Britannia 226CE. A request for help comes to the Roman auxiliary soldiers of the Brotherhood of Mithras from a surprising source - druids living north of the Wall.
Description:
In 226CE Hadrian's Wall in Britannia (and the brave auxiliary soldiers who man it) provides the physical security for the northern frontier of the mighty Roman Empire. However, only some enlightened few understand the graver supernatural threats lurking among the dark forests and trackless marshes of the border region. Those few are yourselves, the Brotherhood, initiates into the Mysteries of Mithras serving among the auxiliaries at the Wall.
Last year you successfully saved both your fort, Vercovicium, and the warriors of the Votadini tribe to the north from a terrible fate. Even so, you were surprised to receive an urgent plea for assistance from a senior Votadini druid. Details are sparse, but it seems that some ancient power has been disturbed and Romans may be to blame. It's likely, once again, that only you have the skills to solve the mystery before it's too late.

Smythe's Discreet Investigations has been hired by Lady Carruthers to check into the background of the man who wishes to marry her orphaned niece. A completely routine investigation - or is it?
Description:
Smythe's Discreet Investigations is London's first, and so far only, all-female detective agency. The request from the Dowager Lady Carruthers to check into the background of the man who wishes to marry her orphaned great-niece -- heir, with her sisters, to the sizeable Carruthers fortune -- seems to be nothing out of the ordinary. Is Richard devoted to Dorothea or just after her money? Or will he impolitely simply disappear as her previous fiance did?

Britannia 225CE. When a mysterious sickness strikes their fort on Hadrian's Wall just as the tribes to the north are becoming belligerent, the auxiliary soldiers of the Brotherhood must investigate.
Description:
In 225CE Hadrian's Wall in Britannia - along with the brave auxiliary soldiers who man it - provides the physical security for the northern frontier of the mighty Roman Empire. However, only some enlightened few understand the graver supernatural threats lurking among the dark forests and trackless marshes of the border region. Those few are yourselves, the Brotherhood, the initiates into the Mysteries of Mithras among the auxiliaries guarding the Wall. And now your home fort of Vercovicium is once again beset by troubles: a mysterious sickness has afflicted many of the garrison, leaving the fort dangerously undermanned just as the tribes to the north are becoming more belligerent under a new charismatic leader. Worse still, this malady has struck down the head of your own Brotherhood. Is this a supernatural attack? Only you have the skills to find out before it is too late.

A troubled mathematics researcher has vanished & so has a rare copy of "Alice's Adventures In Wonderland". Rumours of a new drug are circulating in 1970s Oxford.
Description:
Few people understand what Owen McMahon is working on at Oxford's Mathematical Institute, but he has not been at his desk for several days. And a new exhibition celebrating the life and work of the Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, better known to most as Lewis Carroll, has been thrown into turmoil; its prize artifact, a copy of Alice's Adventures In Wonderland illustrated (and signed) by Dali, is nowhere to be found. Meanwhile, students looking for a way to improve their memory and concentration are being tempted by mysterious bottles labelled "Drink Me"....
