SYNOPSIS: TUYA PAZNIC was left by her father one dark winter night and now, seventeen years later, is plagued by night terrors from something that happened that day - something she can’t remember. BRAMWELL DEVRASI, a recent medical graduate, is eager to follow in the footsteps of his guardian in heading medical reformation and the treatment of psychiatric patients. GIDEON PAZNIC thought he lost his wife twenty-five years ago, in childbirth, until a mysterious note arrives one evening which drastically alters his opinion. LUC MONTAGUE is ordered by his master to investigate a series of bizarre crimes in Venisia, whose ritualistic nature is peculiar and suspicious. When Bramwell and Tuya go to Venisia for the Season to witness the renowned revelries of the Black Masquerade, wherein they are inadvertently drawn into Luc’s investigations, and Gideon searches for his wife - paths cross which spark memories best forgotten, dredge up terrors in the dark, and family conspiracies stretching generations are brought to light. In the spirit of Wilkie Collins and Charles Dickens - family secrets, lost legacies, murder and intrigue abound in THE WARD - the first book in THE BIRTHRIGHT CHRONICLES.

[close] Publishing is rich with hidden gems and diamonds in the rough that belong to self-published, indie, and otherwise underappreciated authors. Our focus is recommending little-known authors we're fans of and building a community amongst members who invest in this group. We support our own - readers and authors alike. Fringe Fiction is devoted to those who admire self-published works and want an outlet to discuss under-the-radar books with readers eager to discover fresh talent by obscure authors. Indie aficionados who welcome such recommendations and are enthusiastic about giving them are encouraged to let members know what they might be overlooking in the lesser-known corners of publishing. The authors mentioned in Fringe Fiction won’t be household names and their books aren’t New York Times bestsellers but each of them has fans, a few of them followings and all could use extra word-of-mouth. If you ever read a great book you felt deserved more attention or wished an unknown author all the success in the world, then consider contributing here. Book discussions and recommendations are the purposes of this group; however, self-published/small press authors will have spaces and opportunities to make themselves known to other members. We’re all supportive fans – both existing and potential – so treat the avid readers of Fringe Fiction with the utmost respect and they’ll consider your work with similar courtesy. To those still reading and like-minded - welcome to the Fringe!
