Summary
The vampires who emerged with the closing of the Fold don’t trouble the Geldstraat. Ketterdam’s rich live securely, with powerful wards against the supernatural built into the fabric of their houses and private security to walk their streets after dark. The rest of the city does what they can to keep safe, but the last line of defense for the poor, the helpless, and the unlucky are the Flames. Chosen by the University of Ketterdam’s Night Science Institute and sponsored by the city in the interests of preserving their labor force, Flames hunt vampires through the streets, accompanied by University-trained Wardens who strengthen and protect them.
Ever since Inej’s parents were killed, she’s devoted herself to a single ambition: becoming a Flame. But on the streets of Ketterdam, the future she dreamed of may not look much like the future she gets.

Summary
The war is over. The bureaucracy is not.
There are many excellent reasons to send a Gondorian princess to Rohan.Trade negotiations. Diplomatic outreach. A noble gesture of post-war unity.
Possibly even a quiet arrangement involving a marriage contract that someone forgot to mention to the princess.Lothíriel of Dol Amroth arrives with ledgers, grain, and the deep, weary grace of a woman who ran an entire city during a war and still wasn’t allowed to sign things in ink. She expected the usual diplomatic friction. She did not expect mud-slinging (literal and otherwise), misplaced marriage rumors, or Éomer King glaring at her like a badly translated poem.
He expected a new trade agreement. Instead, he got a princess, armored in courtesy and extremely unimpressed.

Summary
I'm writing my vision of what Season 2 could be. Jack Dawkins is out of prison, but not entirely free. He and Belle are waiting out the end of his sentence to be together, but when a stranger arrives from London with questions about Jack's past and Belle's surgery, everything they're trying to build is thrown into Jeopardy. This work is part of a series but can be read alone.
Eight months was a very long time to be good.
The governor and Lady Fox had given him an extraordinary deal, he knew that. One more year of service to the hospital and his penal debt would be paid. His record would be expunged and he would be a free man for the first time in his adult life. Furthermore, he didn’t have to stop his work as a surgeon. In fact, Lady Fox had made it quite clear that his skill in that arena was a key reason for this miraculous deal.
All he had to do was abide by three simple rules:
- Don’t go anywhere
- Don’t make any money
- Don’t be alone with Belle
