“The little reed, bending to the force of the wind, soon stood upright again when the storm had passed.” —Aesop
How far would you go to protect the ones you love?
What would you sacrifice to kill the one you hate?
Join Giovanni Vecchio and Beatrice De Novo as they travel to a hidden island on the far edge of China and seek the help of an ancient immortal court. Can they weave their way through the tangled web of centuries-old alliances and ruthless feuds to find what they’ve been looking for? Friends will be revealed, enemies will find them, and a dangerous secret will come to light.
The third book in the Elemental Mysteries series will see Giovanni and Beatrice joined by a group of unlikely allies as they explore the history and myth of the far East. Many have been stolen, but only one holds the key.

Read full series description
"Where did you get the inspiration for The Elemental Mysteries?"
- This is a really common question with no clear answer except my overactive imagination. In a more general sense, I usually start with characters first. That is, characters come to my fevered brain, and the plots to my books usually follow that, not the other way round. So, I guess you could say that the Elemental Mysteries are inspired by the character of Giovanni Vecchio.
How many books will there be in the series?
- Gio and Beatrice’s story will be told in four books, but they do show up in others. Their series is finished, but I will continue to write in the Elemental World as long as it’s fun. Building From Ashes (Carwyn and Brigid’s story) is already out. I’m writing Blood and Sand right now, which features Baojia. Waterlocked is an Elemental World novella originally published here on the site, and it’s available in stores now. I’m going to branch out with my Cambio Springs series and a few other ideas, but Idon’t foresee abandoning this world anytime soon."
