The Bandalore: Pitch & Sickle Book One

In Victorian England, the monsters don't always stay in the shadows. Some drag you from your grave and show you their true faces. Silas Mercer has no memory of his past — resurrected with only a name he doesn't recognise, and a summons from the mysterious Order of the Golden Dawn. Thrown into a hidden world of the arcane, the mythical, and the monstrous, he's partnered with Tobias Astaroth—an infamous rogue with a wicked tongue and a reputation as dark as his soul. As Silas hunts horrors across England's countryside, he begins to realise that the greatest danger might lie closer than he imagined. Tobias is infuriating, impossible... and utterly magnetic. But beneath his charm lies a truth more perilous than any monster they will face. When a chilling haunting draws them into the woods of Leicester, their partnership spirals into a nightmare of long-held secrets, dangerous desire, and formidable adversaries who don't take kindly to the Order's men getting in their way. On the hunt for the truth behind an ancient, angelic secret, a gentleman and a libertine will forge a bond neither of them wanted — and find a love that may damn them both.
