Quebec - letztes Bollwerk im französischen Kanada - war in die Hand der britischen Seemacht gefallen, der Kampf östlich des Mississippi entschieden. Kanonendonner und Glockengeläut trugen die Siegesnachricht über die Städte und Dörfer der britischen Kronkolonie Neu-England, bis hin nach Newport, dem wichtigsten Hafen der Insel Rhode Island. General Wolfe wurde als Held des Tages gefeiert. Doch galt der Jubel einem Toten, denn der Sieger von Quebec war beim Sturm auf die Stadt gefallen.

Magic and the Mob don't usually mix well. But to survive, Selia Lascari has made both work in her favor. Banished from her hidden island homeland and adopted into a Mob family, Selia has spent nearly a decade learning to live in the "modern" world of technology and doing legitimate business for one of the city's oldest crime syndicates.

With only her sorcerer’s powers and the swordswoman Corson to protect her, the Lady Nyctasia was forced to flee her beloved city of Rhostshyl. Solving riddles and casting spells, fighting pirates and helping escaped slaves, sword and sorcery have stood back-to-back dueling with adventure. But now, Nyc’s beloved city needs her. This is no street brawl, but a civil war, which Nyc must win...or all is lost!

A hit-and-run or something else? The district attorney does not like what she sees, and the police report is not conclusive.

Ranging over a number of upstate NY counties, a major drug network is uncovered.

Someone wants Catherine dead. Even worse - if possible - is that they also have two parts of the talisman she used during her days as the Lady of Death, which can turn even mundane items into powerful weapons. Long thought destroyed, someone has found the pieces, centuries later, and is determined to reassemble it.

Told from the perspectives of an ensemble of sinister and desperate characters - an assassin returning from his retirement as a medical college instructor; a young outlaw who fancies himself a lord; a master breeder and smuggler of narcotic beetles; a jaded mercenary captain; and more - it is the story of an expedition to a destroyed city to retrieve a relic on behalf of a mad emperor.

In her younger years, Catherine Woulfe was known as the Lady of Death...but those days are long past. Now, at over 300 years old, she is older, wiser...and painfully dull. Instead of using her necromancy skills for things like killing people and taking over governments, she now works as a private investigator, helping people find their lost treasures.
