Description
An arcane Minister. A modern Knight. A world of secrets and shadows.
Reverend Emil Stone is a curator of forbidden knowledge. Misha "Puzzle" Kaslov is the Peer sworn to protect him. For centuries, their ancient orders have patrolled the line between seen and unseen, guarding the secrets of a world most humans will never understand.
Their latest assignment draws them to the shores of the Mediterranean, where they must secure an artifact hidden in plain sight. But subversive affairs are rarely simple. As rival forces close in around them, Emil and Puzzle find themselves caught in a web of violence, secrecy, and shifting loyalties. With no one to rely on but each other, they are forced to navigate not only the dangers surrounding the tablet, but the increasingly fragile fault lines in their own partnership.
Because in a world built on secrets, trust can be the most dangerous thing of all.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Ptolemy's Tablet 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.
