No memory. No pulse. No clue. The undead private eye everybody calls “Braineater Jones” has an axe to grind. Somebody plugged him and dumped his corpse in a swimming pool. Worse yet, his memory’s gone. He has no idea who killed him or why. But he’s damn sure going to find out. With a smartass severed head as a partner, Jones hangs up his shingle in the city’s undead quarter. When he’s not solving cases (poorly) Jones is always looking to keep his flask full. Prohibition is in full swing, and the dead need alcohol to function. Without liquor they become mindless, flesh-munching ghouls. (In a word: braineaters.) Everything will probably be fine. The investigation into his own murder probably won’t point Jones toward the city’s most important bootlegger. And even if it does, it’s not like he’ll risk cutting off the hooch just to seek justice for himself, right? No one man’s life is worth unleashing a cannibalistic orgy of violence. Right? Cracking this case will be a tall order, but one thing’s for sure: whatever happens, Braineater Jones isn’t getting out of this one alive…

Four Kingdoms. No Heir. An Uncertain Future. FOUR PRINCES: After an evil curse is cast upon the four corners of Syracuse, a vast country ruled by the Rothhaven family, maidens across the land suddenly become barren. Years pass, and the future of Family Rothhaven looks bleak, until eighteen-year-old Mariselle Langer wakes up one morning with cramps, a craving for chocolate, and a highly unexpected visit from Aunt Flow. Upon realizing that his daughter is different from the other maidens, Mariselle’s father approaches the leaders of the four kingdoms with the wonderful news. This sets off a chain of events which threaten to divide the Rothhaven brothers, who all desire her for themselves, and not just because she can give them an heir. Meanwhile, Mariselle has her own ideas about whom she wishes to wed, which not only shocks the nation, but ultimately… saves it. FOUR KINGS: With the entire country of Syracuse completely barren, Mariselle Langer leaves Griffin and the East Haven castle and moves to Castle North Haven. There, she realizes her attraction to King Alexander is stronger than she first thought, and she fights to work out just how she can resign herself to being his lover, while pushing thoughts of King Griffin from her mind. There isn’t a second that goes by that Mariselle isn’t wondering if she’s the last hope for the country to produce an heir for the Rothhavens. Just when she and Alexander seem to become closer and intimate, King Zackary shows up at the North Haven. With his sexy drawl and rippling muscles, Mariselle wonders if she may be going crazy. How could all the Rothhaven brothers be so alluring? She wonders if there isn’t some sort of magic going on behind the scenes. Being so attracted to all the kings just doesn’t seem natural… or right. Yet, here she is, wanting them all.Hecate continues to stay in the shadows to make sure Mariselle is staying on track to breaking the curse before all the maidens of the land become too old to procreate.

And nothing is going to stop Gaylen from getting what he wants. FOUR HEIRS: With the curse still not broken in Syracuse, the people of the country begin to grow impatient.

Things seem to be going fine until King Zackary takes a trip to the village… and doesn’t return.

With them both worried about the missing King, they turn to each other for comfort. Mariselle begins to fall for Mathias, and quickly realizes she is now hopelessly in love with all the brothers. Mathias, in turn, admits he’s loved her since they were children—and also reveals a secret he’s been keeping from everyone. With Gaylen still determined to destroy Syracuse, and Hecate fighting to save it, both realize they’re going to have to step up their game in order to get what they want.
