Gold Magic Book Two, 978-1938190582 The Hollows are a tinderbox. Rival drug gangs struggle for supremacy in the Orc dominated slum of Cymbeline. Poverty and prejudice keep thousands of Orcs locked in a cycle of misery and despair. When four Orc children are found dead in a vacant lot, victims of a foul Blood magic ritual, Simon Buckley and his Magic Enforcement team know they have to solve the case quickly before the Hollows explode into violence. Their investigation takes them from the mean streets of Cymbeline to the bucolic farmlands of the Grey Havens and ultimately to the Royal Palace and a secret so volatile that it threatens to destroy the Commonwealth and all that Simon holds dear. |

Silver Magic Book Three, 978-1938190827 Three days of riots have left the Hollows a war zone. The fragile racial, social and economic fractures that ran under Cymbeline have ruptured with seismic intensity leaving hundreds dead. Freshly promoted Lieutenant Simon Buckley is assigned to a flying squad responding to newly discovered bodies. But he finds that not all the deaths are due to simple violence born of racial hatred and desperation. Someone is using the chaos to cover foul murder. Simon’s investigation threatens the fragile peace left in the aftermath of the riots and leads his teams to discover a deeper conspiracy, one that threatens the very foundation of the Commonwealth: the Royal Family. |
