The Graven Reach Snark Hunt

The Battle of Valithria

The Dark Empath Biku, Queen of Valithria and wielder of the Bastion Stone, stands upon the battlements of Triskelion Palace as Tirellia Hart’s rebel army closes in. Bikua has planned for every threat, every assault and every possible weakness in her defences. Every weakness, that is, except one: the hunger, grief and fury of the people she believed she ruled.

The Secret of the Spado Guard

Behind the walls of Caer Empathos, the Spado Guard are praised as loyal protectors of the Dark Empaths, but their devotion is born not from honour, but fear. When Gelderan refuses the ritual that would strip him of his freedom, his execution forces Ralia to confront Sanil over the true purpose of the Guard and the blood magic that binds the twelve Stones of Power to the Empath line. As the cost of loving an Empath is laid bare, so too are the cruelties that will one day turn obedience into resentment, and plant the first seeds of rebellion across Wonderland.

The 12th Sister of Caer Empathos

The 12th Sister of Caer Empathos is a dark and tragic tale from the early age of Wonderland, following Tirellia as she returns to Caer Empathos for a gathering of the Order, only to discover that the ruling Sisters intend to wipe out the city of Highmarch to crush a growing rebellion before it can rise. Torn between duty and conscience, and bound by her place within the Order, Tirellia is forced to confront the cruelty at the heart of the power she serves, while her unspoken love for Lara, daughter of the Order’s leader, deepens the cost of the choice before her.

The Graven Reach Snark Hunt

The Gravenreach Snark Hunt is a dark tale of blood, rank, and inheritance, following a young Miranda Snatch as she joins her mother, Lady Amelia Snatch, on a hunt in the wilds of Gravenreach. What begins as sport soon becomes something far more brutal, as Miranda is forced to witness the cold philosophy that governs her mother’s world, that weakness is expendable, sentiment is dangerous, and survival belongs to those willing to act without mercy. In the shadow of the hunt, the first seeds of the woman Miranda will one day become begin to take root.

The Birth of the Ethol Stone

The Birth of the Ethol Stone is the first entry in The Black Card Almanac, uncovering the ancient origin of one of the most powerful and mysterious objects in the world of The Heartless Throne. Set deep in Wonderland’s forgotten past, the story explores the moment magic was bound into form, giving rise to the stone that would shape kingdoms, power bloodlines, and cast a shadow across the ages to come.
