Anita's death while on vacation in New York City is no accident, but instead of the end, Anita discovers that it's only the beginning. Now on the other side, she appears to be connected somehow to Detective Olive Brown, the detective assigned to her murder. And to her killer as well.
Detective Olivia Brown wonders if the ghost is genuine or if she’s losing her mind.
Is Anita actually supposed to help solve her murder or is something else going on?
Can there be romance after death?
A murder mystery like no other.
At three hours after midnight, all was quiet in the hotel room, Olivia was in REM sleep and dreaming. Her eyes were darting around under her lids.
Olivia was making her way through the thick forest, and snow was falling, and it crunched under her feet. The woods looked stark, black and white though the precipitation made it pretty enough. She wasn’t on any path, and it was rough going, the terrain was uneven, and the detective was also on an incline. The further she went, the more difficult the trek. She looked down at her feet; the snow was quite a bit deeper now, and she was suddenly wearing old wooden snowshoes.
Tweet, tweet, tweedily tweet.
A red cardinal flew past her and landed in a birch tree, a beautiful spot of color with the white environment that surrounded her. It jumped several times, knocking snow from the branch to the ground. Olivia had a sense that the bird wanted her to pursue it, and so she did though the going was slow as the incline got steeper.
“What’s this?” A splotch of blood in the snow, but no way to tell if it originated from an animal or human. Olivia perceived a faint sound and it was necessary to listen intently. The Cardinal remained silent as if allowing her to hear whatever it was. She bent closer to the base of the tree near the blood where she observed a watch strap and part of the face of the watch, and when Olivia pulled it out, she could see that there was blood on it. So it was human blood.
A thin hand appeared from beneath the snow and grabbed her wrist, shaking free of it and then stood up. The bird tweeted again, wanting her to follow it and so she did. The slope now almost impossible to climb, but now Olivia could see the top and so kept going. As she struggled to move forward, she was able to smell burning wood, the moderate wind blowing it in her direction.

For hundreds of years a powerful relic has been hidden away, protected by wizardry and subterfuge. As one kingdom prepares for war, their enemy’s dragon circles above like a vulture seeking carrion and while one king lives a life of debauchery, gluttony and lust, his queen searches relentlessly for the powerful relic and makes plans to resurrect the Order of Knights, an elite set of warriors long ago betrayed and vanquished.
One young man, in love with the princess must prove his bravery and worth for a chance to pursue their forbidden love. Will his talents with a sword prove to be worthy of being called a Knight? Will he prove worthy of the Order? Does the fate of the kingdom lay in the hands of a hidden legend or in the hands of unlikely heroes? Meanwhile, one old man’s secrets have been hidden under a witch’s spell, a secret that could change the fates of the kingdom and the coming war… will he remember in time?
A.J. Gallant writes fantasy with his own flare and ORDER OF THE ROSE is another of his tales of castles, dragons, brave knights, seemingly unbeatable enemies and forbidden love set in a world where all the classic trappings exist except for one. If you love the idea of ancient times, deceit, betrayal and royal machinations, but find the heavy and often cumbersome “language” too much to slog through, Mr. Gallant’s special spin of contemporary language usage and his added humor makes this adventure an easy read to get lost in without missing out on a world where one’s imagination can soar with the dragons and stand tall in battles of epic proportions and women can have the strength of the fiercest warriors.
A fun read with characters that are often quirky and humorous, magic that is, well, magical and dragons, love the dragons!
