Description
An arcane minister. A modern knight. A world of secrets and shadows.
Rev. Emil Stone is a curator of knowledge. Misha "Puzzle" Kaslov is a knight. For centuries, their organizations have worked together toward a common mandate: to preserve the line between magical and mundane, and keep the scales balanced in a world most humans will never understand.
Their latest assignment takes them to the shores of the Mediterranean, where they must secure an artifact of mystical make and unknown power. Subversive affairs are rarely simple, and this one is no exception. Emil and Puzzle quickly find themselves pitted against mercenaries, secret police… and each other.
The strains of their task and the murky nature of their partnership push both men to their limits. Will they be able to complete their mission, or will personal demons finally prove too much to overcome?
AUTHOR'S NOTE: This is a companion novella to A World Apart (Shades Below, #1), but can also be read as a standalone.
Reviews
A must-read if you like thrillers, romance and historical fiction!
5By (loser) ColHere we have historian/magician Emil (he’s the brains) and a knight/security/body guard Misha (he’s the brawn). We initially meet them in another book of the author’s called “A World Apart”. I was intrigued by these two guys enough to follow them into this “Shades Apart” series. These two travel throughout the world preventing mundanes (that’d be “us”) from crossing into and seeing the demi-monde (paranormal world) that actually exists all around us. Naturally there are bad guys trying to stop these two from performing their jobs and tasks assigned to them by the ultra-secret organization that they work for. Oh, add in the fact that these two hot guys are secretly in love with 😍 one another and you have the makings of a romping good time. You can download many of the author’s introductory books for free. Take it from me that you’ll enjoy the stories, the characters, etc.
