How Satan Raised His Staff
(2026)(The first book in the Satan and His Staff series)
A novel by Elizabeth Roubaix
Beware this right bastard.
London, 1800. Fastolf Wenlock wakes from an eighty-one-year nap in a churchyard tomb to discover that society has gone completely, unforgivably soft. Love matches. Doting parents. Husbands and wives who actually enjoy each other’s company. Disgusting. An immortal rake with centuries of debauchery behind him, Wenlock sets out to put things right.
His first target: the ton’s most nauseatingly happy marriage. Wenlock’s staff is pointed squarely at glorious chaos, but when the seduction goes sideways, he’s saddled with nine orphans who won’t leave his house.
Wenlock has survived swordfights and scandals. Feral children who won’t stay out of the fireplace are another matter entirely.
Satan’s most devoted acolyte has risen. And nine little demons are about to bring him to his knees.
How Satan Raised His Staff is the 10,000-word first story in the Satan and His Staff series. Expect a devilish undead rake, a found family he'd prefer to lose, and smut scenes filthy enough to rouse the dead.
