A song by Rachel Lawson

By Rachel Lawson. Dedicated to my rebels in my family, Simon de Montfort, who kidnapped King Henry III, my ancestor, William Marshal, and some of the other Magna Carta barons who rebelled against my ancestor King John. Roger Mortimer, who ran away with a queen, the She Wolf of France, my ancestor, also. The Anarchy leaders King Stephen, King David, Robert Earl of Gloucester, Strongbow, and El Cid, who fought on two sides

(Think: a troubadour with lute, steady rhythm, rising heroic refrain)**“Hear now the tale of the Fox in the night,A shadow of justice, a rider in flight.From Sherwood’s deep silence to court’s golden flame,He battles a tyrant who curses his name.Blake de Clare, the knight who would not die,Who rose from the grave ’neath a star‑burning sky.His lady imprisoned, his honour betrayed,He rides for rebellion the Marshal has made.Oh gather, good people, and lend us your ear,For the Fox walks the moonlight when danger draws near.A mask in the darkness, a vow in his chest—This is the Night Fox… the legend begins its quest.”**(Lute flourish, drums rising, fade into narration.)

Theme song

When stage magician Blake Fire drowns his grief in cheap whiskey and a doomed game of dawn‑lit solitaire, the last thing he expects is to be mistaken for a mafia hitman. One dead café owner, one very confused police force, and one extremely irritated King of Death later… Blake does what any innocent man would do: he hides in Hell and listens to Coldplay on repeat.But when his necromancer son drags him back to reality, Blake unleashes an army of reapers, confronts the real killers, and proves that even the Grim Reaper’s boss can have a very bad day.A darkly comic supernatural crime caper where death has a sense of humour—and a temper.
