But in his attempts to escape, Ryland has left a trail of sinking ships in his wake. Luckily for him, the world has finally begun to evolve, and with the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte has come the rise of the airship, the only type of vessel that Ryland has a chance of fleeing on. However, none of these ships had yet to reach the West Indies… until one night one does. Emmeline Whittock is the only woman on board the airship the Nyx, and the only one wearing a jacket stained with her brother’s blood. After fleeing from her murderous fiancé and the threats of Napoleon’s army, the Nyx is blown off course and lands in the West Indies, a place they very much shouldn’t be. When attacked by pirates, one man comes to save the day—Ryland, who Emmeline feels a pull towards, even against her better judgment. Agreeing to take him on board, Emmeline and the crew assume their trip will be easy, not realizing that in every rippling wave and growing storm is the wrath of a sea witch, hunting for the man who wasn’t supposed to leave the islands. Against the backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars and crossing the seas from the Caribbean to New Orleans to Venice, Ryland and Emmeline will both come to learn that betrayals can run deep but love can run deeper, lasting beyond a lifetime. In A Cursed Age, fates will realign, hearts will be broken, and the future of the world will rest in the hands of a very vexed pirate and a misfit crew with everything to lose.

Calix Addington, Earl of Batherton, has a complicated relationship with his friend and former classmate, Lawton Adler. Lawton’s tendency to attract, and often cause, trouble leaves Calix sometimes holding the bag (which definitely happens). Calix is also harboring a secret – he’s an Oracle, like his mother, and in a world where small magic is meant for aesthetics and convenience, larger displays of magic are frowned upon, sometimes illegal, and very much what the church and several important organizations fear. When Calix is stuck with a strange book after Lawton’s shady dealings go wrong one spring morning, he takes shelter in Ethaniel Harkness’s magical tailoring shop. Calix and Ethaniel know each other as customer and tailor, but Ethaniel’s kind heart won’t let Calix stay in danger. As Calix hears the strange book speak in his mind, Ethaniel contacts his old flame Aubrey Lavigne. Aubrey’s expertise with magical objects as the curator for the Magnificus Collectio, an archive hidden behind a tourist trap museum, will be key to understanding what this book truly is. Magic, love, lust, fear, and danger run rampant as this strange book becomes the catalyst for a much larger plot conducted by a secret sect known as The Golden Order. With The Golden Order giving chase to retrieve the book, Calix, Ethaniel, and Aubrey’s lives tangle and they must flee the city to separate Calix from the book, shake off their pursuers, and find time for their burgeoning attractions. COUP DE COEUR has deep roots in the real-life queer history of New York City, but also in art and culture.

After the tragic consequences and betrayals of Coup de Coeur, Calix, Aubrey, Ethaniel, and Lawton are now trapped in Rosehill, the ancestral home where Calix spent many summers with his mother, Lily Addington. While the walls of Rosehill are closely protected by wards and other defenses, the house contains many memories, some of which Calix would rather forget. But Rosehill’s secrets — and his mother’s — are about to come to light. And the question of who his mother really was forces Calix to understand more about her and himself. Are Oracle powers truly destructive, as Lily claimed, or was she seeking something else? And the demimonde, a strange realm between realms, beckons with curled finger...and it’s aimed directly at Ethaniel. The lure of that unknown place, and its power, is embedded deep in Harkness family history; a history full of death, destruction, and exile. Ethaniel was warned long ago by his father that his mother’s family would always try to claim him, but he is discovering the demimonde is a far more tempting, and frightening, siren. While Aubrey tries to hold them all together and protect those closest to him with his own abilities, his personal demons are threatening to burst forth. Can he keep Calix and Ethaniel safe while finding a way to defeat the Golden Order? It feels impossible, and yet he must do it. Failure is not an option.
