  Halku, the poor farmer somehow manages to save three rupees to buy a new blanket which he needs while guarding his field in the dark winter nights. But Sahna, his landlord comes to his doorstep and asks for the money that Halku owes him. The winter nights were so cold that without a blanket there was no way he could sleep out in the open. Munni, his wife, was reluctant to give that money. But what would Halku choose? Dying in the dark winter night without a blanket or listening to the landlord's abuses?
  
  This has been translated from the famous original Hindi story called "Poos Ki Raat" written by Munshi Premchand. He is one of the most celebrated writers of the Indian subcontinent, and is regarded as one of the foremost Hindustani writers of the early twentieth century.

  When Francis House enlists in the British Army in 1907, at the tender age of fifteen years and three months, he is not thinking about war. He imagines he simply wants to earn his stripes – to ease his traumatised father's Boer War memories, or perhaps to please his favourite sister, Lily, with whom he has always dreamt of adventure. But he soon discovers that simply becoming a soldier is not enough and, against the advice of his sergeant, he determines to seek out a real fight. Wading ashore at Gallipoli seven years later, Francis thinks he might just have found the site of his greatest opportunity. Here, he thinks, he might finally prove himself a man. First, though, he must find his missing friend Berto.
  He needs to say sorry. He cannot yet imagine the ghosts that might stand in his way.

  In the chilling conclusion of the trilogy, Kat is left to pick up the pieces after Adam’s untimely death, but her own secrets threaten to unravel her. 
   
  As Tom, her young son, starts acting strangely—seeing and hearing things that aren't supposed to be there—Kat’s sense of reality begins to warp. Luke, now free from Sandra, urges her to move on, but doubts linger, especially after their former boss’s house is mysteriously sold on the day of Adam’s funeral. And when a woman, eerily reminiscent of Imogen moves in, Kat is drawn to her—but something feels off. The more she learns, the more she suspects their meeting was more than coincidence. 
   
  People connected to Adam’s dark past begin to meet grim fates, and Kat is left wondering how much of it is out of her control—or if she’s part of a bigger, more sinister plan. Is she being followed, or is her paranoia a sign that something far more menacing is at play?
