Secrets of the Nyx (Lora Ley #1)

Lora Ley - Secrets of the Nyx is the first in a series of book inspired by German myth, magic and history. Set in Germany at the end of the 19th century, the story soon takes us to the wondrous worlds of magic, demesnes of the Old Gods and the world of spirits.

As Lora discovers the truth about herself, a series of grisly deaths and an obsessive police inspector make her life difficult. Meanwhile, a powerful siphonophoric water spirit threatens the very life and existence of realms both mortal and magical, and its focus is Lora Ley.

Fortunately for her, less so for the man she plans to marry, a lover from her past arises to show her miraculous worlds and hidden truths. She meets Skoldt the brook Horse and the Moss Mother, an aspect of the ancient goddess Herthe (Nerthe, Erda), the Earth, and other spirits and magical entities who help her in her quest to find herself, and to find a way to vanquish the evil which threatens both spirits and mortals.

Epic fantasy, history, mythology, romance and a deadly dash of dark comedy combine to create a fast-paced adventure and fun for all.
