The books follow a chronological order but can be read separately:
- Anubis on Mars: expanded with new cover!
- Saint of Mars: expanded with new short story, "Lider's Exorcism"
- Ithax's Offspring in Space
- Nerites Among the Stars
With
the help of her investigators, Francesca Paraclete, a devil's advocate,
researches the possible canonization of a medieval saint: Lady
Margaret.
If canonized, Lady Margaret will be the first Siphon or
mermaid saint. Frankie must consequently deal not only with
difficult-to-access and interpret historical records, she must also
handle political issues--those who support a Siphon becoming a saint;
those who don't.
Her duties are complicated by a possible spy
from the College of Cardinals, a cat-like being who insists on
accompanying her everywhere, and her personal invisible consultant, a
Cubus named Will who is possibly over 2,000 years old.
To keep
things simple, Frankie focuses on locating Lady Margaret's relics.
Frankie, her spy, and her consultant start the search in Bamburgh Castle
in Northern England. Their investigation will take them to the Faroe
Islands, the Isle of Man, King Arthur's Carlisle, a holy well, several
shrines, and Norton Priory. At each location, they encounter lore
connected to the sea and possibly, hopefully, the true story of Lady
Margaret.
