A troubled mathematics researcher has vanished & so has a rare copy of "Alice's Adventures In Wonderland". Rumours of a new drug are circulating in 1970s Oxford.
Description:
Few people understand what Owen McMahon is working on at Oxford's Mathematical Institute, but he has not been at his desk for several days. And a new exhibition celebrating the life and work of the Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, better known to most as Lewis Carroll, has been thrown into turmoil; its prize artifact, a copy of Alice's Adventures In Wonderland illustrated (and signed) by Dali, is nowhere to be found. Meanwhile, students looking for a way to improve their memory and concentration are being tempted by mysterious bottles labelled "Drink Me"....

Britannia 223CE. Contact with an outpost north of Hadrian's Wall has been lost: a Pictish attack or supernatural event? As auxiliaries with proven special skills, the Brotherhood must investigate.
Description:
In 223CE Hadrian's Wall in Britannia provides the physical security for the northern frontier of the mighty Roman Empire. However, only some enlightened few can understand the graver supernatural threats lurking among the dark forests and trackless marshes beyond the border. Those few are yourselves, the Brotherhood, initiates into the Mysteries of Mithras among the auxiliaries guarding the Wall. After your success a few years ago in defeating a grave threat to your home fort of Vercovicium, you gained a measure of respect from the officers and no good deed goes unpunished. So now you are being sent into the barbarous lands north of the Wall to investigate what has happened to one of the remote outpost forts, amid confusing rumours from the area. You wouldn't be so concerned if the auguries weren't telling you that something very bad is about to happen...

In 220AD Hadrian's Wall & the legions guard the northern frontier of the
Roman Empire. But somehow it falls to you, the local initiates of Mithras,
to protect it against supernatural danger.
Description:
It is 220AD and Hadrian's Wall in Britannia guards the northern frontier of the mighty Roman Empire. The legions and auxiliaries (along with the Wall itself) protect the citizenry from attacks by the hostile tribes, but only some enlightened few know that there are graver threats lurking among the dark forests and trackless marshes beyond the border. Those few are yourselves, the local initiates into the Mysteries of Mithras, and you have been entrusted with protecting the region from supernatural danger. You've never had to do much more than propitiate a few angry river spirits in the past, but recently a number of disappearances and unexplained grisly deaths have occurred and the auguries are telling you that something very bad is about to happen...

It is 1925 & all is not as it should be at Exeter College, Oxford. The strange behaviour of a group of undergraduates is causing concern; a discreet investigation is required before scandal ensues.
Description:
It is 1925 and everything is not quite as it should be at Exeter College, Oxford. Undergraduates have been observed behaving very oddly and your diverse set of characters have been asked to investigate discreetly before a major scandal ensues. Is this just a case of youthful high spirits or is there something more sinister behind their conduct?

1944: the Axis are losing the War. The German High Command believe the British are breaking their codes, & are employing unconventional means to stop this. Can the Bletchley Coven counter them?
Description:
It is 1944 and the Axis are losing the war. Certain individuals in the German High Command have come to believe that the British have found a way to crack some of their military encryption and are employing unconventional means to stop them. As members of the Bletchley Coven and also staff at Station X - the top secret site where such code-breaking is indeed taking place - you are uniquely placed to stop them and, just maybe, save the whole Allied war effort - starting with renowned mathematician Alan Turing, who you fear is being targeted. Unfortunately, you must contend not just with arcane Nazi threats but also with the scepticism of your own superiors regarding anything that smacks of the supernatural.
