  At Gravesyde Priory, each new arrival is either a blessing—or a threat . . . 
   
   
   
  Wycliffe Manor has been neglected for decades. Its new heirs are determined to create a welcoming home. Yet soon after the latest family moves in, bones are uncovered in the orchard . . . and odd strangers arrive. 
   
   
   
  When her curate father returns his family to Gravesyde for the marriages of the manor's heirs, gawky spinster Patience Upton has high expectations—until her father is murdered. Shock at learning her father had a mysterious past leads to alarm that the killer may have been after his notebook, which she now possesses. 
   
   
   
  After the chapel is ransacked and a witness killed, it's clear the murderer isn't done. Desperate to find the truth, Patience accepts the aid of Henri Lavigne, Wycliffe Manor's smooth-talking rake. Intent on saving his new home and family from danger, Henri is drawn to the clergyman's guileless daughter but wonders if she hasn't reason to conceal the killer's identity. 
   
   
   
  Before there will be any courting, much less marrying, the inhabitants of the manor realize if they want a chance at a future, they must hunt the killer themselves. But are they hunting one murderer . . . or more?

  Alfred McLelland Burrage was born in Hillingdon, Middlesex on 1st July, 1889. His father and uncle were both writers, primarily of boy’s fiction, and by age 16 AM Burrage had joined them.  The young man had ambitions to write for the adult market too.  The money was better and so was his writing. 
  From 1890 to 1914, prior to the mainstream appeal of cinema and radio the printed word, mainly in magazines, was the foremost mass entertainment.  AM Burrage quickly became a master of the market publishing his stories regularly across a number of publications. 
  By the start of the Great War Burrage was well established but in 1916 he was conscripted to fight on the Western Front. He continued to write during these years documenting his experiences in the classic book War is War by Ex-Private X. 
  For the remainder of his life Burrage was rarely printed in book form but continued to write and be published on a prodigious scale in magazines and newspapers.  In this volume we concentrate on his supernatural stories which are, by common consent, some of the best ever written.  Succinct yet full of character each reveals a twist and a flavour that is unsettling…..sometimes menacing….always disturbing.

  Turns out, being a Dragon Rider isn't all exhilarating flights and stolen kisses . . . 
   
  It also means surviving a brutal training program and facing off against rivals who want me gone. 
   
  Did I mention I'm human and everyone expects me to crash and burn? 
   
  But that's not all weighing on me. Between a dragon bond that grows stronger (and stranger) by the day, a mysterious wildfire threatening to engulf the countryside, and dangerous enemies moving against us in the shadows, it's hard enough to stay alive, let alone untangle the web of connections forming with my companions. 
   
  Each of these captivating, infuriating men challenges me in ways I never expected—pushing me, shielding me, and making me question loyalties I thought were unshakable. Keeping my heart out of the equation? Not likely. 
   
  If I'm going to rise from the ashes of sabotage and desire, I'll need to trust the bonds I've formed, even if it means risking my heart in the process. 
   
  Contains mature themes.
