Come sit by the fire with tea and your knitting needles—and take a deeper dive into the world of South Myrddin. From fated mates to ships passing in the night to an ill-fated romance and more, the anthology puts a magnifying glass on many in the village. You’ll want a strong brew to enjoy while you delve into the mysteries.

Her Name Was Ness

Learn the truth behind the myth of Loch Ness. Follow the dramatic tale of Ness MacDougal and the two who hold her heart. Beset on all sides by warring warlocks, druids, and vampires. Can the three lovers find their escape before her family castle is brought down around them?

Whey to His Heart

When fated mates meet over the renovation of an old stone cottage, an introverted lion shifter and a gargoyle stonemason find themselves building a connection stone by stone. The two men battle the weather, their own doubts, and their chronic illness to find common ground. Sometimes, the universe knows just what one needs in life.

Pay the Piper

Two beautiful shifters have one amazingly satisfying night. Aroha Kiri spends most of her time making beautiful jewellery. She finds herself delightfully distracted by a roaming bagpipe-playing dancer who moves to the beat of her own rhythm.

Snapshots of a Faded Affair

From awkward, almost sweet beginning to bitterly icy end, Emrys and Jonatan Pacehco can never seem to forget each other. If soulmates were fated, their bond has to be cursed. Despite a gulf of time and pain between them, it is nigh impossible for them to say goodbye.

Deleted Scenes

A collection of short bits and pieces that don’t quite fit into the series. See Hyde’s arrival in the village and learn about Emrys’s connection to the land. The chaos kittens make their very first appearance in their vampire’s world.

They walked in silence for a moment. Emrys pondered the mystery of the tall vampire with a slight Spanish lilt to his voice. He was oddly drawn to Pacheco, which surprised him greatly.

“We could help each other.” Pacheco seemed surprised at having made the offer. “I imagine the warlocks, with or without vampire interference, will turn their attention to your village eventually.”

“I’d like to see them try.” Emrys knew Myrddin had woven powerful protection into the land itself. “It would take far more than a pack of warlocks to breach the boundary.”

“Still, it would be easier to deal with the problem before it becomes a more dire situation. Not even the famed protections of the greatest druid to live can keep them out forever.” Pacheco turned around, leaning against the wall. He crossed his arms and looked far more dignified than he should, considering the mess of his clothing. “They will only grow in power.”

“I am not eager to hand over control of the Highlands to vampires.”

“You’d prefer the warlocks?” Pacheco held his hands up when Emrys raised his staff. “I am not making threats or speaking empty words. They will not stop until they control or ruin everything. It is their way.”

“And vampires are better?”

“We’re not seeking to rule the Highlands.”

Emrys leaned heavily on his staff. He peered off into the distance, listening to the waves crashing and distant cry of one of his falcons. “No, you simply wish to bleed us dry.”
