BOOK ONE: JACK OF THORNS
Florist. Psychic. Addict.

Laurence Riley coasts by on good looks and natural charm, but underneath lies a dark chasm that neither heroin nor lovers can fill. Sobriety is a pipe dream which his stalker ex-boyfriend is pushing him away from. Luckily, Laurence has powers most can only dream of. If only he could control them.

Aristocrat. Psychic. Survivor.

Quentin d’Arcy is the product of centuries of wealth, privilege, and breeding, and is on the run from all three. A chance encounter with an arresting young florist with a winning smile could make him stop. Laurence is kind, warm, and oddly intriguing but Quentin’s wild telekinesis and his fear of sex make dating a dangerous game.

When opposites attract, they collide.

Desperate to fix his rotting life, Laurence prays for aid and accidentally summons a fertility god who prefers to be called Jack. Jack is willing to help out for a price, and it’s one Laurence just can’t pay: he must keep Jack fed with regular offerings of sex, and the florist has fallen for the one man in San Diego who doesn’t want any.

If they’re to survive Jack’s wrath, Laurence and Quentin must master their blossoming feelings and gifts, but even then the cost of Laurence’s mistake could well overwhelm them both. How exactly are mere mortals supposed to defeat a god?

BOOK TWO: KNIGHT OF FLAMES

Headstrong. Telekinetic. Pariah.

On the run from his family, Quentin d’Arcy has settled in San Diego with dwindling funds and the growing suspicion that his gifts might not be limited to telekinesis. When he meets a psychic who can control people’s actions with a few words, his comfortable life starts to unravel.

Demigod. Oracle. Hunter.

Laurence Riley almost died killing one god only to discover that he’s descended from another. Before he can come to terms with that revelation, Quentin’s twin brother walks into his life, and there’s no way to know what his motives may be.

With great power comes great danger.

Kane Wilson wants to make a better world: a world in which psychics are open about who and what they are without fear of reprisal or hatred. With the power to control others he might be able to pull it off, but there’s going to be collateral damage.

If Quentin and Laurence can’t get to the bottom of Wilson’s plan, Kane will out the existence of psychics not only to San Diego but to the world, and all hell will break loose.

Hunter and prey. Which is which? Laurence Riley believed that he was nothing. He couldn’t have been further from the truth. Descended from Herne the Hunter, his own need to seek prey has long gone unfulfilled. Now it’s out of control.

Something ancient is coming to take Quentin home: a creature of nightmare who feasts on the flesh of children. But Laurence has seen the real monster. The one who is pulling all their strings from afar.

Only Herne can prepare Laurence to face an evil which far outmatches him. Their enemy wields the most powerful weapon of all, and will destroy everyone Laurence loves unless he can master the same power.

He must learn magic.

BOOK FOUR: REEVE OF VEILS

Vengeful. Telepath. Mastermind.

Frederick d’Arcy is determined to uncover the truth of his mother’s untimely death, so when he finally locates his missing brother Quentin – the only potential witness – he drops everything and travels to San Diego, but Quentin is embroiled in a different mystery, and Frederick finds himself sucked into a world more dangerous than he likes.

Dealer. Loser. Pessimist.

Mikey Brennan is an absentee in his own life. He always thought dealing in whatever his customers wanted to buy would make him a rich man, but instead he’s working real hard just to stay still. When he’s kidnapped by a hot British guy who only sees him as a plaything, Mikey must choose whether that’s better than going back to his own miserable existence.

Divided we stand.

With Kane Wilson threatening to out psychics across the city and endangering anyone who gets close, a deadly game of cat and mouse plays out as Frederick manipulates events toward the retribution he seeks. But in plucking Mikey off the street, he may just have found something better than revenge.
Maybe even something worth fighting for…

BOOK FIVE: PAGE OF TRICKS

Amnesiac. Heir. Warrior.
Quentin d’Arcy has evaded his father’s clutches for six years with no knowledge of what exactly he’s running from. Without those memories, he’s semi-capable of living his life, but there are forces stacked against him who are not satisfied with that outcome, and they are so very tired of playing games.

Captive. Pawn. Bait.
All Laurence Riley wants is to find a way to help Quentin uncover the past without it destroying either of them, but his efforts are ruined when Frederick re-enters his world and snatches him away from everyone he loves. Suddenly Laurence is nothing more than leverage in a game of cat and mouse which spans whole continents.

Absence makes the heart grow harder.
Quentin has no choice but to go to England if he’s to rescue Laurence from Frederick’s clutches, but the price is a confrontation with his own buried memories and a weakening grasp on his failing mental health, and if he’s to save Laurence he will have to face the architect of his nightmares.

His Father.

BOOK SIX: RITES OF WINTER

The Wheel turns.
Laurence Riley is slowly recovering from the torture he endured. A short break in New York should give him the peace and quiet he craves. But then Quentin goes missing in the worst blizzard the city has ever seen, and Laurence can’t save him alone. He’s going to need help.

Snow falls.
Quentin d’Arcy is a man torn apart by truth. When he’s abducted to a world that he can’t possibly survive, his nightmares are suddenly the least of his problems. His only hope is a man who has been dead for three years—Laurence’s father, Eric Riley.

Death claims all.
Quentin is trapped in Otherworld. Gods are brawling in Midtown Manhattan. Laurence is on the clock and down to one he must fight to save the one he loves before Quentin destroys everything around him—or, worst of all, himself.

BOOK SEVEN: SIGILS OF SPRING

We all fall down. When Quentin is accosted on the street by YouTube ghost-hunters with a crackpot theory about his mother, he writes it off as nonsense — until they kidnap him right off the street in broad daylight. Not even his psychokinesis can save him, but Laurence will. He must.

Except Laurence can’t find Quentin. His powers have never failed him like this before. There’s only one hope left: a stranger called Angela is willing to teach him more magic than he currently knows. Normally he’d write her off as bad news, but Quentin is running out of time, and Laurence is all out of options.

He has less than 48 hours to save Quentin’s life, and no price is too high.

The clock is ticking.

Sigils of Spring is the seventh book in the award-winning new adult series where X-Men meets October Daye.

BOOK EIGHT: SPELLS OF SUMMER

Learning magic doesn’t come cheap, and the bill is long overdue.

Rufus needs his student’s help to solve his parents’ murder, and after a year of tuition, Laurence has run out of excuses to put off witnessing the gruesome secrets buried in the past. But his vision only raises more questions. The mystery isn’t how they died, but how Rufus survived.

The only clue is a teddy bear nobody remembers, and it holds magic powerful enough to hospitalize Freddy, entangle a god, and hide a murderer.

Maybe some secrets are better left buried.

BOOK NINE: RUNES OF FALL

No storm bows to reason. Quentin’s trip to the desert with his chosen family is supposed to be two days of testing the limits of their powers. Instead, a violent storm looms on the horizon, and nothing will alter its course. The storm has a Nate Anderson. Demigod, supremacist, leader of a neo-Nazi Übermensch cabal… and father to Quentin’s latest ward, Mel. He means to take her home, and won’t let a ragtag group of “inferior” psychics get in his way. Besieged and outgunned, Quentin is trapped in a no-win scenario. No matter which way he turns, one fateful night will change him forever.

BOOK TEN: WHEEL OF FATE

The wheel turns.

Laurence figured he’d be planning his wedding as soon as he got home; instead he’s pulled away from his fiancé to track down Rufus’ missing mom. Worse, the last person he’d ever want help from is on his side, and Laurence can’t afford to say no.

Surrounded by strands of fate that rapidly became a web, Laurence’s only hope is to aim for the spider at its heart, but Vincent Harrow has been weaving it since before Laurence was born.

Trapped between two evils, neither of which are lesser, Laurence is about to discover that there really are fates worse than death.

BONUS: HAUNTED HEARTS (An Untimely Frost, Book 1)

True love is like ghosts, which everyone talks about and few have seen…

Basil Irwin is a mild-mannered arts correspondent by day, and burgeoning necromancer by night. The trouble is he’s yet to encounter a ghost, so all his magic could yet prove useless.

Jon Dwyer is a psychic medium, capable of interacting with – and even destroying – the dead, but his power comes at a price: the living fear him.

When Basil and Jon meet over a rumored haunting, they agree to work together. But when the ghost proves itself not only real but also insanely homicidal, Basil and Jon are caught in a deadly game of cat and mouse, and whatever feelings they might have for one-another have to take a back seat to a desperate fight for their very survival…
