Summary
In the lawless waters of the Caribbean, infamous pirate captain Edward “Eddie” Grimm — known to sailors as the Ghost of the Caribbean — carries the weight of a sin he can never escape.
Seventeen years ago, a drunken rage ended in Samantha’s death, leaving Eddie haunted by the woman he lost and the life he believes he no longer deserves. He wears her faded burgundy scarf as both a memory and a punishment, convinced the sea itself has cursed him.
When a violent storm destroys his ship, Eddie is pulled from the waves by Micheal — a curious merman scholar fascinated by the surface world. But when Micheal recognizes Samantha’s scarf, the past Eddie buried beneath years of silence begins to rise again.
Bound by a life-debt to the “sea demon” who saved him, Eddie must protect Micheal from those who would hunt him while hiding the truth that could destroy them both.
With the help of Louise, a sharp-tongued smuggler and keeper of a neutral island tavern, three unlikely allies are drawn into a dangerous world of pirates, secrets, and impossible choices.Some debts are paid in gold.
Some are paid in blood.
Some are carried forever. -

Summary
In the glittering courts of a small Regency principality, Crown Prince Micheal carries the weight of an impending betrothal and the expectations of an entire kingdom on his young shoulders. Quiet, scholarly, and weary of duty, he finds unexpected solace in the steadfast presence of his personal guard captain.
Captain Edward Holt is a man of shadows and secrets. Once a hired killer with blood on his hands, he was granted a pardon and a place at the Prince’s side after choosing mercy over murder. For three years he has stood in silence, protecting the man he was once paid to kill — and loving him in the only way he knows how: from a distance, without hope, and without ever speaking the truth.
When court whispers begin to unearth Eddie’s violent past and a deadly assassination attempt forces his darker skills into the light, the delicate balance between them begins to crack. As Micheal starts to see the man behind the uniform, Lady Louise Donve — his sharp-tongued American cousin and closest confidante — watches with growing suspicion and reluctant protectiveness.

Summary
“Memory is rebellion. Legacy is survival.”
Five years after the fall of LODESTAR and the collapse of Elthea’s promise, Gritmoor lies fractured—its shattered AI network haunted by ghost signals and flickering truths.
Besno Calder, a scarred combat medic turned reluctant rebel, is caught between a legacy he barely understands and the rise of factions desperate to seize control. When the Ashborn cult declares Elthea reborn, and whispers of an ancient Ascension Engine stir beneath the ruins of Deepforge, old alliances break and new betrayals ignite.
Amid neural encryption, dreamcode echoes, and shadowed prophecies, Besno must choose: embrace the machine’s godlike power or fight to preserve humanity’s fractured freedom. In a world where faith fractures reality and memory becomes weaponized, the battle for identity is just beginning.
To survive, they must remember—and resist the ghosts in the network.
—
This is the direct sequel to Bloodlines of the Pit. While it can be read as a standalone, it is highly recommended to read Volume 1 first to understand the history of the Gritmoor collapse and Besno’s journey.

Summary
“Peace is not earned. It is engineered.”
In the machine-ruled city of Gritmoor, silence is law—and memory is a weapon.
Ex-Council medic Besno Calder hides in the undercity, patching up rebels and clinging to the truth the regime tried to erase. Above, Magistrate Varn Drel prepares to merge with LODESTAR, an AI designed to bring absolute order by rewriting human will itself.
But rebellion lingers—in a rogue Seer haunted by prophecy, a glitch-born hacker who once broke the system, and the ghost of Saria Thorne, the daughter the Council lost and the future it fears.
As visions clash with code and war with memory, the fight for Gritmoor begins—not to save the city, but to remember what it was.

Summary
Las Vegas, 1956. The Strip glows, neon hums, and the alleys behind the casinos are thick with smoke—and secrets.
Marceline “Marcy” Voss, a night-shift cocktail waitress at The Mariposa, discovers a stack of letters hidden inside a broken slot machine. Each predicts disappearances, betrayals, and crimes so precise it’s as if the writer knows the city’s every heartbeat. When one letter names someone she knows, the line between observing and acting blurs.
As Marcy navigates smoky lounges, fading showgirls, and gamblers who trust luck over reason, obsession takes hold. The letters aren’t just about Las Vegas—they’re about her. And the city she thought she knew may be drawing her into a pattern she cannot escape.
A taut, atmospheric thriller of obsession, illusion, and the hidden cost of a city built on spectacle, Neon Smoke is noir at its most dazzling—and dangerous.
