What is TIME? What is REALITY?In King's Gambit, Charles Sinclair ponders these questions and more as he slowly finds his way through the inner clockwork of an ancient Time Maze. It's a perilous journey, planned by the Fallen Realm, but allowed by God Almighty to prepare the duke for his ultimate future. God's ways are not our ways. He takes all our choices, all our mistakes, then weaves in the dark plots of fallen angels, demons, and devils, and he works all of it together for good, according to HIS plans and purposes. Because God is omniscient, seeing the end from the beginning, this great and mighty Lord of Armies faithfully prepares his angels and his human children, for every battle and every war. And so it begins...

The Ripper murders did not begin in 1888, but in March of 1879, when a beautiful woman is found slain and dismembered on Commercial Street in Spitalfields, London. When detectives arrive, they find not only the broken body of the victim, but a child who remembers nothing of who she is or how she came to be at the scene. Because the little girl has no known home, a gentle-hearted detective inspector named Charles St. Clair takes her to his home, and from that point on, his life will never be the same. Over the course of the next ten years, he'll learn not only all about the girl but also about himself. And St. Clair will learn the truth about a supernatural battle that has been raging across England for four hundred years.The Redwing Saga presents an alternative telling of history, pulling back the veil of secrecy put into place by those who would deceive and destroy. Geopolitics, criminal investigation, and science merge with secret societies, angelic warfare, and human free will. Book One of the series, Blood Lies, introduces the characters-both human and non-human-as well as their backstories, and it starts us on a journey that will eventually lead from Whitechapel to World War.

Charles Sinclair has been on a path to discovery, and in this volume of The Redwing Saga, he finally remembers important truths about his childhood, and he's about to discover the identity of the Dragon behind the mirror. A strange object, in thirteen pieces, is revealed when a giant trips. Just how does it connect to Blackstone Exploration Society? Two brave knights clash at Branham's fête, but danger flies high above. Elizabeth Sinclair gives birth to twin children, but not everything goes as planned: one of Sinclair's earliest visions comes true. Paul Stuart reveals a surprise, and Adele finds danger in the woods of Goussainville, France. To quote the mysterious Prince Araqiel, who speaks to the lost Adele on Walpurgisnacht: "Dangerous highwaymen lurk within the whispering trees, but also serpents, especially at this time of year."

Having suffered a nearly fatal head wound, Charles Sinclair has awoken in a nightmarish landscape of living stones and sentient trees, where demonic ravens watch his every move, ready for an easy meal. His only hope of escape is to traverse a treacherous maze of seven concentric rings, each with seven possible entries. His guide through this underworld labyrinth is a nameless birdman, who informs the desperate marquess that a refuge lies at the centre of the maze-if he can only reach it. Following her escape from the fire, Elizabeth Sinclair has been taken to Anatole's castle on the western edge of London, but now suffers from pneumonia. Romanov summons the aid of Dr. Henry MacAlpin, a Scottish physician who had been able to perceive the realm of the unseen since his childhood. Elsewhere, in London, someone is murdering Redwing's most prominent members, leaving occult signatures at every blood-spattered scene. The inner circle must solve this series of crimes to prevent Raziel Grigor from activating a subterranean portal and releasing the next of his Watcher companions. The clues to success rest within a hidden room inside Haimsbury House, but the information is in a complex cipher that defies decryption.Will Beth and Charles reunite? What part will Anatole Romanov play in their lives from this moment forward? Lorena MacKey knows the answer, but will Paul Stuart believe her? The clock is ticking, and the faith of every member will be tested in this next phase of Redwing's master plan.

As Charles and Beth plan their wedding, the newly titled detective must unravel the clues to a riddle that hints at his past, and he is forced to reveal a dark secret to his beloved duchess. But worst of all, wolves that walk like men have been seen at St. Katherine's Docks and Victoria Park. Is all of this connected to a cedar crate shipped to England in 1870? Might an ancient stone marker be the source of the evil now stalking women in London? Redwing's members have redoubled their efforts, but a schism has arisen within their ranks, and two powerful spiritual entities begin a battle that rages not only in the infernal realm but in the world of men. Can the faithful men and women of the 'inner circle' solve the riddle in time? And why is Charles Sinclair's blood so very special to the infernal realm? Sir William Trent knows the answer to that question, but his plans do not include Sinclair. He wants Elizabeth all to himself, which means both Paul Stuart and Charles Sinclair must die.

As the Stuart and Sinclair families prepare to celebrate Christmas at Branham, a mysterious group called the Blackstone Exploration Society dig for hidden secrets in the estate's old tunnels. After one of the group's volunteers is found murdered, Charles Sinclair must use all his skill to unmask the killer; be he spirit or flesh. Redwing is fracturing, and even Raziel is at risk; whilst in France, a powerful challenger arises. The powers and principalities of hell conspire to bewitch the men of the inner circle, and Redwing's oldest goals bear evil fruit. Are Charles's vivid dreams part of that plan? Are they lies, or is he beginning to remember his lost childhood? If so, then why do they always include a Dragon?

Giants are real. The small-g "gods" of the pagans are real. Dragons are real. And they're preparing for the final war with God. Giants, Gods, and Dragons is a fresh look at the end of days, drawing on the worldview of the prophets and apostles, who understood that the spirit realm is far more real than we've been taught.
