About this series
Istanbul.
Coveted city of emperors and sultans, and home to an ancient mystery both men and monsters have died to protect. From the twisting back streets of Old City to forgotten Roman cisterns deep underground, Rev. Emil Stone and Misha "Puzzle" Kaslov follow clue after clue to unlock the greatest secret they've ever chased. Pitted against scholars, Sufis, clerics, and terrorists, Emil and Puzzle find themselves questioning the motives of their supposed allies… and their own orders. They soon face an unthinkable possibility.
Perhaps some secrets aren't meant to be uncovered.
AUTHOR'S NOTE:

1
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.
- Thicker Than Water: Shadownotes, #2
2
Welcome to The Big Easy, where monsters are the least of your problems... Emil and Puzzle's newest assignment takes them to New Orleans, Louisiana, but this is no party weekend. A vicious attack aboard a riverboat cruise has left the city in shock, and Emil and Puzzle enlist the help of their friend, Cyrus Alan, to investigate. Blood runs cold and passions run hot as a figure from Emil's past makes a play for his affections, and Puzzle is forced to face up to his own growing feelings. Blinded by his internal struggle, he doesn't see the danger closing in around them. Beneath the famous city's glitz and grandeur, there's something far more sinister than monsters at work. By the time Puzzle realizes the truth, it may already be too late... AUTHOR'S NOTE: This is a companion novella to The Devil's Disease (Shades Below, #2), but can also be read as a standalone.

L.J.K. OLIVA writes gritty urban fantasy in the Shades Below ShadowVerse. She spent much of her childhood exploring the creeks and storm drain tunnels near her house, and remains fascinated by the places no one notices. After all, that's where magic lives. When not poking the thing that lives in her closet, L.J.K. enjoys exploring the shadows of the San Francisco Bay Area and searching for faeries in every creek within driving distance. She hasn't found any yet, but thinks that's because they're better at hiding than she is at looking. She's still waiting for one to slip up.
