    Summary

    As consort to the King in Yellow, Arthur is the infamous Jewel of Carcosa, a high ranking member of court, both an object of desire and a political tactician. However, few know that the King in Yellow is not the monstrous horror he once was, nor that he and Arthur have a vendetta all their own. As Arthur and John juggle the treacherous politics of the Dreamlands with their search for the Crimson Stone, they find themselves turning to the only reprieve they have: lessons in human and godly intimacy.

    Summary

    To say that John is interested in the stranger who’s been sitting at the far end of his bar for nearly three hours now would be an understatement. For one thing, the man has only ordered a single drink and is still nursing it, even though the ice is completely melted and watered-down whiskey is less than pleasant.

    For another, in the low light of the club, he looks just like Arthur Lester.

    .

    Following the death of his daughter, famous film composer and pianist Arthur Lester drops out of the music scene and disappears from the public eye. Ten years later, Arthur now works as a private investigator and has no interest in performing or composing ever again.

    John is intrigued by Arthur, who comes to his club to drink on the rare nights that there’s no music scheduled. As they meet again and again, they begin to grow closer. But Arthur isn’t the only one with a past he’s trying to run away from.
