1885 London, England Silas Mercer died once. He'd rather not do it again. On his return to the world of the living, Silas finds himself in the hands of the mysterious Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. The Order has London society clamouring for their services, with tarot readings, seances and exorcisms among their arcane specialities. Now they seem intent on making Silas their newest recruit. But they want far more from him than cheap parlour tricks. When the Order partners him with the scandalous rake, Tobias Astaroth, Silas's new life is turned on its head in more ways than one. Tobias is quick-tempered, dangerously charming, and far more than the man he seems. For Silas, surviving what the Order has planned for him will be a challenge. But finding a way to survive Tobias Astaroth could prove impossible. A slow-burn MM Gaslamp Fantasy series. Contains: Sexual content, violence and rather a lot of cursing.
