Saskia de la Cruz is a Verity Witch – her only magic being that she can tell the truth from a lie. As an investigative reporter for The Blood Web Chronicle, the biggest news outlet on the paranormal dark Blood Web, Saskia spends her days cracking twisted para cases hoping that someday, some case, will bring her closer to finding her missing sister.
Each book centres on a different European city, and a different paranormal crime, and are supported by a prequel novella set in LA and a Christmas special in Lapland.

About Caedis Knight
About Caedis Knight
Established fantasy authors Jacqueline Silvester and N J Simmonds joined forces in 2019 when they learned readers were looking for steamy paranormal stories with more diversity, more sass, and set outside of the US.
Between them, they have lived in ten countries and speak six languages fluently - all of which inspired them to create a fantasy world hidden among our own. The cities featured in the series are cities they have lived in (except for Lapland).
Jacqueline Silvester is of Russian/ Ukrainian descent and now lives between Berlin and The Netherlands. She works as a screenwriter and producer and has collaborated with large names such as Netflix, Cartoon Network, and Nickelodeon. Natali Simmonds lives in the Netherlands and has British/Spanish heritage. She writes fantasy as N J Simmonds, and feminist thrillers as Natali Simmonds.
Together they pen paranormal romance as Caedis Knight, and run the Caedis Knight Romance Academy where they teach a variety of courses on writing and self-publishing.
