The House of Crimson & Clover continues in the third volume, The Illusions of Eventide.

The mystic awakens.

Nicolas' life is painted by betrayal.

Stinging disloyalty from the two people he loves most leads to overwhelming loss, and an existence devoid of purpose.

He takes a note out of Ana's playbook and flees the pain, ending up at his family's holiday home in the Gulf of Mexico.

Instead of solitude he finds Mercy, a breathtaking woman with many layers of secrets and a stubborn refusal to answer any of his reasonable questions.

Mercy needs Nicolas, but he can never know the truth: that she is not a woman at all, but a being thousands of years old, at the end of a journey she needs his unwitting help to complete.

But in her presence, Nicolas' own dormant magic starts to surface.

Magic he was never supposed to get back.

Magic that awakens beings more ancient-and dangerous-than Mercy.

About the Author
Sarah is the USA Today Bestselling Author of the Paranormal Southern Gothic series, The House of Crimson & Clover, born of her combined passion for New Orleans, and the mysterious complexity of human nature. Her work has been described as rich, emotive, and highly dimensional. An unabashed geek, Sarah enjoys studying obscure subjects like the Plantagenet and Ptolemaic dynasties, and settling debates on provocative Tolkien topics such as why the Great Eagles are not Gandalf's personal taxi service. Passionate about travel, Sarah has visited over twenty countries collecting sparks of inspiration (though New Orleans is where her heart rests). She's a self-professed expert at crafting original songs to sing to her very patient pets, and a seasoned professional at finding ways to humiliate herself (bonus points if it happens in public). When at home in Oregon, her husband and best friend, James, is very kind about indulging her love of fast German cars and expensive lattes.
