Today starts off 5 free days for the Shrouded Guard ebook. Even if you've previously purchased/downloaded it, this is for you too (I had to republish it due to Amazon not pushing updated interior files to those who already bought the book). Major changes include some character names & 1 plot point.

Bounty Hunter book 1: July 13
Underground Alchemist book 1: August 13

In the Grimoire Archive time period, there are sentient Curses (not widely known, essentially "spirit" entities from the Nightmare Dimension) that are mostly associated with evil because they can/do possess people and use them/their magic to create chaos.

Xavier Roscoe is definitely one of my favorite side characters in the Shrouded Curses arc of the Grimoire Archive series. He's a member of the Curse Breakers Guild and a "ride-or-die" best friend to one of the MCs. Also, he *may* get a bit more of a moment to shine in a companion book.
