His breakthroughs as aided by his ensouled spellbook so far have been enough to give him an edge, but the magical artifact has more potential Kole has yet to unlock.

Morgan's elevation to the peerage came with costs. He was tasked to find Jerek, the Master Assassin, and eliminate the threat, hunt down the bloody tentacles, and get a handle on the demonic incursions into the underground. Sounded like everyday work for The Duchy's Necromancer. With the Blackman house razed, Morgan must make some decisions on what to do and how to move forward with his house and his new housemate. Deciding the best way to keep Missy Blackman safe was to help her become stronger, they set out to do that.

Vampires don't exist, do they? That is a question Private Detective Tony Mandolin finds himself pondering as the evidence piles up in a case involving a string of dead redheads and the usual dose of weirdness San Francisco has to offer. To complicate things, Mandolin has to deal with the perception that he has become the latest golden boy of the fog city's crime boss. Then there's his cross-dressing friend Frankie....

All families come with their own unique problems, but when that family is a clan of Eastern European vampires led by an extremely wealthy viscount living it up in a luxurious, imported castle, only Tony Mandolin can solve the problem.

Absalom Scryne isn't himself. On the one hand, he's a well-rounded gentleman of a sentient hat with two beloved apprentices and a tagalong swordsman. On the other, he's a rather furious wizard sitting on the opposite side of a desk, demanding they give back his hat. Needless to say, it's not an ideal situation. And it's about to get worse. Because the battle between civilization and all the monsters of the Badlands and the underworld is about to begin.

Answers and vengeance are so close that Absalom Scryne can almost taste them.
