  The legend deepens. 
  As the Songbird sits beside the old man—her father’s lifelong friend—the veil of the past begins to lift. Through his tale, she is pulled into the mystery she has long hungered for: the story of her father’s sacred Quest. 
  Across time and through realms unseen, he was challenged to face the test of heart, courage, and destiny. A sudden rift in time cast him into a world beyond his own, where ancient powers stirred and fate awaited him at a consecrated destination. There, amid prophecy and peril, he would encounter the one who would forever alter his path—the woman who would become the Songbird’s mother. 
  Koob of the Songbird: The Quest unveils the origins of an epic love written across centuries. Rich with natural mystic, magic, mystery, and mythological suspense, this second arc of the 333 Myth series pulls readers deeper into a timeless romance where destiny calls, and history remembers. Each arc reveals a new chapter in an ancient saga—where time bends to purpose, and the song of the soul echoes through eternity.

  Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
   
  In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
   
  The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
   
  Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
   
  In this volume we examine one of the great names from the past whose works invite life, rituals and the spirit world together to fashion dramatic and chilling unforeseen happenings.

  What the sea takes for its own can never return… 
  Portugal, 1754. Cecilia Lamb knew being a sea captain’s wife would mean a life of waiting and watching the horizon for her husband’s ship. But John has been gone longer than any voyage should last. Everyone else has given up hope of his return. But she knows in her bones that he is not lost. Gone, but not lost. 
  Barely able to tear her eyes from the shimmering sea, she feels drawn to the sun-baked shoreline, and amid the bustle of the docks she feels certain that her husband will come back to her. Though along with that feeling is another sense – that something darker is coming. As she sickens, she doesn’t know what the next tide will bring – but she begins to fear as well as crave her husband’s homecoming. 
  Soon, even on dry land, Cecilia can feel the pull of the ocean at her feet, the movement of the tides within her. Warning, seduction or promise, she cannot tell, but one thing is certain – the sea holds many secrets, and some of them are too powerful to ever be drowned. 
  In this latest work of fiction by Mathew West, the supernatural and gothic elements intertwine to create a thrilling narrative that will leave readers on the edge of their seats. The Water Child, a top pick among thrillers, delves into the darkest corners of the human psyche, exploring the horror that can arise from the depths of despair and longing. 
  For fans of Margery Allingham (The Tiger in the Smoke), Jess Kidd (The Night Ship), Elizabeth Macneal (The Burial Plot), Rebecca Netley (The Black Feathers), and Susan Stokes-Chapman (Pandora).
