Ghosts of Albion
From Amber Benson and award-winning author Christopher Golden
comes a supernatural thriller with demons, secret agendas, and
spectral warriors, set amid the deadly slums of nineteenth-century
London. Based on the smash BBC web series that took England
by storm, GHOSTS OF ALBION is a horror adventure laced with
dark humor and darker lusts. William and Tamara Swift are Britain's
protectors against the supernatural.
Having inherited the role from their grandfather, they're joined
by his greatest allies: Bodicea, the warrior queen, Admiral
Lord Nelson, and Lord Byron -- the Ghosts of Albion.
Accursed
When a plague infests the slums of Victorian London, it releases
hideous creatures who feed upon the innocent. If the Swifts
can't stop it, all of England may fall prey to this unholy invasion.
It seems as if a battle is imminent -- an epic battle that may
rage all the way to Buckingham Palace . . . and beyond. Time
is running out as William and Tamara must learn whether their
friends will stand beside them, or seduce and betray them.

Witchery
Before you can save Albion, you must destroy the poison in
its black heart.
Responding to a plea from Cornwall, Tamara discovers that the
rumors of young women, both human and fairy, vanishing without
a trace are horribly true. Instead of hard clues, she uncovers
only whispers of witches, infernal abductions, and a pyre of
innocents planned for the solstice. Indeed, Tamara has never
faced a more dangerous task for the legendary land of King Arthur's
Camelot also harbors dark, bloody deeds and a waking evil. Soon
nothing, not even mighty Albion, will be safe from the deadly
peril.
A voluptuous, twisted thriller, Ghosts of Albion: Witchery
brings to life a sizzling, nineteenth century world of fiends,
phantoms, and spine-tingling terror.
Reviews
"Ghosts
of Albion: Accursed is a fabulously entertaining combination
of Victorian conventions, sensuous undertones, and some seriously
evil magic. Against a new strain of wickedness that's crept
into Britain stand William and Tamara Swift, brother and sister,
who are just discovering their supernatural potential. You can't
go wrong with this rich and complex novel."
