  Empires don’t need kings. They need queens. 
  Freshly paroled from Holloway Prison, Pearl Armstrong returns to Soho not for nostalgia — but to reclaim the empire she built with blood, cunning and grit. 
  Her sons, Kristian and Daniel, have turned the Armstrong legacy into a shadow of its former self: crumbling clubs, unpaid debts and dangerous alliances. The Oyster Club, once a symbol of power and precision, teeters towards ruin — and now the vultures are circling. 
  In a city where loyalty is scarce and betrayal lurks in every shadow, Pearl must outthink, outfight and outlast a generation chasing flashbulbs over discipline. As old scores collide with new threats, she’ll learn the hardest lesson of all: empires aren’t inherited — they’re seized, one brutal move at a time. 
  And Pearl is still a queen with many more moves left… 
  'A gritty powerful story. A must read for fans of gangland crime' Bestselling author Kerry Kaya 
  'The characters were so real I'm still looking over my shoulder!' Bestselling author Owen Mullen

  Join Francie and the gang one last time as they team up to fight their most savage enemy of all: Kong’s fleas… 
  Yes, they’ve got to find the Baron and his sixth cursed book before untold horrors are unleashed on the town. 
  Of course a wealthy widow was poisoned at the first annual poetry slam competition. 
  And by now you shouldn’t be surprised to learn that an avant-garde performance art troupe has moved into Francie’s backyard and rehearsals consist of bongos, glitter and panda costumes. 
  But none of that will matter if the Jibbleson Sisters’ Flea-B-Gone Gamma Zapper Ray has malfunctioned and mutated fleas take over the whole world… 
  Author’s Note: I’ve shamelessly and gleefully indulged the deepest depths of absurdity in this book. Whether you consider this a promise or a warning is up to you.

  The Great Elvish Bake-Off Just Got DeadlyToday Candy Cane Hollow smells like butter and bravado. I'm helping at the Elvish Culinary Guild's grand induction and tasting, and Gilbert, our house-elf at Claus Cottage, has made the finalists' bench with his prized mince pie.Then the celebrity headliner takes one bite of a showpiece pie and drops. Guild security locks the doors while city police sweep the kitchens. Whispers fly: a rival with a temper, an apprentice with something to prove, a sponsor with money on the line, a producer who prefers ratings to recipes.It doesn't matter what else I hear; the police decide the killer is Gilbert. They circle the pantry, question his spice tins, and treat every crumb like a confession. With Mrs. Claus calming frantic caterers and Nick keeping me in cocoa and courage, I start sifting clues—swapped tins, "secret" blends, alibis that crumble under heat. This isn't bad pastry; it's careful malice.I'm not letting them pin a murder on my friend. I need answers before the Guild shutters the finals and Gilbert is led out in cuffs.
