A Boggart's Journey: A Talented Novella
A boggart, a hobgoblin, and a very bad debt. What could go wrong?
Gibble is a good boggart, and a good friend. When Barg shows up on his doorstep, Gibble knows it's up to him to drag the cheeky hobgoblin out of whatever mess he's gotten into.
In this whimsical romp through the Other, we see the origins of the debt (ok, debts, plural) Barg owes to Gibble, and see a hint of what is to come.
This book is a 12,000 word prequel to the Talented series.
A Drop Of Dream
All Emma wanted was to sell her enchanted teas in peace; instead, she's caught up in the chase for a killer who's stalking the streets of London. He's targeting half-bloods, people with limited magical ability. People just like Emma.
The police are baffled by the long string of deaths, but they're not willing to put in the legwork to make an arrest. After all, magic users can take care of themselves, right? Except, those with real power don't give a damn about half-bloods. So, when Emma wakes from a strange dream that nearly gets her killed in the waking world, she knows she has to deal with it herself.
With only her boggart shop-assistant and the two strange men who have offered to help, can she thwart the killer and make the city safe again?
A Dash Of Fiend
When Emma is approached by DCI Greyson to assist with a case, her first instinct is to say no. Still shaken by the attack on her life six months earlier, and balancing her friendships with a budding relationship, she'd prefer to stay clear of the danger.
However, circumstances force her hand and she throws herself into the investigation. She soon realises that her target isn't a mysterious creature, but a dangerous man without the slightest care for human life...
Can Emma survive the biggest risk she's ever faced, or will she have to sacrifice too much?
A Splash Of Truth
A boy is missing, and Emma needs to find him fast. The High Seat's request to hunt down a traitor on the Council will just have to wait.
When Emma's search leads her to the gritty underground where half-blood children are made to fight for sport, she'll require every ounce of cunning and skill she has to bring the operation down. She must not only mingle with the arrogant nobles who run the operation but finally face down the one person who means her the most harm - her sister, Aveline.
Putting off the High Seat's task, however, may be a bigger risk than she bargained for...
A Promise Due
The Guardians have made their decree. On the next full moon, all magic will be stripped from the world and the gates to the Other closed forever. Only one woman has the power to stop it from happening...
In the most magical book of the series yet, follow Emma's journey through the Other to complete a quest from the Guardians themselves.
A Festive Day: A Talented Short Story
It's Christmas. The perfect time to relax, have fun... and chase a cheeky Fae god out of a mid-winter fair.
However, it won't be as easy as Emma hopes to get out of this one. The Lord of Misrule is a trickster, and he's very good at what he does. Will she escape with her friendship with Harrod intact, or will she end up with a little more than she bargained for?
A Festive Day is a short story that links books Four and Five of the Talented series. It does contain spoilers, and a pertinent development for the final book. And, it's a ton of fun.
When Magic Fades
This is it. The final challenge. And boy, is it a doozy.
Emma must complete her two final tasks for the Guardians. The first? To locate and train the successor for the Horned God, so he may lay down his mantle and let a new generation lead the Fae.
The problem is, he doesn't want to. And there is one last test to be given before Emma has officially atoned for the crimes of the Talented.
With all of magic at risk, Emma must decide what is most important to her, and just how much she is willing to sacrifice for a community that has shunned her for all her life.
Please note, this is the fifth book in the Talented series, but there is a short story that comes before it chronologically. Please read A Festive Day before embarking on this final adventure with Emma and her friends.
