2024 Selah Award Winner, 2024 Christy Award Winner, and Carol Award Finalist 
 
For the first time in his life, Pete has everything to lose. 
 
After years of drifting, fifty-year-old Pete Ryman has settled down with his potbellied pig, Pearl, in the small Montana town of Sleeping Grass--a place he never expected to see again. It's not the life he dreamed of, but there aren't many prospects for a high-school dropout like him. 
 
Elderly widow Wilma Jacobsen carries a burden of guilt over her part in events that led to Pete leaving Sleeping Grass decades ago. Now that he's back, she's been praying for the chance to make things right, but she never expected God's answer to leave her flat on her face--literally--and up to her ears in meddling. 
 
When the younger sister Pete was separated from as a child shows up in Sleeping Grass with her eleven-year-old son, Pete is forced to face a past he buried long ago, and Wilma discovers her long-awaited chance at redemption may come at a higher cost than she's willing to pay. 
 
"Katie Powner brings both humor and heft to the page as she celebrates simple pleasures and not-so-simple love."--JULIE CANTRELL, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of Perennials

    Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz. 
    There are Lovecraft stories that roar with cosmic terror — ancient gods, unknowable entities, the madness of knowledge. And then there is What the Moon Brings. This short, haunting piece is not a tale in the traditional sense, but a dream — or rather, a descent. It belongs to that strange and shadowy corner of Lovecraft’s imagination where logic erodes, and we are left adrift in a realm shaped by mood, moonlight, and the whisper of things not quite seen. First published in 1923, What the Moon Brings reads like a surreal reverie drenched in symbolism. It’s soaked in decay, beauty, and death — and it ends not with a revelation, but with an abyss. It offers no monsters, no names, no answers. Only images… and dread. This is Lovecraft at his most dreamlike, a foreshadowing of the rich, inward landscapes he would explore more fully in The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath and Ex Oblivione. It is a story that does not explain itself — it feels itself through you. Read it not for plot, but for atmosphere. Let it soak into your skin like moonlight on black water. Let it show you what the moon brings — when the dreamer can no longer wake.

    When Helen Davenport is found strangled in her fashionable London flat, the discovery shocks even those who thought they knew her best. Glamorous, charming, and with just enough scandal in her past to raise eyebrows, Helen had always walked a dangerous line between admiration and envy. But who hated her enough to kill? 
    Enter Scott Egerton, amateur sleuth and Member of Parliament, who quickly realizes this is no ordinary crime of passion. Behind Helen’s glittering façade lies a web of secrets: blackmail, betrayal, and a scandalous past that someone was desperate to keep buried. With Scotland Yard circling in one direction and Egerton digging in another, the truth becomes more elusive—and far deadlier—than anyone suspects. 
    The Murder of Mrs Davenport is a taut, atmospheric classic from Anthony Gilbert (pseudonym of Lucy Beatrice Malleson), blending biting social observation with razor-sharp plotting. A must-read for fans of Agatha Christie, Ethel Lina White, and Golden Age crime.

    His experiment shouldn't have wrecked his lab, created a portal to another dimension, or sucked him through said portal. 
     
     
     
    Despite all that, Charles Smith found himself landing atop the emissary of an evil group of mages called the Shadow Council. 
     
     
     
    Literally on top of him, along with half the gear from his lab, which had the fortunate side-effect of turning the evil sorcerer into paste. 
     
     
     
    This won Charles the gratitude of King Alfred, ruler of the Kingdom of Kortall and the man who said sorcerer had been threatening moments before Smith's arrival. 
     
     
     
    But the reward for a job well done is always more work! 
     
     
     
    Alfred quickly recruits Charles to help defend his kingdom against the invading army. Wildly outmatched, Alfred's forces are on the verge of being crushed. If he falls, there will be little to stop the Shadow Council from taking over the entire world. 
     
     
     
    Charles will need every trick he knows, including a lot of science, some engineering—and maybe even a little bit of magic—if Kortall is to have any hope of surviving!

    When a street brawl lands him in a coma only weeks into the year, his chances of graduating are all but shot.

    But kingdom life is not like the outer-cities, and kingdom kids are far more ruthless about who they'll allow to climb to the top. Jiyong will have to train hard and fight for every score to make it in this wealthy academy for powerful families, all while supporting his own from afar.
