In A Singer of Thrace, Paul harrows hell by traveling to the Ether in the body of an all-male, genetically engineered denizen of the Ether, one of its “cogs.”

When a magic ritual goes awry at the end of the First Crusade, a group of Knights Hospitaller are mistakenly made immortal, doomed to be reborn after each death. The knights fight with sword and magic, and, like the Hospitallers they once were, they care for the sick and dying.

Mark Leo Tapper, author of the award-winning novel, The Vials of Our Wrath, sets The K-Nurse series in present-day America. In A Singer of Thrace, Paul must go behind enemy lines, disguised as average worker for the all-encompassing Company, to try to find his daughter. He must learn to speak in the crazy dialect of corporate jargon, cogspeak, that the inhabitants of Central City use to communicate, but also to hide from their lonely, empty lives.

Paul has vowed to find Aurora or die in the attempt, and his journey requires magic from the whole Council of the Order of St. John. Can he find Aurora in time?

Praise for The Vials of Our Wrath: “Tapper offers up a thrilling look into the inevitable sides of morality, scientific directive, and pursuing health to its extreme. His grasp of advanced medicine and people's wants and fears make for an incredible read.”
Kristi Chadwick, Library Journal Indie Ebook Awards

“One of the things I love the most is the idea of the k-nurses being healers as well as warriors. Not only do they destroy, but they create. They aren’t mindless zealots or brutish warriors, but enlightened and cultured protectors on more than one front of a colossal war. Such a great take.” Goodreads Review

“. . .your readers need this series in these times.” Sheryl Rap�e-Adams. Editor and Founder of Cat’s Eye Copyediting

“I would say the final strength of this tale, or rather series, is its absolute uniqueness. There is nothing quite like it out there.” Jonathan Maas, Author of City of gods -Hellenica and Time Capsle

For lovers of magical realism, historical fantasy, LGBTQ+ fantasy, and books for nurses.

We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence.
