About this series
When the impossible stalks Victorian London, only one detective dares face it—and only two immortals can stop it.
In the spring of 1887, a murdered magistrate raises a toast with his own executioner—and moments later, falls dead by the same man's hand. Only one problem: the killer was hanged and buried days before.
Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson launch an investigation grounded in logic, evidence, and reason. But when the trail leads to graves that won't stay closed and artifacts imbued with forgotten power, even Holmes' legendary mind is tested.
Immortal, clever, and thoroughly unimpressed with mortal pretensions, Kalili and Faith move behind the scenes—until the stakes force them into the open. An ancient enemy is raising an army, and if Marcus Aedanus succeeds, death itself will become a weapon.
Illustrated in the classic style of the original Strand Magazine and woven into the expansive mythos first introduced in Godsfall: The Book of One, The Vault & The Vixen, and Embers of Eternity, this standalone adventure blends wit, Victorian mystery, and cosmic stakes.
Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Lazarus Conspiracy is a meeting of mortal and immortal—and proof that sometimes, the impossible doesn't knock. It kicks the bloody door in.

- The Book of One: Godsfall, #1
1
Judgment was certain. Desire was not Kalili has been a demon since the beginning of history—and she is very good at her job. Assigned to corrupt a future pope in tenth-century Rome, she expects boredom, excess, and the usual petty sins of men who crave power. What she does not expect is an angel sent with explicit orders to kill her. Faith is everything Kalili is not: newly arrived, rigidly principled, and bound by rules she barely understands. She should be an executioner. Instead, she hesitates. She doubts. And in that hesitation, something dangerous begins. As Rome churns with ambition, corruption, and desire, Kalili and Faith are drawn into a collision neither side intended—one that threatens not just their lives, but the fragile balance between Heaven and Hell itself.
- The Book of Two: Godsfall, #2
2
Heaven and Hell Have Noticed Kalili and Faith survived the moment they were never meant to survive. Now, the consequences begin. Exposed by forces far older and far more dangerous than either of them understood, the demon and the angel find themselves hunted from both sides of the War. Heaven wants Faith recalled—or erased. Hell wants Kalili controlled, activated, or destroyed. And everyone wants to know what happens when two Thirteens stand together. As ancient contracts surface, allies reveal hidden loyalties, and old powers move openly at last, Kalili and Faith are forced to confront an impossible truth: loving each other has made them stronger—and far more vulnerable. To stay alive, they must navigate politics they barely understand, bargains they cannot afford, and a destiny neither of them agreed to. Heaven and Hell are no longer watching from a distance. And the next move could tear the cosmos apart.
- The Book of Three: Godsfall, #3

THE WAR WAS NEVER WHAT THEY WERE TOLD. Kalili and Faith were never meant to survive—let alone change the rules. Now free, bonded, and fully aware of what they are, the last Thirteens stand at the fault line of a war built on lies. Heaven is unraveling under truths it buried centuries ago. Hell is preparing for revolution. And ancient powers who once moved in shadows are stepping into the open, demanding allegiance—or obedience. As secrets long concealed come to light, Kalili and Faith are forced to confront the cost of freedom, love, and power in a cosmos that was never designed to allow any of them at once. Allies become liabilities. Enemies offer bargains. And the line between justice and control blurs beyond recognition. If they choose each other—and choose themselves—they may have to tear down the systems that created Heaven, Hell… and the war between them.
- A Roman Holiday: Godsfall, #4
4
An immortal love story with turbulence, tailplay, and one very bad archdemon. Kalili is a demon. Faith is an angel. They've been in love for over a thousand years, dodging divine mandates, demonic grudges, and the occasional awkward prophecy. All they want is a quiet anniversary trip to Rome. Instead, they get jet engines, flirtatious stewardesses, an unexpected exorcism, and a vintage aircraft full of inconvenient witnesses. Set in 1952 during the dawn of the jet age, A Roman Holiday is a supernatural romantic adventure with snark, seduction, and the kind of chaos that follows when two Immortals try to have a normal life (for highly subjective definitions of "normal"). If you're looking for queer joy, ancient powers in stylish outfits, and a love story that spans millennia with a wink and a growl—this is your boarding call. Welcome to the Cassidyverse. Please keep your seatbelt fastened. Things are about to get wild.
