    About this series

    _________

    No one who knew him would accuse Christian Richardson of being the sort of person who took the easy road.

    Stranded in the Moorlands in fifteenth century England, Christian must come to terms with the aftermath of his quest for vengeance. Embracing the gifts passed on by his father has put everyone he cares for in danger, and any hesitation to face the road before him could cost someone he loves their life. In no position to be choosy, he finds himself working with a secretive new ally who is more than what they seem. First, they must locate Christian's brother, Jeffrey, and from there everyone's safety will depend on getting the scroll his father had left them as far away as possible.

    Between them and their goal is a sect of magicians with a vast network of spies bent on claiming ownership of the scroll. Some are vicious creatures that make even Christian's assassin blood run cold, and leave him with no doubt that the Luminaries are both patient and deadly when it comes to dealing with their enemies.

    Learning the reality of his father's past shatters the idolized memories Christian kept tucked in his heart, and forces him to contemplate a soul-deep sense of betrayal. His desire for vengeance is replaced with a urgent need to protect the things that had mattered to him, even if that means confronting the shattered remnants of the life he left behind. Feeling as though there is always some secret waiting around the corner, he struggles to offer words of comfort while wishing he could receive some of his own. In the wake of such life-changing revelations, only two things ring true.

    He loves Paolo with everything his has.

    Life would never be the same.

      In 15th century England, Christian Richardson will do anything to find his father's killers even if it means dabbling in magic.   Christian's father is murdered by men who can't be killed by a blade. Only a child, he narrowly escapes with a pendant and a scroll that his father demands he protect. He swears vengeance, but his only clue is the killers' red cloaks and their sigil, a flame within a circle.   Forced to look out for himself, the orphaned boy grows into a skilled mercenary. Christian devotes his life to searching for signs of his father's murderers, determined to confront them. But despite his best efforts, his life isn't entirely about blood and death. A few like-minded souls manage to open the cracks in his heart, and he even finds moments of happiness with Paolo, a fellow mercenary who is also a scoundrel of a thief.   Then Christian takes a job where his target fights back with more than a sword. After years of hunting, his quest for revenge might be nearing an end. But as the trail becomes clear, Christian discovers the red cloaks are far more dangerous than he imagined. Their numbers are vast and some of them are the very nobles waging war over England's crown. There's even a chance not all of them are human.   Drawn into their web, Christian must confront more than a band of killers. These are ruthless people with plans and goals that go beyond a single act of murder. As he pushes forward, ignoring warnings from those who care about him, there are two truths Christian will have to face. His father's true legacy - the reason he was killed. And the fact that using magic feels more natural than breathing.
