I’m excited for the first two volumes of Emma M. Lion to be here! I believe Emma is excited, as well. Though she is somewhat bemused, and still deciding if she will forgive me for invading her privacy. But she will forgive you, reader, for having the presumption to read her personal journal.

“I’ve arrived in London without incident. There are few triumphs in my recent life, but I count this as one. My existence of the last three years has been nothing but incident.”

The Year is 1883 and Emma M. Lion has r...

THE DEATH BLEAK : For centuries he has haunted the nations, taking the blood gain further than any before him.  THE PYRE : His storied stronghold deep in the Forest of Naeethe.  AND I, EMBER : Sent by the Lights to stop him from becoming the one thing that all nations fear the most.
