Her signature Byzantine bracelets help her find work with an old jeweller in the city’s best food street, where her love of sharing food helps her make friends. She hates liars and thieves, but she has something they want. Is she being followed for her sense for silver or because of some backlash from her father’s shady dealings?

    In the flawless, sterile city of Halcyra, love comes with an expiration date. And a broken heart is a deadly contagion. 
    Genevieve Grace is the perfect instrument of the state. As a Licensed Mourning Mediator for the Ministry of Concordance, she has undergone a radical, irreversible neurological procedure to eradicate her capacity for empathy. Her job is simple: when a citizen’s assigned partner dies, Genevieve administers the chemical neutralizer that wipes away their grief, preserving the society's cold, calculating equilibrium. 
    She has never failed. She has never felt. Until Tobias Stewart. 
    Tobias is a quiet archivist who has committed the ultimate treason: he has refused to stop loving his deceased wife. He won't take the cure. He won't sign the dissolution contract. He would rather face the terrifying violence of a complete neurological wipe than surrender his memories of her. 
    Tasked with breaking him, Genevieve instead finds her impenetrable conditioning cracking. Tobias's profound, enduring sorrow isn't the chaotic madness the Ministry warned her about—it is an anchor. And as Genevieve listens to the ghost of a love story she was sent to destroy, an impossible, forbidden ache begins to bloom in her own empty chest. 
    The Weight of an Empty Room is the breathtaking second volume in John Newbill's The Ministry of Ruined Vows. It is a haunting exploration of dystopian control, psychological rebellion, and the beautiful, agonizing truth that some love simply refuses to die.

    Louisa MacDonald was born in 1845, one of eleven children of part Scottish descent.  Together with three of her sisters they were known as the ‘MacDonald sisters’ primarily because of their marriages to well-known men.   
    In 1866 she married the wealthy industrialist Alfred Baldwin in a double wedding with her sister Anne.   
    After giving birth to Stanley on the 3rd August 1867, who would go on to become Prime Minister, she drifted into an unhappy life in her then residence in Worcestershire.  She had at least one miscarriage and days alone depressed and in darkness. 
    During the 1870’s the couple travelled to find a lasting cure and tried a variety of treatments which led to her recovery in 1883.  She now became a leading figure in her local village of Wilden, near Stourbridge. 
    Her writing career of novels, short stories and poetry is often overlooked, as was the case with so many women, yet her works reveal many talents and a gift for melding odd and weird circumstances into seemingly everyday life.   
    Louisa Baldwin died in 1925.

    Five years ago, a group of teenage girls entered the Poison Apple Halloween Carnival for a scavenger hunt, and all but one died at the hand of a masked killer. Now, a copycat killer has emerged and is using a familiar cotton-candy-coated playbook to pick off a new group of girls one by one. 
    Meanwhile, the Scavenge’s lone survivor—still haunted by ghosts from the past and unable to move on from her loss—begins receiving disturbing text messages, seemingly from beyond the grave. When someone from home contacts her for help, she realizes that she must return to the carnival to warn the new girls and stop the original killer’s protégé, or they may suffer the same fate as the victims in the last Senior Scavenge. 
    There’s just one problem: According to the people of Belldam, the Senior Scavenge never happened.
