Summary

After the orphanage she lives in is destroyed by fire, Betty, an innocent and trusting teen, takes a job as a maid in Kingston, Ontario. Welcomed into the household of the wealthy Remington clan, Betty makes friends with the staff at the house and soon discovers that her mother had also been a maid there—and that her father is in a nearby jail, convicted of murdering her mother. When she meets her father, she is taken aback by his claims of innocence, and she decides to try to uncover the truth about her mother’s murder and her father’s conviction. A friendly young policeman assists her in her investigation (and shows an interest in Betty that is more romantic than professional). But all is not well in the Remington household, and someone doesn’t want Betty to learn the truth.
Part of the SECRETS—a series of seven linked novels that can be read in any order.

    Sometimes we must do things we don't want to, even if they frighten us.
    
    Royal Blue is a royal racing pigeon from a long line of champions. Every morning he wakes in his comfortable loft at Sandringham House, eats the very best seeds and spends the day training with his best friend to be the fastest and strongest pigeon in Britain.
    
    But there's a war going on, and things are changing. Then one day the King himself comes to the loft and chooses Blue for a very special assignment.
    
    As Blue goes on missions, helping with rescues, carrying secret messages and facing dangers he never could have imagined, one thing will become clear: never underestimate a pigeon.

    The Archduke Conference has come to an end, but Ehrenfest’s archducal family is still reeling from the fresh troubles it brought. As if a surprising ceremony and the Sovereign temple’s schemes weren’t unusual enough, Rozemyne manages to deliver the killing blow with a truly unexpected announcement:
     
    “My current adoption is being nullified, and the king will take me as his daughter instead.”
     
    Chaos ensues, but what is done cannot be undone. Rozemyne has one year before she must depart for the Sovereignty—one year to tie up so many loose ends—but she needs not act alone. “Stay true to yourself, and continue to forge your own way,” her noble mother Elvira tells her, watching affectionately as her daughter prepares for the road ahead.
     
    There’s so much to be done in the newest volume of this biblio-fantasy! Those in Rozemyne’s service have an important choice to make, and their decisions will open doors for the future.
     
    Includes two short stories and four-panel manga by You Shiina.

    Greater duchies, the Sovereignty, the royal family, even the gods themselves—Rozemyne will take on anyone in her quest to rescue Ferdinand.

To war!
     
    As the battle against Lanzenave commences, Georgine finally begins her invasion and triggers the Defense of Ehrenfest. Can the combined forces of the temple and the lower city’s commoners help keep the duchy safe? And canRozemyne secure victory in this game of true ditter?!
     
    The newest volume of this biblio-fantasy contains more than one hundred pages of original content not featured in the web novel. And as always, look forward to more four-panel manga by You Shiina!
