Tristanja, 1239 AD\nHaving lost her home and family in a raid, Meya flees east but is captured and abused by a slave trader before being sold to Lord Deminas, patron of the local lands. She’s forced to work as his chambermaid and discovers the Lord is as cruel as the rumours have made him out to be. 
Yet, he’s rather protective of Meya and punishes anyone who dares hurt her. Even when he drinks her blood, he goes as far as to use his own to heal her wounds. Meya learns the castle holds many dark secrets; servants regularly vanish, including all the Lord’s previous chambermaids. 
Meya and her paramour must ensure the same doesn’t happen to either of them, especially since it’s unclear if the Lord only desires Meya’s blood.

Rough Sleepers (Lunar Shadows)

Rowan, Nem

Dorset, England, Summer 1988. 
At the suggestion of his psychiatrist, Peter, a transgender man recovering from PTSD, returns to the holiday resort he visited as a child in the hopes of finding some peace and respite. It’s just like he remembers: the pebble beach and rolling waves, the fairground full of lights and laughter, the cosy caravan park. It’s a beautiful summer and Peter is sure he’s going to have a great vacation… 
But all of that is shattered when he meets a strange woman on a motorcycle, a woman who insists that this idyllic resort is the home of a lurking evil. Even after witnessing the murder of a girl who isn’t quite human, Peter still has his doubts. He looks around and sees only sun, sea and sand. He sees only memories of his grandparents and visions of his childhood. Where is this evil, if it’s truly present? Where are the vampires that are supposedly sucking the life out of people? 
Soon, though, things start to get weird and Peter decides he can no longer ignore it. There’s something strange about the town, especially the hotel on the hill that overlooks the entire resort: the Sapphire Deep Hotel. A luxury guesthouse for rich patrons, seemingly out of place amongst the caravan- and tent-dwelling visitors. 
It’s not long before Peter comes to see the hotel as the centre of the undercurrent of darkness, and the only way to find the source of this darkness is to go in. 
‘The Lost Boys’ meets ‘A Cure For Wellness’ in this queer adventure that is steeped deeply in 1980s culture, music and media. THE SAPPHIRE DEEP is a gory, Goosebumps-style mystery perfect for any child of the 80s, and the third standalone installment in the Lunar Shadows universe.

In every story, humans are the weaker species. 
They are defeated. They fall. They become cattle. 
Of course, this is absurd. In the real world, humans survive and conquer. They remain the dominant species. 
For Gyldan Crawford, this is a blessing and a curse. Working for a man who sells tools to regulate vampires and werewolves means Gyldan can provide for his household. But, as the only human living in the house, his choice of profession has always been a sore point... until his friends decide to make use of his position to fight back. 
Gyldan is forced to keep several plates spinning—one that makes him the perfect personal assistant to his boss, Albion Saint-Richter; one that supports his friends in taking down his employer; and one that keeps his intimate relationship with Albion a secret. He really doesn't have time for another plate to be added to his frantic performance. But when an unknown entity starts killing off Albion's competitors, the rumour mill starts churning: is the murderer a vampire, a werewolf, or a human?
