Oscar was supposed to deliver a poetry recital, not the apocalypse. A poet, a world at war, and a very stubborn refusal to help. Oscar Teabag-Dooven, former Velvet Paw of Asquith and occasional poet, is ready to leave the chaos behind. Having faced tendony beasts, collapsing palaces, poetic terrorists and exploding pastries, he’d much prefer foccussing on the opening night of his theatrical debut. Unfortunately, the world has other ideas. With monstrous, skinless creatures tearing across kingdoms and the sinister Ar’dath-Irr wielding dark magic like its going out of fashion, Oscar is again hailed as the hero that entire planets need. But he’s not interested. He’s tired, jaded and more invested in rhyming couplets than strategic warfare. But when your verse is bad enough to incite mass genocide, and rage is the only thing standing between innocence and annihilation, you work with what you’ve got. While Tabby Miss Cakes and a cast of hundreds turns a peaceful world into a stage for extreme violence and loathing, Oscar prepares to debut his masterpiece. Too bad the Ar’dath-Irr arrives first—and he’s brought the end of everything with him. Book 3 of the Morigan Tetralogy: Where poetry is peril, fluff is fatal, and the show must definately not go on. To Blunt The Sharpest Claw is a battle cry for the disillusioned, a laugh-out-loud tale of misfired destiny and a reminder that sometimes the sharpest weapons are words, partiulcarly when containing pointy letters. “This much rubbish from only 26 letters?” - Gavin and Stephen Rye, Inflammatory Garbage Collectors. “Corfield blurs the boundary between rubbish and garbage, and does justice to neither.” - Aiden White, Barrington Points Lighthouse Keeper. “Judging by their stupidity, these books are clearly written from experience.” - Christian Lauder, Aspiring Capricorn.Ver livro
As the walls of the house at Predicament Avenue reveal their hidden truths, two women--generations apart--discover that fear and foreboding are no respecters of time. In 1910, Effie James is committed to doing anything to save her younger sister, who witnessed a shocking murder, leaving her mute and in danger of the killer's retribution. Effie must prove what her sister saw, but when a British gentleman arrives, he disrupts Effie's quest with his attempts to locate his wife, Isabelle Addington, who was last seen at the supposed crime scene in the abandoned house at 322 Predicament Avenue. Just as Effie discovers what she seeks, she finds that the blood staining the walls will forever link her to a scandal she couldn't imagine, and to a woman whose secrets promise to curse any who would expose them. A century later, Norah Richman grapples with social anxiety and grief as she runs her late great-aunt's bed-and-breakfast on Predicament Avenue. But Norah has little affection for the house and is committed only to carrying out her murdered sister's dreams until crime historian and podcaster Sebastian Blaine arrives to investigate the ghostly legacy of the house's claim to fame--the murder of Isabelle Addington. When a guest is found dead, the incident is linked to Isabelle's murder, and Norah and Sebastian must work together to uncover the century-old curse that has wrapped 322 Predicament Avenue in its clutches and threatens far more than death.Ver livro
