  The Great Escape from the...

  The Inescapable Prison has long stood as a symbol of absolute confinement, a fortress so impenetrable that even the thought of escape seemed futile. Perched on an isolated island, surrounded by treacherous waters and patrolled by an elite cadre of guards, this prison was designed to crush not just the body but also the spirit. Its towering walls, crafted from stone rumored to be unbreakable, and its maze-like interiors presented an overwhelming challenge for anyone bold—or desperate—enough to dream of freedom. Over decades, countless prisoners tried to outwit the prison’s relentless grip, and every attempt ended the same way: failure. 
    
  Yet, one astonishing escape shattered this narrative. It was not achieved by a team of trained spies or hardened criminals with an arsenal of resources. Instead, it was the work of ordinary men driven by extraordinary resolve. They weren’t just fighting for freedom; they were fighting against the very idea of impossibility. What makes their story so remarkable is not just the outcome, but the sheer ingenuity, determination, and courage that brought them to the brink of what seemed unattainable. 
    
  This book tells the true tale of how these men, trapped in the most secure prison of their time, defied insurmountable odds. With nothing more than their wits and an unyielding desire to reclaim their lives, they devised a plan so daring, so intricate, that it remains one of the most celebrated escapes in history. Each step of their journey—from the formation of their plan to the harrowing final moments of their flight—is a testament to human resilience and resourcefulness.

  The Pacific Northwest lies in ruins in the aftermath of the 9.2 Cascadia earthquake. There is a tsunami at the coast, annihilated infrastructure in all the towns and cities, and failed dams in the Oregon river valley where fifteen-year-old Cielo lives with her mother, a fearful evangelical who’s become caught up in a fearsome cult called The Collection of Redeemed Souls. Cielo and her mother, Mexican citizens without U.S. papers, have always had their status teeter on the edge—and now it’s about to plunge into the abyss. When the earthquake hits, Cielo’s mother hasn’t been home in days, but Cielo suspects that she’s holed up with the cult and might even be dead. When the National Guard arrives to evacuate survivors, she stays behind in the flooded city to find her body. Members of The Collection of Redeemed Souls have also chosen to stay, and their disciples are capturing anyone still left behind and converting them to the cult by force. Entering a deadly game of cat-and-mouse, Cielo tries to evade the cult at every turn as she desperately searches for her mother’s remains. With gunfights and mass killings engulfing the city, Cielo is one step away from her own demise, but the bonds of blood drive her on toward a confrontation with pure evil—and a final chance for her mother’s redemption.

  The Great War has ended, but for Amy Vanneck, there is no peace. Her fiancé, Edward Haslam, a lieutenant in the 7th Manchesters, is missing, presumed dead. Amy travels to the desolate battlefields of northern France to learn his fate and recover his body. She’s warned that this open-air morgue is no place for a civilian, much less a woman, but she’s willing to brave the barbed wire, the putrid water, and the rat-infested tunnels that dot the landscape. Her search is upended when she discovers the scene of a gruesome mass murder. What does it signify? Soon, she begins to have suspicions that Edward might not be dead. Disquieting and yet compulsively listenable, Two Storm Wood builds to an ending that is both thrilling and emotionally riveting.

  "The two of us against all of them? How unfair for them." 
  In Velles, a cosmopolitan city of fading magic, the prince’s daughter, and heir to the throne, has gone missing. That she appears to have done so voluntarily is of little consolation to the prince. 
  He hires Hokuren, a newly independent private investigator who demands perfection of herself and works tirelessly until she’s solved the case. And she always solves the case–even if most of them so far have been finding lost pet cats (don’t tell anyone that part). 
  Her assistant is Cinna, an elf hired fresh off the streets–literally. She’s everything Hokuren is not: sloppy, uneducated, and lacking in restraint or filter. But Cinna’s impulsiveness and willingness to get her hands dirty makes her the perfect foil for Hokuren’s reserved, thoughtful nature. 
  As the two chase down the princess, their case develops into a much bigger conspiracy. Hokuren doggedly pursues secret after secret, unraveling a scheme to find a long-lost goddess that’s been running in the background of Velles’s seedy underbelly for over two decades. And she might find out that her unassuming assistant hides the biggest secret of them all... 
  A lighthearted and fast-paced fantasy adventure full of action, mystery and sly humor, Cinnamon Soul is also the heart-warming exploration of an unbreakable bond of friendship forged between two women as they struggle against the forces of the elite and powerful.

  Hayley Snow looks forward to reviewing For Goodness Sake, a new floating restaurant that promises a fresh take on Japanese delicacies like flambéed grouper with locally sourced seaweed.

The quirky performers of the daily Sunset Celebration are struggling to hold onto their performance space. The fight for Mallory Square has renewed old rivalries between Hayley’s Tarot-card reading friend Lorenzo and a flaming-fork-juggling nemesis, Bart Frontgate—but things take a deadly turn when Bart is found murdered. If Lorenzo could read his own cards, he might draw The Hanged Man. He can only hope that Hayley draws Justice as she tries to clear him of murder…
