Rereading C.S. Harris’ dark but fun Sebastian St. Cyr series with 18 books so far:
What Angels Fear
When Gods Die
Why Mermaids Sing
Where Serpents Sleep
What Remains of Heaven
Where Shadows Dance
When Maidens Mourn
What Darkness Brings.
And just finished #9 Why Kings Confess
#10 is on hold
It’s comparable to Andrea Penrose ‘s series- both are good but different. The St. Cyr Series is darker, less wry and less sciency. Both have strong female protagonists and slow burn romance. Sebastian St. Cyr is a tortured but clever nobleman and former soldier with a moral center. His eventual wife/partner Hero nee Jarvis is a radical journalist and reformer impeccably well-dressed and daughter of the most powerful man in England C.S. Harris is a historian and this shows. Both series explore the dark underpinnings of regency society and are meticulously well researched with rich backgrounds and settings.
