Some debts can’t be repaid.
The Gambler’s Den lies in ruins, its staff scattered across the Sand Sea, all but a memory of the minds of its past patrons. But when the Morning Star appears, ruled by a mysterious figure known only as the Hare, the comparisons can’t be helped. Who is this larger-than-life character? Why do the showgirls wear masks? What are they hiding? The answer…they should be dead.
Franco and Misu were safe only in their anonymity, but with Franco gone Misu must find him – jeopardizing all they have built. In order to save the man she trusts Misu must put her faith in the villain.
Wilheim does not forget disobedience lightly, and Misu’s was a great betrayal, so now he will call in his debt, and his revenge on the staff of the Morning Star.

CHRISTOPHER BYFORD
was born in 1980 in Wellingborough, England. He learnt to walk whilst holding on to a golden retriever and fondly remembers the days of BMX bikes and conker matches. He left college to suffer as an IT Manager for a small multinational before, in his words, escaping to Gloucester. After working for some large tech companies he seized the opportunity to become a full-time author. It was the best thing he’s ever done.
In the last few years Chris has penned various tales, DEN OF SHADOWS being his most prominent.
Away from literary things, his interests include all things VW Campervans, gardening, photography, astronomy and chicken keeping.
He finds talking about himself in the third person rather pedantic and could murder a cold pint of cider right about now.
Den of Stars was born from mystery and intrigue. It’s only fair that this theme extends to those who I wish to thank. Instead of being named here on a page that’s almost certain to be skipped, I ensured their contribution was acknowledged in a different manner. I approached these individuals and asked them for their input to be included – maybe the name of a product, maybe a turn of phrase, maybe one of these things, maybe both and more.
I leave it up to you to find out.
Naturally I am indebted to Hannah and all those at HQ, whose tireless pursuits have brought what you are reading now into existence. Helena managed to buff the tale into something
