The Cursed Baron The Glorious Victories of Eleanor MacLeod - Book One
The first book of Eleanor's saga starts out as an Agatha Christie style murder mystery with an aristocratic weekend get-together in a derelict mansion plagued by dark secrets, familial lies, and homicidal intentions. When the best laid plans go horrifically awry, can a shell-shocked, half-human soldier and a clever VAD nurse unwind the truth before a ruthless killer strikes again?
The Cursed Baron starts off the five book series with more questions than answers – answers that will unfold with more intrigue, romance, adventure, and danger in the subsequent four books of the series, all published together as one fully-integrated 2,800+ page epic.
As much about the inevitable cycles of change and rebirth as they are about the cozy comfort of a life filled with unconditional love, all five books of the series are being published at once. They are intended to be read in order as one continuous saga. This is Book One, the perfect place to start.
Angels in Disguise The Glorious Victories of Eleanor MacLeod - Book Two
Are you my fairy godmother, or my meddling magical mother-in-law? It is a question that the practical, spinster, veteran nurse never thought she’d be asking, and yet, only months after letting herself be seduced by one Colonel Edmund Marriner, a gentle, witty, handsome, half-human soldier, her pragmatic, uneventful life has been turned upside down. After Eleanor embarks on a wedding of the ages followed by a honeymoon with too much adventure, she is forced to choose between protecting her new husband’s secrets and saving the lives of innocent bystanders as a series of nefarious government spy plots from Paris to Constantinople threaten to rock not just her marriage, but the illustrious colonial British Empire itself. Will she find the strength to make the right imperfect choices when it matters most? Angels in Disguise, a spy novel with many fantastic twists, is the second book of Eleanor's five book saga.
Damsels and Demons The Glorious Victories of Eleanor MacLeod - Book Three
Her wild honeymoon is only halfway over. Eleanor has already defeated a plethora of spies and fools. She’s overcome the most uncomfortable romantic challenges any girl could face on her honeymoon, settling into the odd patterns required to be the wife of a beautiful, tormented, half-human god. What could possibly go wrong? As Eleanor reaches the shores of her husband’s beloved native home, she realizes quickly that she is a pawn in a much greater game than she, or any of her divine allies, ever realized. Now that she’s finally resigned herself to a life of supporting the powerful, complicated beings around her, will she buckle under the pressure of her own unexpected divine destiny? Damsels and Demons, a modern fairy tale punctuated by mystery and romance, is the third book of Eleanor's saga.
Eastward Beyond the Sky The Glorious Victories of Eleanor MacLeod - Book Four
There were tumbleweeds blowing across the cracked, muddy earth as Eleanor disembarked from the train in the Western Australian backwater of Margaret River. She was glad that she wasn’t alone after her peaceful domestic life in the tea plantations of South India was decimated by a hubristic extravaganza of superhuman power. As she breathed in the infernal heat of an unseasonably warm austral spring, she was accompanied into the bush by an entourage of friends, spies, unrequited lovers, and gods – human and non-human alike. More than one of them was doomed, but only one of them knew it at the time.
With an unseen evil force causing monstrous mayhem, can Eleanor uncover the truth in time for an epic showdown, while keeping her most guarded secrets from the darkest enemies yet, and, more infuriatingly than ever, from her unsuspecting husband?
Eastward Beyond the Sky, an art deco western with an epic Hindu twist, is the fourth book of Eleanor's saga.
Before Midnight Ends The Glorious Victories of Eleanor MacLeod - Book Five
A tragedy that doesn’t end when the heroine dies, Before Midnight Ends is the fifth and final book of Eleanor's saga. It embraces the tragic mundanity of grief known only by those who have mourned in an abyss, and explores the quintessentially human struggle to survive and emerge after one’s world has collapsed into rubble.
As much about the inevitable cycles of change and rebirth as they are about the cozy comfort of a life filled with unconditional love, all five books of Eleanor's series were published at once in August 2019 for consideration in the KindleStorytellerUK contest. They are intended to be read in order as one continuous saga.
This final book in the series is both an ending and a new beginning.

"This is a FABULOUS read! … The story just flowed so well and the characters were very real and relatable - characters you care about and can't wait to find out what will happen next. I HIGHLY recommend this to those who enjoy great writing as well as a book that spans cultures and time/history." Sherri Smith, GoodReads
“Once the foundation was built, I thought I was on a ‘skyscraper’ metaphorically speaking. This book is outstanding.” Janet Arroyo, GoodReads
"THIS WAS SO GREAT! I absolutely love the world building … The ensemble cast of characters is also fantastic! They all have interesting backstories and distinct personalities. Writing is great, story is awesome, pacing on point." Verona Eekma de Vries, GoodReads
"I really enjoyed this book, it's made me feel better about YA. It's super well written, the characters are realistic and had realistic reactions to the events. I loved the independence and the strength of the female characters and that the main character, Supriya, didn't need to be saved as such. But she also wasn't this super powerful "I can do anything on my own" all of a sudden either. The mythology of the book was also well written and interesting. I loved that the few scenes that took place in India didn't have an "exotic wonderland" setting that a lot of YA has been doing recently. All in all this was great. Diverse, realistic and strong characters, a super interesting world and an interesting storyline :)" Gotherella BioVenom, GoodReads
"I am a fan of books that portray mythical stories with respect to the present era. With Sita Chronicles just doing it that way, my love for this book is immense! I keep waiting for the release of each book and would rush to grab a copy of it as soon as it is released. I am yet to read the 5th book but the other 4 books are awesome! Especially the 1st and the 4th. The story has been portioned in the right way and the suspense and grip is being maintained. My immense love and pride for Neha! Such a wonderful character and she is wonderfully portrayed in the series!" - Shenba L.
