    From the bestselling masters of the Old West comes the first in a blazing new series about a young deputy sheriff's coming of age—and trial by gunfire—in a small Texas town. This is the blistering saga of a hero in training, from first blood to final showdown . . .  
     
     
     
    Flint Moran was fourteen years old when the Civil War ended. He was fifteen when his family bought a plot of land near Tinhorn, Texas. He was barely nineteen when he caught a pair of rustlers stealing cattle—and singlehandedly brought them to justice. How did a teenaged boy track down and capture two hardcase thieves without any help? That's what Tinhorn sheriff Buck Jackson wants to know. He can't help but be impressed by Flint's sharp eye and natural talent with a Henry rifle. So he offers to deputize the boy—tin badge, Colt Frontier Six-Shooter, and all—and Flint happily accepts. But there are things the young deputy doesn't know. And what he doesn't know could kill him . . .  
     
     
     
    There's a gunman coming to town. A showdown is brewing that could prove to be Flint's first—and possibly last—test. But either way, there will be blood . . .

    "A murder will occur tonight at Beecham House . . ." Who could resist such a compelling invitation? Of course, the murder in question purports to be a party game, and Phyllida looks forward to using some of the deductive skills she has acquired thanks to her employer, Mrs. Agatha, who is unable to attend in person. 
     
     
     
    The hosts, Mr. and Mrs. Wokesley, are new to the area, and Phyllida gladly offers their own overwhelmed housekeeper some guidance while events get underway. Family friends have been enlisted to play the suspects, and Mr. Wokesley excels in his role of dead body. Unfortunately, when the game's solution is about to be unveiled, the participants discover that life has imitated art. Mr. Wokesley really is dead! 
     
     
     
    In the absence of Inspector Cork, Phyllida takes temporary charge of the investigation, guiding the local constable through interviews with the Murder Game actors. At first, there seems no motive to want Mr. Wokesley dead . . . but then Phyllida begins to connect each of the suspects with the roles they played and the motives assigned to them. It soon becomes clear that everyone had a reason to murder their host—both in the game and in real life. Before long, Phyllida is embroiled in a fiendishly puzzling case, with a killer who refuses to play by the rules . . .

    The Children of Avalon: A Journey Through the Wyrd invites readers into a mythic world where the land hums with ancient stories and the threads of the Wyrd weave past, present, and future into one. 
    Sent by the Daughters of Avalon, Aurelia, Brynn, and Eira leave their marshland home to uncover the secrets of the Thorn Bushes—mystical guardians that hold the truths of the land and the soul. From the shifting currents of the Whisperflow to the shadowed groves of Brinmere and the haunting cliffs of the Mouth of Ffall, their path is anything but straight. The trio must confront visions of their fears and longings, face a Roman empire hungry for dominance, and uncover a past that refuses to be buried. 
    As the rune-stone guides their way, the companions encounter mystical allies like the enigmatic Merryn and his loyal corgi Kess, and face tests from the land itself. Each step brings them closer to understanding the Wyrd—not just as a force around them, but as a spiral of memory within their very souls. 
    A tale of self-discovery, resilience, and ancient magic, The Children of Avalon explores how understanding oneself is key to unearthing the truths of the world. For readers who long for rich folklore, lyrical storytelling, and the timeless clash between the old ways and the empires that try to claim them, this is a journey you won't forget.
