Nadia Sylvan: The Lady of Nyte

Posted on March 1, 2018 by Charles Yallowitz

Figure I should do to this character since I already did Xavier Tempest.  What’s the connection?  At least in the books, they’re husband and wife.  Nadia was a little mystery to me, which allowed me to have some fun.  All … Continue reading →
