Summary
“You thought a few fireworks could stop me?”
Despite Christopher’s terror, he spoke clearly. “Those weren’t fireworks.”
Oswyn’s eyes widened. “You mean…”
Christopher’s laugh was humorless. “If my plan had worked, you would be a pile of ashes right now, confessing your sins to the Lord.”
~
What if Christopher's plan at the end of book one had failed? What if Oswyn had gotten his hands on the Archangel's Fire? The answer might not be as pretty as you think.

Summary
It's 1665 and Plague is underway, Lord Ashcombe returns to London officially to gather some papers for His Majesty, but on less official matters has also been granted two days reprieve to spend with his son.
Christopher wants little to do with the KIng's Warden after finding out that the man abandoned him 14 years before.
Ashcombe, Christopher and friends find themselves in a race against time when a break-in and potential theft raise more questions than answers, and the answers far more chilling then either trully expected. Especially during one of the worst Plague outbreaks in history.

Summary
He saw the feet first.
Light sliced over them so quickly he nearly missed it, illuminating filthy soles streaked with dark red. With the sight came relief, came the shrinking of the darkness around him until it no longer resembled a yawning void but a simple alley, one he suddenly realized he recognized.
And with that realization came another, horrifying one. He stepped forward, bringing with him light, and the hand holding his pistol began to tremble.

Summary
It’s been two months since Christopher Rowe and his friends faced down the Raven and survived to tell the tale, but not all is well in London. The city stirs with unrest; the king has been forced into hiding, a group of assassins appear to be on the rise, and most importantly—Lord Ashcombe is missing.
With the fate of the Lord Protector on the line, Christopher and his friends must race to unravel the mystery behind his disappearance—no matter the cost. Still struggling to pick up the pieces of his own mind, somehow unable to tell right from wrong, Christopher soon realises that the plot surrounding the marquess is not as clear as it first seems. His skills and his friendships are pushed to the limit as he reckons with danger in the present—and his past.

Summary
Ashcombe smacked the dummy one more time when he saw something fluttering behind him. Ashcombe turned surprised ready to attack when he realized what it was.
It was the pepper and salt-coloured bird that was always around Christopher. This means the young apothecary-slash-spy apprentice was probably somewhere nearby. The bird rarely went far from Christopher, and if she did, it usually meant that Christopher was safe where he was.
“What do you want?” Ashcombe asked gruffly
