    PARIS, 1874 
Everyone has dreams. 
Benedict Svoboda knows what it means to experience loss. After the death of his mother, the rejection of his father, and the loss of his mentor, Ben is determined all the more to protect those in his care—and none more so than his beloved wife, Marguerite. 
However, Marguerite is no stranger to espionage. Having worked with Lady Penelope Ollerton-Wellesley and the Order of the Crystal Daggers for many years, Marguerite is able—and perhaps too eager—to work with Ben on his various missions, despite his objections. 
After arriving in Paris to oversee the signing of the Second Treaty of Saigon, their mission is soon interrupted by the theft of a priceless painting—and Ben is the primary suspect. 
Now, to find the true culprit and prove his innocence, Ben must work with Marguerite, even as they realizes not all is as it seems, and there is more danger yet to face …

    Death is only the beginning. 
Shadow Island is a wreck. Buildings lay in rubble, construction crews swarm the island, and the aftermath of the Yacht Club Massacre has left many dead. But at least Sheriff Rebecca West put an end to the violence against young girls by dismantling the elite men’s club. 
Or so she thought. 
When a teenage girl is found stabbed and half-buried in a makeshift grave at the local cemetery, her arms carved with occult symbols, whispers of dark rituals and black magic spread through the community. The victim’s friends insist she died from the legendary witch’s curse. But when a second girl is violently murdered, Rebecca fears a far more sinister—and human—threat. 
Unfortunately, the witch’s curse isn’t the only myth refusing to stay buried. And the teen’s corpse only scratches the surface of the horrors lurking beneath the cemetery. 
Shadow’s Fate, the bewitching sixteenth installment of the Shadow Island Series by Mary Stone and Lori Rhodes, is a testament that there are, indeed, fates worse than death.
