Strong Mystery is an omnibus, a collection of the first three books in the Owen Strong and Jinhao stories. BOOK ONE - STRONG ADEPT In Strong Adept, Raven Bond has created an inventive and highly mystical world, where East and West, the ancient ways and the Age of Steam intertwine. Murder and magic are at the heart of the first meeting of Owen Strong, Master Sorcerer, and the mysterious Imperial Adept, Jinhao. BOOK TWO - STRONG MAGIC The year is 1885. The city is an alternate Hong Kong. Some of the city's most powerful men are dead from what appear to be heart attacks. Though no evidence points to foul play, members of the British Crown's secretive Obsidian Order know something is amiss. Owen Strong is a former member of the secret sect and a Master Sorcerer who no longer has any interest in the Order-or its rules. He's recruited by the Order to come out of retirement to investigate the mysterious deaths and save his island city. When Owen and Jinhao discover that there are radicals in Hong Kong who are planning to assassinate key delegates to disrupt upcoming trade negotiations, it's not just Hong Kong that they must save: if they do not succeed, a world war will be imminent. BOOK THREE - STRONG JUSTICE In an alternate Hong Kong, Owen Strong is in trouble. He meets with an old friend from his school days in Britain who asks for his help in a personal matter, only to betray him. When Jinhao, Owen's mysterious Chinese companion, returns early from a visit with a sister who is a notorious pirate, she finds Owen missing. She will search for him with all her considerable martial and investigative skill, even if that means calling on the help of the Dragon ruler of Hong Kong. Nothing and no-one is going to stand in her way.

About the Author
RAVEN BOND I have always been interested in the fantastical, the otherworldly, and what might have been. From an early age, history has intrigued me, and I always felt at home with figures from the distant past. My love of science and speculative fiction began with the misfiling of Robert A Heinlein's Have Space Suit Will Travel in the children's section of the local library. This started a lifetime love affair with science fiction and fantasy novels. Along the way I have worked at diverse trades such as farm hand, bodyguard, call center tech support, tarot reader, traveler, and herder of cats. For the last few years, I have run a practice as a counselor and hypnotherapist. The best place to find news about upcoming projects as well as what I'm thinking about, is from my blog, ravenbond.com. You'll also find more background information on the alternate worlds of my stories there. I would love to hear from you, and will respond as I'm able. Welcome to my worlds. My books include Strong Adept, Strong Magic, Strong Justice, Strong Mystery (Books 1-3), Wind Dancer and the upcoming novel, Alien Devices.
