Gabriel, Solomon, and Florian create a new life together in Vienna, but darkness awaits them. Their decisions have dire consequences as Florian's traumatic past rears its ugly head, and Solomon's former order seeks revenge.

Gabriel didn't plan on waking up naked in Vienna's Augarten with no memories of his life and a strange ability to detect magic. Before he can process who he is, a powerful spirit confronts him and demands that Gabriel return “what he stole”—or face eternal consequences.

As the nightmares descend, I will hold you dear... Six months after the life-altering events whose impact affected his higher soul, Gabriel is struggling not to lose everything he has managed to carve out for himself in Vienna with Florian and Solomon.

After losing someone precious to them, Gabriel has thrown himself headlong into learning magic, Florian has taken an enthusiastic apprentice under his wing, and Solomon has deepened his faith in order to grapple with an ever-changing world.

Florian is an MM novella and the fourth book in the Augarten series, which is best listened to in order. It contains a nerdy archivist, a grumpy middle-aged Viennese man who complains about baguettes, an appearance by a very sweet grandmother, and as always with Florian, lots of espresso.
