After spending the past month as a cheerful amnesiac, drinking gin and making jokes while his world disintegrated, Jack Cade finally has his memories back. That means he knows exactly who Ellini Syal is, and how he feels about her. Unfortunately, he also thinks he's killed her. All he's living for now is revenge against the people who took her from him, be they demons or former friends. Ellini has come to London to do what she does best: a disappearing act. She has a broken heart, a punctured lung, and a pressing need to avoid all personal entanglements. But even in the smoke and bustle of London, someone from her old life has found her - someone who, like her, is supposed to be dead.

Eleven years later, in the city of Oxford, he met her again for the first time...In 1870, Jack Cade is admitted to the new-breed stronghold of Pandemonium, a colony of people just like him: descendants of the vanished demon race, all of them extraordinary in little ways, and deranged in much bigger ones. There, he falls in love with Ellini Syal, a shy, insular woman who spends most of her time scampering barefoot over the Edinburgh rooftops.In 1881, he meets her again, but has no idea who she is.

Can he work out who she is and what she's done in time to save her from the creatures pursuing her? Can he save himself from the amnesia and the creeping indifference that are eating him up piece by piece? Or is amnesia preferable to the kind of memories he will have to unearth?The Great Ellini is the first book in the epic historical-fantasy-romance The Powder Trail, a series where the past and the present meet, part, and reunite with explosive consequences.AWARDS (for full list see Author Notes):1st Place - Paranormal (The Misfit Awards 2022)1st Place - Fantasy (Clouded Ink Awards 2022)1st Place - Fantasy (The Pink Cloud Awards 2023)FEATURES (for full list see Author Notes): StoriesUndiscovered - Into the Abyss (01/10/2022)StudsandVixens - On-going Beaut (27/09/2022)WattpadDarkFantasy - A Kingdom in Shadows (11/09/2022)Lowfantasy - A History Unlikely (05/12/2022)Rankings:#1 Oxford (23/09/2022)#1 victoriangothic (09/09/2022)#1 darkfantasyromance (09/09/2022)#2 wellwritten (24/10/2022)#9 historicalfantasy (15/09/2022)#14 gothic (31/10/2022)#20 mysteryromance (24/10/2022)Cover and graphics by the amazing @AnnamitaMuscaria…

In the days after Ellini left, Jack devoted himself wholeheartedly to the pursuit of oblivion...In 1876, Jack Cade has won a revolution, but lost his girlfriend. In 1881, he has the girlfriend back, but can't remember anything about how he lost her or what she was to him. Still, he knows she is determined to die on the fourth of July - that it has been predicted in quite a reliable book of prophecies - and that, for the sake of his sanity, he has to prevent it. That means pitting himself against living gargoyles, Oxford dons, man-hating sorceresses and - not least - Ellini's own despair. Red, White and Blue is the second book of the epic fantasy romance The Powder Trail, a series where the past and the present meet, part and reunite with explosive consequences.
