A WORLD OF
SECRETS AND
SHADOWS.
SHADOW NOTES Series | Book 1
An arcane Minister. A modern Knight. A world of secrets and shadows.
Reverend Emil Stone is a curator of forbidden knowledge. Misha “Puzzle” Kaslov is the Knight sworn to protect him. For centuries, their ancient orders have traversed the line between seen and unseen, guarding the secrets of a world most humans will never understand.
Their latest assignment draws them to the shores of the Mediterranean, where they must secure an artifact hidden in plain sight: a tablet tied to mysteries older than empire itself.
But subversive affairs are rarely simple. As rival forces close in around them, Emil and Puzzle find themselves caught in a web of violence, secrecy, and shifting loyalties, forced to navigate not only the dangers surrounding the tablet, but the increasingly fragile fault lines in their own partnership.
Because in a world of secrets, trust can be the most dangerous thing of all.
AUTHOR’S NOTE: Ptolemy’s Tablet is a companion novella to A World Apart (Shades Below, #1), but can also be read as a standalone.

SHADOW NOTES Series | Book 2
In the Big Easy, hunger wears many faces.
Emil Stone and Misha “Puzzle” Kaslov arrive in New Orleans on assignment, investigating a brutal attack that has left the city’s hidden world whispering in fear. Beneath the glittering lights and decadent charm of the French Quarter, something old is moving through the shadows…and blood is beginning to spill.
The deeper they descend into the city’s undercurrents, the more dangerous their investigation becomes. A figure from Emil’s past reopens old wounds and buried desires, forcing Puzzle to confront emotions he can no longer ignore. While their attention turns inward, something far more sinister draws closer.
Because devotion has a way of blinding even the most dangerous men.
AUTHOR’S NOTE: Thicker Than Water is a companion novella to The Devil’s Disease (Shades Below, #2), but can also be read as a standalone.
