The Blade Within - Raike 1
Someone kidnapped the wrong girl.
Twelve hours ago Raike didn’t even know she existed. Nor would he have cared. That was until the only clue to her kidnapping lay in a cryptic note foretelling her death - a note Raike has seen once before. Now he’s prepared to lose everything to get her back. Standing in his way is an alliance of two mercenary companies, a city watch who cares more about stopping Raike than finding the missing girl, and an imperial general who had little to fear – until Raike came along. A gripping fantasy thriller that will keep your heart racing until the very end. |
Protected - Raike 2
One of the world’s best assassins left no trace behind.
Alone in an unfamiliar city, Raike finds his curiosity piqued when the body of a military steward is carried away. The only sign of murder is the victim’s last words: “If anything happens to me they’ll go after the commander next.” Compelled to poke at an imperial cover up, Raike finds himself caught in the center of the chaos, targeted from all sides, where his presence now endangers an old ally he has been trying to avoid at all costs. |
Cold Blooded - Raike 3
Things might've gone well … if they weren't ambushed on their first night.
When an unsanctioned mission to depose a tyrant king goes catastrophically wrong, Raike finds himself having to use every trick he knows to get the people he was hired to protect back home before it's too late. |
the long night - raike 4
Every career starts somewhere.
On his first major heist with the company of mercenaries, Raike uncovers a plot to betray them all. Under-skilled and with limited experience, Raike unknowingly has the fate of his whole brotherhood resting on his shoulders as he sets out to unmask the rat trying to bring them down. |
THE GENTLEMAN - RAIKE 5
Keep your enemies close.
One year ago, Raike was forced to target the Captain of the City Watch. Now he’s forced to work alongside him. With a supernatural killer on the loose, Raike comes to realize that his new partners are no longer investigating the deaths of their own members – they’re investigating Raike himself, and that maybe he’s the one the entire City Watch have been chasing for years. |
Kingston Raine and the Grim Reaper
Even the Grim Reaper can have a bad day. When one of Hell's inept devils scares the wrong man to death, the Grim Reaper and Satan are forced to cover it up so that none of Limbo's lawyers can discover the truth. But this simple mishap sets off a chain of events that brings Death face to face with someone who has the power to strip him of all his authority: a bureaucratic angel desperate to up-end the afterlife and rule with an iron fist.
If Death has any hope of saving mankind he must put his faith in the one man more troublesome than Satan himself: Kingston Raine. |
kingston raine and the bank of limbo
Nothing throws the afterlife into chaos quite like an impossible murder, except for listening to Satan’s recommendation to hire an outside investigator: Kingston Raine.
As soon as Kingston and his friends take the job they realise that they have attracted the attention of a secret organisation working within the Bank of Limbo, an organisation that routinely assists the rich and nefarious in Life. What troubles Kingston is that these blackmailers and murderers are more interested in how Kingston and his friends can benefit them, and not at all concerned about having every last secret of theirs exposed. If that wasn’t bad enough, Kingston realises that he is now ridiculously famous, and the entire population of Limbo seems to know everything there is to know about him and his friends, which now puts them all in immortal peril. |
kingston raine and the arena of chaos
Spending an eternity in the afterlife can be pretty dull, so in order to prevent the population of Limbo from going mad Death has introduced an inter-realm gladiatorial battle royale in a giant tournament designed to reward ingenuity and integrity. But deep down The XIX Games are about cheating as much as possible without getting caught, and where winning is simply an after thought.
Kingston Raine and his friends sponsor a team in the hope of out-thinking, out-stealing, and out-cheating everyone around them. And while they certainly have a few tricks up their sleeves none of that will do them any good if they can’t get their master builder to play along and actually build the golem that is supposed to win them fame and money. |
kingston raine and the starlight muse
Kingston Raine is at his wit’s end as he tries to protect the most dangerous prisoner to have ever escaped from Hell: a Scottish muse driven mad by one of Satan’s devils.
Chased across the realms by millions of bounty hunters, this muse’s fate is left in the hands of Death and Satan amid an epic political tug of war. Kingston and his friends do their best to keep the muse from turning against them, and for the first time in their lives their charm and great ideas are outclassed on every occasion. |
kingston raine and the lost angel
The world holds it’s breath as Kingston Raine and Joanna York are given the most dangerous assignment ever proposed: from a few scant clues they must figure out who, in all of Life, is the son of the Devil before Satan himself realises what the pair are up to.
To prevail, the Grim Reaper will have to silence a fallen angel once and for all, Satan will need to launch the greatest invasion ever seen, and Kingston will have to face the likely possibility that he's the one who kicks off the apocalypse. |
A God Among Thieves, Chimera 1
For thousands of years an ancient race of gods have ruled with bloodthirsty vengeance, and for thousands of years nothing could defeat them. Until now.
To the north lies an expanding empire of muskets and cannons which will soon reach the desert state of Moqara. To the east: deadly alliances and rising anarchy. In the middle stands a prince on the verge of losing everything he has to one foe or another, until luck brings a remarkable young thief to his doorstep. Against all odds, Kes has intercepted a message from the enemy. A message which could save millions of lives. But time is running out. In order to prove her worth, Kes must return to the front lines of war. By her side is Lazden Dadario, a war hero who once swore to protect her, and who has regretted it ever since. With them: Jadiro, a crack shot who fears being dragged into the war he's riding towards; and Saj, an escaped slave who will have to guide the foursome through the lands of his former captors. With no idea of who is watching them or how they are supposed to succeed, these unlikely companions must put their lives in each other's hands if they have any hope of evading the world's deadliest inquisitors and spies, an army of war heroes and slaves, and the war-torn world of A God Among Thieves. |
Shadows' Reach, Chimera 2
The land is in crisis.
A diplomat from Tryste arrives in Moqara with the offer of an alliance, only to be arrested for treason before the day is done. As he stands trial, the only man who can speak in his defense is murdered. But did the killer strike to protect a secret or to gain leverage over one of Moqara’s most powerful families? Reina Dadario, Captain of the Prince’s Guard, hunts for an assassin who was thought to have been executed by the Guard years before. A killer she had arrested herself. Beyond the border, the neighboring city of Eresdel falls to civil war. As a fanatical new ruler throws the region into unending chaos, Prince Andraz sends a spy to form a resistance, one which needs to act swiftly if it is to challenge the Empire when it arrives. But of all those sworn to obey his every command, what would the Prince have to gain from sending in Reina Dadario’s only son? |
The Allure of Fire, Chimera 3
The time has come for the Empire to strike at the heart of Moqara, and at the Prince himself.
After suffering a humiliating defeat in battle, two aristocratic officers in Carcosa’s army are tasked with a do-or-die mission: sneak into Moqara by whatever means possible, rendezvous with a spy embedded within the region, and recover the godstone hidden beneath the palace. Aiding them is a bloodthirsty barbarian with the strength of a god, and a merchant closely related to one of Moqara’s most powerful families. How long can they stay undercover before Prince Andraz learns of their mission? The cold war between Moqara and the Empire has begun. |
broken toys
Just because she disappeared twenty years ago does not mean she's been forgotten.

Soon enough, Josh, Anthony, and Amanda are faced with protecting the ones they love at the cost of everything they believe in, and they must succeed before another body destroys the lives of everyone closest to them. |
last words
Dear all paranoid Internet conspiracy websites: explain to me what the hell is going on in this world. Yesterday I went to bed and everything was fine.
Now there are zombies. The US is bombing everything in sight, the dead are talking back to people, and every time I try to head home I seem to end up going farther away than when I started! |
