Synopsis of Melusine

M...lusine-a city of secrets and lies, pleasure and pain, magic and corruption, and destinies lost and found...

Felix Harrowgate is a dashing, highly respected wizard. But the horrors of his past as an abused slave have returned, and threaten to destroy all he has since become.

As a cat burglar, Mildmay the Fox is used to being hunted. But now he has been caught by a wizard. And yet the wizard was looking not for Mildmay, but for Felix Harrowgate...

Thrown together by fate, these unlikely allies will uncover a shocking secret that will link them inexorably together.

I wanted to like M...LUSINE more. I really did. But the whole Book ended up being rather unsatisfying for me. -- Sue Burke, Fresh Fiction

M...lusine is a strong debut which suffers only from a lack of resolution so that the reader is left stranded like Mildmay, waiting to see what will happen next. -- Gavin J. Grant, BookPage

It may find a fan base among teenage girls desperate for another Interview with the Vampire, but it will leave most fantasy fans cold. -- Romie Stott, Reflections Edge
