Synopsis

When science crosses the line, the results are monstrous…
Shipwrecked and stranded on a remote island, Edward Prendick discovers the disturbing domain of Doctor Moreau, a brilliant but ruthless scientist. In his hidden laboratory, Moreau conducts grotesque experiments—using vivisection and strange biological methods to transform animals into human-like beings.

As Prendick learns more about the Beast Folk and their creator, he is drawn into a chilling struggle for survival, morality, and sanity. First published in 1896, The Island of Doctor Moreau blends gothic horror, adventure, and cutting-edge science of its time, raising enduring questions about the nature of humanity, the limits of morality, and the dangers of unrestrained ambition.

Secrets of the Forgotten Heir -...

Heather G. Harris, Ella Stone

PI by day, reluctant witch by necessity—Beatrix has a case to crack and a legacy to reclaim.
I walked away from my magic, my past, and the home I was born to protect. For the last decade, I’ve been scraping by as a PI in the non-magical world, solving human problems and ignoring the legacy that should have been mine. My magic is barely worth mentioning—unless you count my menial ability to sense emotions, which is about as useful as a chocolate teapot.
But then my oldest friend breaks into my flat with a desperate plea and I’m suddenly heading back to Witchlight Cove—a hidden magical town on the British coast I swore I’d never see again.
The Eternal Flame, an enigmatic magic that protects the town, has vanished. A ruthless property developer is circling my family home like a vulture. And a poisoning at the village fête proves there’s something far worse lurking in the shadows. If I don’t figure out what’s going on, I’ll lose everything—not just my inheritance, but the only people I’ve ever called family.
With my fiercely loyal retriever by my side, a murder to solve, and a smug, insufferably attractive rival getting under my skin, Witchlight Cove is about to test me in ways I never imagined.
Some legacies can’t be escaped. Some flames refuse to die.
Perfect for fans of strong heroines, lovable animal sidekicks, and heart-racing urban fantasy, Secrets of the Forgotten Heir delivers action, charm, and supernatural surprises. With stand-alone mysteries, sharp humour, and a swoon-worthy slow-burn romance spanning the series, it’s an unmissable treat.
