Eva Thorne

Books 1-4

By: Lorel Clayton

Fun, clever fantasy with an epic ending! “I hated the late shift. I hated the morning shift too. If only I could make a living doing something I enjoyed, like yelling and intimidating people.” The surly Eva Thorne is a born detective when she’s not playing the femme fatale, but it takes her brother’s murder to set her on a hunt for clues. What she discovers brings her up against a powerful slave-trading cartel, dark gods, and worst of all her twin sister. In a city of elvish masters and matriarchal dwarves where humans have no rights, the only people on her side are an illegally freed slave, a senile nanny, and an ex-almost-boyfriend. But even when she nearly loses her job and almost loses her head in a sword fight on the same night, she isn’t deterred. It’s when the nanny goes missing that she really starts to worry. For the first time, the first 4 books of the Eva Thorne series are available in a digital box set - at the best price ever! The Eva Thorne series begins with a murder and culminates in the war that will end the world. Twisting the norms of high fantasy, mystery, and steampunk into a witty mixture of humor and romance, this series is an action-packed adventure worth taking. Magic and machines can't stand against the God of Death, and humans are on the run from the god's invasion. Highcrowne is the only refuge, but that means living in the Outskirts of an ancient city ruled by Avian mages, indifferent dwarves, and elves who'd prefer to see humans as their slaves. Eva is a relentless, kick-ass heroine unafraid of confronting kings, monsters, or gods, but she is a Thorne—the worst of the hated Solhan race. Her family summoned the Dead God into the world to grant them ultimate power, and secret parts of her desire power as well. The battle between her dark, Solhan nature and her desire to leave behind her family’s legacy of necromancy and tyranny is what drives her. Never one to meet others’ expectations, she fights fate at every turn. But as she is forced to make one difficult decision after another, she wonders if anyone can escape their destiny. "A fantastical twist on mystery, brimming with action-packed adventure and a sense of clever fun." -Elizabeth Spann Craig, Bestselling Mystery Author “I picked this up and just could not put it down until I finished! …If you like Mystery, Romance, and Fantasy this book has it all!” – Terry’s Book Addiction “An enjoyable, fantastic read!” – Pearl, #1 Best Goodreads Reviewer

Blood and Thorne

By: Lorel Clayton

Eva Thorne thought facing a werewolf, betrayal, and the army of Death was bad. She learns there are all new kinds of evil—and more enemies, as well as allies, than she ever imagined. All of them have an agenda, and all of them want the one thing she needs to defeat the Dead God and save her world from annihilation. Can she claim the First Soul before they do?The bad guys all want her dead. Fortunately, some want the First Soul more, and they need her to get it. They hope it will make them a god. She wants it for her own reasons. It summoned the God of Death, and it can send Him back to the Void before His armies ‘cleanse’ everything she’s ever known from existence. The last strongholds of humanity have fallen. Only the Three Kingdoms of Avian, Dwarf and Elf still stand. Eva is running out of time, because even that alliance is crumbling, and the Elf King, Fharen, is hatching a desperate plan of his own to win the war, one that sacrifices everyone Eva cares about. Eva doesn’t want to be the femme fatale or Death’s bride, and she may be the worst pet detective ever, but surely, she can find a missing relic? The First Soul is evil, and like attracts like. Gods and monsters have sought it for centuries. She has one advantage – no one does evil quite like a Thorne.

A Thorne for a Crown

By: Lorel Clayton

The first real case femme fatale turned private eye, Eva Thorne, has had in months may be more than she can handle. King Rutgard has been kidnapped, only he's not entirely alive, which makes finding him difficult. What's more, dwarf men are joining the suffragist movement in droves to win freedom from the matriarchy, and there's a werewolf terrorist in town causing chaos. Eva needs a case like this to make her reputation, but she has problems of her own. Dark magic is rising in her, the Thorne legacy, and she can't control it. She has to find a way or risk imprisonment by the jackbooted elf soldiers who are cracking down on illegal necromancy and worship of the Dead God. Worse, the God of Death wants her soul, as does her twin sister, so Eva denies her magic and hides from her family. But some things are impossible to hide from, like the tax collector … and love.

Tangle of Thornes

By: Lorel Clayton

When Eva's brother is murdered, she is forced to investigate the crime herself. What she discovers brings her up against a powerful slave-trading cartel, dark gods, and worst of all her twin sister. In a city of elvish masters and matriarchal dwarves where humans have no rights, the only people on her side are an illegally-freed slave, a senile nanny, and an ex-almost-boyfriend. But even when she nearly loses her job and almost loses her head in a sword fight on the same night, she isn’t deterred. It’s when the nanny goes missing that she really starts to worry. Femme fatale turns hard-boiled investigator in this first Eva Thorne novel. Set in a world where magic and machines can't stand against the God of Death, humans are on the run from the god's invasion. Highcrowne is the only refuge, but that means living in the Outskirts of an ancient city ruled by Avian mages, indifferent dwarves, and elves who'd prefer to see humans as their slaves. It's worst for Eva's people, Solhans, because they were the ones who summoned the Dead God into the world. No one wants her kind in Highcrowne and there are plenty who would be happy to see her brother dead. There are too many motives and not enough time to unravel the mystery, because other people are dying—and Eva is fast running out of vacation time. "A fantastical twist on mystery, brimming with action-packed adventure and a sense of clever fun." -Elizabeth Spann Craig, Bestselling Mystery Author
