Alright, so we’re slightly less f*cked.

Not all of us. And most of us only slightly. And not me personally—me personally actually more f*cked, I would argue—but us collectively—the Order of the Magi, you Blissful, the world—all slightly less f*cked.

You’re welcome.

For those of you who are new: my name is Cicero James, and I’m immortal. Technically The Immortal, the latest in a long line of similar can’t-die unfortunates who drive something called The Eternal Cycle. I’m a sign the world’s ending. I’m supposed to save it, too, but I’m not the kind of guy you’d usually trust to do something like that. So. Odds aren’t great at the moment.

But we show up and we try.

There’s a lot to catch you up on. Exciting new peril, a citywide crisis, new friends and foes. Deceit and daring rescues. We’re bringing you the whole package.

Oh—and monsters. Lots and lots of monsters.

And of course, yours truly. Dying to tell you all about it.

New to Cicero? Start with Miracle Worker.

Rave Reviews for “Cicero James, Ardent Fool”

A brash and brilliant slice of urban fantasy… breathlessly paced, hilarious off the cuff, and strikingly self-aware… equally entertaining and thought-provoking.

— Self-Publishing Review

A thoughtful urban fantasy. Emerson did not disappoint in this follow-up to Miracle Worker. I enjoyed the humor, blend of action, and reflective moments.

— Demetria Head, Reader Views

This is a great read, as pure fiction, but the moral imperative of good versus evil is as real now as it ever was, perhaps even more so. I loved Cicero James, Ardent Fool, and highly recommend it.
