you know who promised what to whom in the summer of 1911.

Is any of the series standalone?

No. Duncan Ainsley and Catherine Sidney are the couple in every book. The prequel and Books One and Two each end on a cliffhanger. The story finishes in Book Three.

How dark and how explicit is it?

Dark, and fully explicit. Read the content warnings and heat levels before you begin.

When are Books One to Three out?

They are coming soon. This page will carry each release date as it is set.
