The tales are characterized by their colorful imagery, featuring magical horses, brave tsareviches, and trials of wit and strength. It captures the unique cultural heritage of Eastern Europe, where the boundaries between the village and the magical forest are thin. The volume stands out for its energetic pacing and the fresh, often surprising logic of its magic systems.

    A night at the opera ends in murder. Lady Marjorie will need to be at her razor-sharp best... 
    Lady Marjorie Snellthorpe agrees to accompany her cousin-in-law, Edna Parkinton on an organised tour, starting in Romania. 
    Looking for rest and relaxation after their last trip ended in a murder investigation, things don't quite go to plan. Edna is pleased when Horace Tyler from their previous holiday joins them, and Marjorie believes she has found a new friend in Frederick Mackworth. Their peace is shattered when they meet an argumentative and annoying sextet, including a petulant diva. This is made worse when the whole party is detained in Cluj-Napoca after a body is discovered at the end of their night at the opera. 
    The death of one among their company raises questions about who might have wanted to kill the seemingly unpopular diva. With a plethora of suspects, Marjorie and Edna lock horns while trying to discover who was responsible. 
    It appears the dead woman's friends and family are more interested on continuing with their holiday than finding a killer. With each harbouring secrets they would rather remain untold, Marjorie and her pensioner pals have their work cut out. 
    Can Marjorie get to the bottom of a troubling murder without killing her cousin-in-law and ending up in a Romanian jail? 
    Murder at the Opera House is the first in a rollicking new series. Don't be fooled by the ages of this quartet. They mean business... 
    If you like determined sleuths, jaw-dropping surprises, and detailed investigative work, you’ll love this humorous group of pensioners.

    Story of my life. 
     
     
     
    The name's Joey Santana and my twenty-fifth birthday didn't necessarily go as planned. In a world where supernaturals and humans live together, I was attacked, then saved by none other than the Alpha of the Los Angeles Pack. But with survival came a price. And I wasn't sure if I was ready to pay it. 
     
     
     
    Fast forward and I'm waking up the next morning in some stranger's house with a half-naked man coming out of a bathroom. Awkward. And it so happens to be the Alpha's son, Reed Stone. Right off the bat, he knows I'm trouble with a capital T since there haven't been any humans turned into supes since supernaturals were outed five years ago. But if he thinks I'm going to sit back and take whatever he's got coming, he's painfully mistaken. I might have been human, but I now have canines, and I bite. 
     
     
     
    We're forced to work together to wade through the supernatural politics and threats that await me. Our personalities clash in a battle of wills for dominance as the two of us grow closer together to solve the biggest mystery of all—why the hell would my father want to kill me? 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.

    Barzai the Wise, a high priest and prophet greatly learned in the lore of the "gods of earth", or Great Ones, attempts to scale the mountain of Hatheg-Kla in order to look upon their faces, accompanied by his young disciple Atal. Upon reaching the peak, Barzai at first seems overjoyed until he finds that the "gods of the earth" are not there alone, but rather are overseen by the "other gods, the gods of the outer hells that guard the feeble gods of earth!" Atal flees, and Barzai is never seen again.
