A deadman larger than life. A demon with the face of an angel.
Two men thrown together in a world endangered by an ancient curse.
Is their unlikely union strong enough to save humankind...and each other?
Silas Mercer is a deadman. Or at least, he was.
Waking in his grave, with no memory of the life he once lived, Silas finds himself in the employ of the mysterious Order of the Golden Dawn. A secretive organisation specialising in all things supernatural.
At first, Silas is given little more to do than make a spectacle of himself. Amusing the cream of London's society with his terrible dancing skills and inept attempts at hosting séances.
But his odd new life takes a startling turn when the Order partners him with the scandalous libertine, Tobias Astaroth. A quick-tempered, dangerously beautiful man who harbours some hellish secrets.
This ill-matched partnership soon faces its first terrifying challenge.
A monster straight from a nightmare is haunting the woods of Leicester, and the Order send Silas and Tobias to end its rampage.
But nothing in this world is as it seems. Not the Order. Not Silas himself, and certainly not the incorrigible and utterly beguiling Mr Astaroth.
For Silas, the dangers that lie ahead are many.
But none are so perilous as the devilish man by his side.
A slow-burn gay Historical Fantasy series.
Contains: Sexual content, violence and rather a lot of cursing.
My first experience with this genre, and I'm hooked. DK Girl takes you on a trip into a different world. Fantastically written with gloriously painted scenes. Well fleshed out characters with smart mouths and loads of attitude. I'm hooked.
Wow! What a fantastic start to this series with two completely different and interesting characters. Silas and Pitch are thrown together against both their better judgements. If they don’t kill each other in the process, they will make a formidable team as they deal with supernatural evils that plague humanity, often without their knowledge. Silas is adorable and his efforts to find out who he is, and what he is, makes for an engrossing and often humorous read. Pitch is… Pitch – entirely unpredictable, often mysterious, and more than willing to shatter social norms and customs in the stiff-upper-lip of this Victorian setting. I loved the mystery and the gaslamp atmosphere of this story. There is a sense of much more to come with the novel’s end, both with the mythic expanse of the world and with Silas and Pitch, and I can’t wait to learn more!
Such a great read. "Upon his unexpected return to the world of the living Silas finds himself in the hands of the mysterious Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. A peculiar organisation claiming skills of the supernatural persuasion." I loved that we, along with Silas, have no idea why he has been brought back to life and what his purpose will be, and that this is slowly revealed to us alongside Silas. It's gritty and it's dark. I'm a huge fan of the supernatural genre and this does not disappoint. The characters, and the settings, are beautifully brought to life by Danielle K. Girl. I love Silas, and at first (just like Silas), I loathe Pitch, but this changes as the story comes to life and I find myself getting attached to the two, very different, lead characters. Highly recommended. I can't wait for book 2.
