The Glass of Time

A semi-sequel to Cox's impressive debut,
Glass revisits some of
Night's main characters yet manages to reveal
several still-hidden secrets. This work is the recollection of
Ezperanza Alice Gorst, who unexpectedly finds herself in the
center of a decades-long conspiracy. Gorst holds the key to
unraveling the tapestry of deception, but is she willing to do
so, even at great cost? While stretched at times, the story
never stops building momentum. Another superb effort from Cox.

Revenge drives Edward Glyver, who blames all the wrongness of
his life on one man. He plans to exact revenge via murder. So
Glyver painstakingly prepares and hones his rage, wishing to
ensure that his scheme meets with success. But has fate truly
intertwined these two lives, or has Glyver fallen victim to his
own trap? For a debut novel, Cox has crafted a remarkably
well-written piece of historical fiction that resonates with
basic human emotion.
