Release Day: HEART OF STONE

The cover for CE Murphy's urban fantasy (modern romantasy) novel HEART OF STONE depicts a stylized green and gold stained glass window against a deep green brick background. The title, centered in the window, has a faint heart outline behind it, and below it are two stained-glass gargoyles facing one another. Cover art and design by Fakel Barros Studio.

HEART OF STONE returns!

Vampires and dragons and djinn, oh my! Welcome (back) to the world of the Old Races as NYC lawyer Margrit Knight discovers her hot new client isn’t just wanted for murder – he’s also a gargoyle!

HEART OF STONE is available in e-book at Amazon, and will be available in print by the end of the month. (Sorry, dropped the ball on that one.)

Very excited to have this back out in the world and very much looking forward to bringing the rest of the series to you soon! I LOVE the new covers with their modern look & feel, provided by Fakel Barros Studio, and I’ve been re-reading the books while getting them ready, and you know what, I’d say they’re really pretty good! I hope those of you who have read them will dive back in, and for those of you for whom they’re new, please enjoy Margrit and Alban’s adventures! Yay!

Defense lawyer Margrit Knight chafes against ordinary social expectations, whether that’s finding the right guy and settling down, or representing those the world has given up on. She’s searching for something more—

—and she finds what she’s looking for when Alban Korund, wanted for murder, reveals himself as a living, breathing gargoyle.

Compelling and enigmatic, Alban belongs to the hidden society of Old Races who have lived alongside the human race since time began…and he’s breaking one of the most sacred rules of their society by approaching Margrit. The danger he represents is as intriguing as the handsome, shape-shifting gargoyle himself is, and although entering his world will change her life forever, Margrit is all in.

But to clear Alban’s name, they have to prove his alibi, and Margrit’s ex, a cop, makes that nearly impossible. Together, they must thread the needle between saving Alban and keeping the Old Races’ secrets—or Margrit, who is only human, may pay the price…
