The Shadows of Kovensehn: The Cursed Attic

Arthur Anderson

Publisher: BookRix

Summary

In the tranquil village of Kovensehn, nestled amidst green hills and dense forests, life used to follow its peaceful and undisturbed course. Its inhabitants had known each other for generations, and the old houses whispered stories of times gone by. But even in the most serene places, secrets can hide in the shadows, and curiosity can unleash forces that should never have been set free.
On a sunny summer afternoon, a young and determined couple, Arina and Denys, arrived in Kovensehn seeking a fresh start. Their old life in the city had been a whirlwind of stress and anxiety, and they longed for a quiet refuge for themselves and their young daughter, Annael. With a house that seemed to emerge from a fairy tale, Kovensehn appeared to be the perfect place to begin anew.
However, their idyllic life would soon take a sinister turn. Inside the house they had acquired, at the very top of the attic, they found a locked door. Neighbors' rumors warned of the forbidden room, but Arina and Denys' curiosity proved stronger than any caution.
Opening the room unleashed an ancient and dark evil that threatened to plunge Kovensehn into a nightmare no one could have imagined. Shadows spread, inexplicable events shook the village's peace, and in the midst of it all, Arina and Denys were forced to confront a terrifying reality.
This is the account of their struggle, a battle against an evil that should have never been set free, a fight that would lead them to uncover dark secrets buried in the village's past and forge an unbreakable alliance with their brave neighbor, Kateryna.
Join Arina, Denys, and their daughter Annael on a journey through the shadows as they confront the terror they have unleashed and make unthinkable sacrifices in their quest for redemption.

A Lethal Walk in Lakeland

Nicholas George

Former San Diego detective Rick “Chase” Chasen has found a welcome change of pace on walking tours in the British countryside. But England’s green and pleasant land can hide all kinds of surprises—including murder …

Chase has two compelling reasons for returning to England—a group walk along the famed Coast to Coast trail in the picturesque Lake District, and a chance to further his relationship with Mike, the handsome Devonshire coroner he met on his last trip. The walkers, including Chase’s dear friend and fellow Anglophile Billie Mondreau, assemble at a Cumbrian hotel and begin their adventure with the traditional “baptism of the boots” in St. Bee’s Bay. But they’ve barely begun traveling eastward with their genial guide than the group dynamic turns unexpectedly rocky.

The problem is the Uptons—a wealthy family who have arrived from Texas, and whose squabbling antics continually overshadow the bucolic surroundings. Brock Upton, tall and commanding, is traveling with his pint-sized wife and his three siblings, along with a family friend. Every member of the party cites a different reason for joining the tour, and Chase’s instincts tell him they’re all lying.

Brock’s heart condition hinders their progress through the Lake District’s hills and dales. But that proves the least of their problems when one of the Uptons is fatally poisoned. Years of secrets and grudges emerge, along with a decades-old family mystery. And only Chase’s investigative expertise can find the answers—and uncover a killer in their midst before tragedy befalls the tour again …
