    Curiosities Series

    By Hayden Thorne and Danyelle Leafty

    ()

    About this series

    Impoverished and pregnant, a desperate mother gains the attention of a dark entity, and a wish is made on a cursed object. Wishes of a young woman for her unborn child might be innocent on the surface, but in the hands of a death-god forever hunted by ghostly protectors in every country, no fulfilled wishes come without a terrible price.

    And no one will endure the consequences of such a wish more than the baby whose existence is now inextricably linked to the otherworld. Young Emerick Sulzbach will have his future carefully shaped by a shadow world he can't see. Potential parents are dissuaded from adopting him. Hopeful young suitors suffer broken bones from inexplicable accidents.

    When Bohemia's legendary guardian wolves come down from the mountains for their otherworldly hunt, dark events spiral around Emerick in such a way as to reveal not one, but two entities shadowing his steps. Because in addition to an unseen protector, there are also those distant, mournful cries from the lake: seeking him out, reaching out to him from beyond.

    Eidolon is the third standalone novel of the Curiosities series, a collection of gothic fantasy tales about desperate wishes bound in cursed artifacts.

      A bright future stretches out before Arthur Summerfield when he and his sister, Jane, are whisked off to the continent by Jane's fiancé. Catching the attention of a wealthy traveler ushers the pair into an exciting world filled with new friendships, young love, and a darkly magical land of misty mountains and mysterious guardian wolves. While Arthur settles down into his new life in the town of St. Jude, Jane and Matus move into a centuries-old converted tower house fifty miles away. One that welcomes its new residents after decades of emptiness. And centuries of loneliness. The new residents stir the silent walkers of the house, their fates nothing more than cryptic entries in the journals of a long-dead mistress. As the house awakens, Arthur also draws the attention of Bohemia's guardian wolves, summoned to the town by their ancestor's calls. Past and present come together in a chilling montage of centuries-old tragedies, an orphan's brush with the occult, and a young man who suddenly finds himself the focus of supernatural forces. Alone, armed with nothing but his wits, Arthur must venture into the deepening shadows of a haunted tower house to save the lives of those he loves most.

      A disastrous incident at a ball in St. Jude threatens to undo Alexej Sauveterre, and his protective adoptive family whisk him off to San Marco, a mythical and romantic city in the water. Born sickly, young Alexej has grown up resigned to the fact that only his family's immense wealth makes him barely palatable to other gentlemen seeking partners.   The family's sojourn in San Marco at first promises a much-needed distraction to Alexej when his older brother introduces him to an aristocratic inventor of automata as well as an old school friend who now tours the European continent as a classical pianist. Baseless hope and heartbreak, however, seem to follow Alexej everywhere.   Alexej's fascination for automata and his hopeless infatuation with Briant Cousineau draw the attention of an entity from the otherworld, one that's been wandering the globe for unwary souls to claim through cursed wishes. San Marco's winged lion summons the city's supernatural guardians in answer, and in the midst of glittering balls, magical clockwork puppets, and lonely dreams, a terrifying fight for Alexej's soul darkens the streets of a fading city.

    I’ve lived most of my life in the San Francisco Bay Area though I wasn’t born there (or, indeed, the USA). I’m married with no kids and three cats. I started off as a writer of gay young adult fiction, specializing in contemporary fantasy, historical fantasy, and historical genres. My books ranged from a superhero fantasy series to reworked and original folktales to Victorian ghost fiction. I’ve since expanded to gay New Adult fiction, which reflects similar themes as my YA books and varies considerably in terms of romantic and sexual content. While I’ve published with a small press in the past, I now self-publish my books. Please visit my site for exclusive sales and publishing updates.
