This novella (Book 2.5 in the series) is a self-contained story and provides some background and colour for the supernatural clans – The Chord and Le Perjure – featured in Book Three of The Nude Detective Series.
A small clan of women with supernatural powers have quietly shaped the world’s destiny for centuries. A multi-generational rift between clan members pits Jaz, a young member of Montreal’s aristocracy, against factions seeking to create chaos by igniting the powder-keg of tensions between Catholics and Protestants. Jaz is forced to face decisions about duty to her clan, humanity, and the feelings for the man she secretly loves but can never have. The historical backdrop of this story has fascinating real-world characters and events such as an inflammatory exposé published in 1836 which became the world’s second most read publication after Uncle Tom’s Cabin. The authenticity of this publication is hotly disputed even today – did the events described really happen or was it fake news? |
Having survived battles with assassins and supernatural cults, Ethan and Marcy start to work on building their future as a couple. Until Ethan is arrested and his assets frozen. Old enemies from Marcy’s time on the police force are not helping matters and it soon becomes apparent that the driving force behind Ethan’s problems are far larger and more sinister.
