The Books


Book One

Stone Keeper

Stone Keeper—book cover

She came to save a dying cathedral. She never counted on the guardian carved into its stone waking for her.

Surveying St. Aelric's for a developer, Maren Cole finds stonework kept sound by unrecorded hands—and a gargoyle she has known from a photograph since childhood. Then the figure vanishes from its mount. Caern has guarded the cathedral alone for centuries. He recognizes the bond forming between them as soon as Maren enters his ground, but says nothing.

Maren refuses to accept a fate she never chose, however strongly she wants Caern. When an ancient enemy hunting the covenant's bloodlines discovers that hers is among them, the danger reaches beyond the cathedral. Caern may be determined to protect her, but the choice of what their bond becomes belongs to Maren.

Dark, atmospheric, and explicit, Stone Keeper opens The Sentinel Clutch with a possessive gargoyle guardian, a heroine who decides her own ending, a slow-burn fated bond she refuses to be handed, and a hard-won happily ever after.

Book Two

Stone Watch

Stone Watch—book cover

She has stood watch over one cathedral alone for longer than the city outside has had a name. She never counted on the survivor who would arrive at her gate and refuse to let her hold it alone.

Lyssa has held St. Aelric’s steady since the fall of her clutch, carrying one choice she made then as a secret limit on what she deserves. Soren arrives with the covenant records of his own fallen clutch, having carried them across dangerous ground rather than surrender them to the enemy. He recognizes the bond between them, as he did when they met in autumn, but waits for Lyssa to choose whether to claim it.

The enemy that destroyed Soren’s clutch is closing on another sacred site. Both guardians know the cost of loss, yet when Soren decides for Lyssa what she can bear, she shuts him out. Their bond remains unfinished. Lyssa must decide for herself whether to lower the wall she has kept standing for centuries.

Dark, atmospheric, and explicit, Stone Watch continues The Sentinel Clutch with two ancient guardians, a second-chance fated bond neither of them will force, a steadfast warrior who decides her own ending, and a hard-won happily ever after she claims on her own terms.

Book Three

Stone Kin

Stone Kin—book cover

Every important thing about Dani’s life was decided for her before she ever had a say, including the hidden world she now keeps the records of. When she finds out who arranged it, and why, the only way to know whether this life is truly hers is to walk out of it.

Dani tends the records of the gargoyle clutch beneath St. Aelric’s, a world she was brought into without being asked. Ren, the youngest guardian, finds a record of what happened to her family and brings it to her before anyone else can decide what she should know. Then he gives her room to make sense of it herself.

The record reveals that someone Dani trusted placed her at the cathedral deliberately, while the enemy behind her family’s ruin is closing on the covenant again. Dani has built a life inside these walls, but she cannot know whether it is hers until she is free to leave. If she comes back, it will be because she chose to.

Dark, atmospheric, and explicit, Stone Kin continues The Sentinel Clutch with a hidden covenant world, a fated bond chosen on full information, a heroine who claims her own belonging, and a hard-won happily ever after she decides for herself.

Book Four

Stone Price

Stone Price—book cover

Petra has kept other people’s secrets her whole life, and one of her own that could get her killed. When the debt she has managed in silence for a year finally comes due, the only way to survive it is to stop managing it and put the whole truth in front of the people it could turn against her.

As liaison between the gargoyle guardians and the human world, Petra knows how to keep a dangerous truth buried. Cael, who brought records from the ruins of his own clutch, recognizes that she is carrying one. He has a past decision of his own to reckon with, and he works beside Petra without pressing her to reveal hers.

Then an enemy inside the network Petra once served calls in her debt. To stop it, she must tell the guardians what she did under duress, knowing they may cast her out. Cael will let her choose when to speak. Petra must decide whether she can trust the clutch with the truth—and believe belonging is still possible afterward.

Dark, atmospheric, and explicit, Stone Price continues The Sentinel Clutch with a morally complex heroine reckoning with her own past, a survivor who reads her clearly and never crowds her, a fated bond built on the whole truth, and a hard-won happily ever after she claims on her own terms.

Book Five

Stone Vigil

Stone Vigil—book cover

For about a century and a half, Caius has kept a vigil no one else knew he was keeping, over a mate he sealed into stone to save her life and could not wake alone. When the Clutch is finally strong enough to bring her back, Vesper wakes to a world where everyone she loved is long dead, and to one choice still entirely her own.

Since the fall of the old clutch, Caius has kept Vesper hidden in the stone of a ruin, waiting for the Sentinel Clutch to grow strong enough to wake her. Once keeper of her people’s histories, Vesper returns to a world where no one else remembers them. The bond drawing her toward Caius is real, but she needs to know whether it is hers to choose.

When Vesper pulls away, Caius and the Clutch give her room. They face the dark threatening her while she decides what she wants from this unfamiliar life. Caius has spent a century and a half hoping she would wake. The future they might share depends on what Vesper chooses now that she can speak for herself.

Dark, atmospheric, and explicit, Stone Vigil is the series’ only dual-POV book, told by both Caius and Vesper, and its emotional and mythological center.

Stone Home

Stone Home—book cover

Isadora has spent her life as the one who keeps a hidden world running and is never once thanked for it, wanting a place of her own so quietly she has stopped letting herself hear it. Then a guardian who was only meant to pass through asks her the one question no one has ever thought to ask her, which is what she wants.

For generations, the Voss women have kept the gargoyle guardians’ records and secrets. Isadora knows how to anticipate every need but has stopped asking what she needs herself. Aldric arrived on a temporary assignment and stayed. He recognizes the bond between them, yet works beside her without pressing a claim she is not ready to make.

Now the covenant’s ancient enemy is making a final move from within, turning certainty against those it hunts. As the guardians and their allies converge, Aldric asks Isadora what she wants. Saving the world she has served will require her to step beyond being useful to it and choose a life she can call her own.

Expect an ancient guardian who asks instead of takes, a heroine who steps out from behind a lifetime of service to claim her own life, the convergence of everything the series has built, found family, real peril, scorching on-page heat, and a hard-won happily ever after.
