Puddles in the Pavement
About this ebook
Archangels Uriel and Bel investigate when a distraught lady’s fiancé falls into a puddle and doesn’t come out. But he’s not the only one to be dragged into mysterious depths.
Foul games are afoot in Victorian London, where a well-demon is turned loose from his underground prison with one mission: to collect victims for the torturous games of an idle, immortal duke.
When a single victim from each hunt is returned to their home, word spreads of a deadly wolf, who speaks with the voice of God, striking a new fear into the heart of London.
Why was Lady Emilia’s fiancé taken when he has nothing in common with the other puddle-snatched men? How can Uriel and Bel get him back? And where is that awful singing coming from?

This book features a duke with terrible table manners, a Home Secretary with a questionable appendage, and an exceptionally perky butler.
This is book 2 of the historical mystery Tales from the Noctuary series, but it can be read as a standalone. It is part of the wider Cascade Apocrypha story world. Check out the Not the Same River series.

About the author
Inka York got an early start to her writing career when she rewrote the endings of Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tales to make them less sad, and while it wasn’t on quite the same level of fanfic written by the likes of William Shakespeare, Alexandre Dumas, Dante, or Oscar Wilde, it was something. The kind of something that grew its own bones and teeth, and took on a life of its own.
The Cascade Apocrypha storyworld was decades in the making, and begins with the Not the Same River series, about a girl who finds the family she deserves in a world she never knew existed. Tales from the Noctuary is a historical mystery series set in the same storyworld.
Inka writes from a cave in Kent, in the southeast of England, where she lives with her husband and the gaping chasm left behind when Kid A and Kid B flew away to find their own caves.
