Ordinary World
Cristina’s time has almost come. When Rose has her baby and her vampire assistant gets to run the bakery, things are going to change. It’s just too bad that Takehiko won’t cooperate with her perfectly reasonable plan for a supply of fresh blood, and her best romantic prospect in decades was a figment of her imagination. Wasn’t he?
The Silver Bullet Gambit
The first time the employees of Stake Inc. tangled with the tenants of 7C, it almost put the urban vampire-hunting company out of business. Now they’re rebranding. Clare was the one who got them into trouble that time, but she’s been offered a second chance. She just has to decide whether or not it’s worth the risk to take it. In the meantime, she has the question of her possible fairy heritage to sort out … and then there’s this scavenger hunt … This is the fourth instalment of the 7C Stories. The others, in order, are The Tenants of 7C, The Siege of 7C, and 7C Goes Down.
Midsummer Under the Hill
Rose White opened the Heaven and Earth Bakery to cater to Toronto’s underground population of supernatural Others, and business is good. It is Midsummer’s Eve, and as usual she has a catering contract for the Sidhe ball. Travelling with her to the festivities—with strict instructions not to eat the food—are Nick, her werewolf delivery boy, Cristina, her vampire assistant baker, and John, their entirely human case worker from the Office of Other Affairs. None of them is remotely prepared for what awaits them.
The Siege of 7C
When you live in an apartment where the rooms move around, with a faun and a yokai as roommates, fantasy role-playing games aren’t as exciting as they used to be. But a solid knowledge of the game manuals may come in handy when confronted with a flock of otherworldly pigeons. Better that than feeding them magical cake, anyway. Nick, Takehiko, and Yiannis, the tenants of 7C, return in a second adventure. This time with 100% more disgusting avian peril.
The House of the Red Balconies
Hylas has come to the island of Tykanos to build an aqueduct. He is not interested in the island’s main attraction: the pleasure houses where polished courtesans both female and male offer tea and elegant conversation. Until he finds himself renting a room in one of the tea houses and meeting his neighbour, the courtesan Zo. Over breakfasts in Zo’s garden, the two men strike up a friendship that transforms the isolation of their lives. But Hylas’s aqueduct project is threatened by bureaucratic delays, and Zo needs to secure a rich patron to help support his failing house. Just when they have begun to hope that they have found a home together, will the world force them apart?
7C Goes Down
Brianna thought she was just doing a good turn, helping out a (very cute) elf knight who was attacked in the parking lot behind the dumpsters. She had no idea it would end with her mother being challenged to a duel. Fortunately, Nick, the werewolf delivery boy from Heaven & Earth Bakery, arrives to save the day. Sort of.
Till Human Voices Wake Us
Love and duty come in many guises ... When everything falls apart around Raphael, he starts over anew. As an immortal mage responsible for our world’s magic, this has happened more times than he cares to count. He no longer finds it exciting. In a modern London where magic hides around every corner, he awaits the end of the Great Game, a magical contest he is playing with the enchantress Circe. The Game’s prize is the world’s magic, and its price almost certainly Armageddon. Win or lose, Raphael is willing to sacrifice his power, his soul, and his life to prevent the end of the world. His heart doesn’t even enter his calculations. Three days before the crux of the Game his long-lost brother comes to find him—and along with unwelcoming memories brings a gift far more dangerous than any enemy: hope. Till Human Voices Wake Us is a retelling of the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, a story where love, like duty, like Raphael himself, has many unexpected faces. Keywords: contemporary fantasy, mythological retellings, literary fantasy, mythopoeic fantasy, Orpheus and Eurydice, Greek myths
Ivy vs. Elm
When a fairy enforcer challenges him at an arcade game, Nick anticipates an easy win. He doesn’t expect to end up inside the game himself, running for his life from carnivorous vines and wooden thugs. There’s also a dragon who bears him a grudge for some reason, a guy who wants to prove he’s the Alpha of the neighbourhood, and a question everyone seems to want answered: “What happened to Catalogue Number 519?” It’s all a bit much for a part-time wolf to take.
The Tenants of 7C
On a back alley in Toronto’s Kensington Market, above the Heaven & Earth Bakery, there’s an apartment with a room for rent. The rent is negotiable. The location varies. Humans need not apply. Clare is human. Definitely human. But she’s got a job to do—staging fake vampire hunts for high-paying tourists with Stake, Inc.—and the young tenants of apartment 7C are weird enough that one of them might be a good candidate for the gig. Clare has already sourced the fake blood. But if magic is real, and so are the bakery’s otherworldly customers … Clare is in deeper than she knows. And it’s not just her soul at stake.
