Sorcerer Percival Endicott Whyborne and his husband Griffin Flaherty have enjoyed an unprecedented stretch of peace and quiet. Unfortunately, the calm is shattered by the arrival of a package from Griffin’s brother Jack, who has uncovered a strange artifact while digging for gold in Alaska. The discovery of a previously unknown civilization could revive the career of their friend Dr. Christine Putnam — or it might kill them all, if the hints of dark sorcery surrounding the find are true.

With Christine and her fiancé Iskander, Whyborne and Griffin must journey to the farthest reaches of the arctic to stop an ancient evil from claiming the life of Griffin’s brother. But in the rough mining camp of Hoarfrost, secrets fly as thickly as the snow, and Whyborne isn’t the only sorcerer drawn by the rumors of magic. Amidst a wilderness of ice and stone, Griffin must either face his greatest fear — or lose everyone he loves.

Jordan L. Hawk

Jordan L. Hawk didn’t set out to become one of the most beloved voices in queer paranormal fiction—but once they began weaving tales of haunted pasts, dangerous rituals, and fiercely loyal love, there was no turning back. Blending supernatural suspense with rich emotional depth, their stories have quietly reshaped the landscape of LGBTQ+ speculative fiction, drawing readers into worlds where magic, monsters, and romance coexist in perfect tension.

Raised in North Carolina, Hawk grew up steeped in folklore and ghost stories, the kind whispered across porches and remembered from yellowed pages. That early fascination with things lurking just beyond the veil shaped their storytelling instincts, but it was their passion for character-driven narratives that gave their work its pulse. Whether conjuring eldritch horrors or reimagining Victorian settings, Hawk always centers the fragile, complex humanity within the fantastical.

Their Whyborne & Griffin series became a quiet phenomenon among readers looking for more than just thrills—delivering tender, sometimes harrowing explorations of identity and love, set against a backdrop of occult mystery. With each book, Hawk built a loyal following not through flashy marketing or literary accolades, but by consistently offering something rare: queer characters who are not only fully realized, but also heroic in their vulnerability.

Hawk writes with a rhythm that feels both grounded and arcane, pulling from gothic tradition while modernizing its sensibilities. Their prose can be lyrical one moment, then tightly coiled with suspense the next, mirroring the emotional push and pull between their protagonists. Beyond Whyborne & Griffin, their Hexworld and SPECTR series continue to expand their signature universe—one where love defies the odds and even death doesn’t always have the final say.

An introvert at heart and self-described history geek, Hawk balances their love of the strange with a deep respect for the past. Their work resonates with those who want their monsters complex, their lovers haunted, and their endings hard-won. Jordan L. Hawk may not court the spotlight, but for those who find their stories, the spell is lasting.
