Sinossi

"Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them." – Ephesians 5:8.

Deep with the forgotten and misty moorlands of Yorkshire, the secluded village of Middleton Kirby unknowingly plays host to a dark secret. Dark, malignant and patient, it waits as if dormant for the next generation of an ancient family to make their Payment. When the Esquire of Middleton Kirby returns home to his manor and life of isolation after a period of time away, he finds he is not as abandoned as he always thought.

As much as he may try to resist, he realises he cannot avoid making his Payment forever.

Whistle for the Crows

Dorothy Eden

While staying at an eerie Irish castle, a woman is caught up in a family’s dark secrets, in this suspenseful tale by a New York Times–bestselling author.  For Cathleen Lamb, traveling to Dublin to record the history of the mystery-shrouded O’Riordan family is the answer to a prayer. Still grieving over the accident that killed her husband and baby daughter, she hopes to lose herself in other people’s lives. But something sinister is going on at the ancient castle at the edge of the moors . . . something beyond the scandalous skeletons rattling around the O’Riordans’ closets. The former heir was killed three years earlier in a suspicious fall. The same night, the family matriarch suffered a stroke that left her mute. Despite the malice that surrounds her, Cathleen is drawn to the brooding, darkly passionate man who is plotting to control the family. But even he may not be able to protect her when the crimes of the past reach into the present to terrorize the living.

Mantle of the World Ruler

Kate Gateley

An ancient curse broken, a new prophecy foretold, and a grimoire of dark Druidic magic. 
After a year of unimaginable violence, magic, and an all-consuming love that has followed her through countless incarnations, Julia Harrison has not only come into her own as a magic Bearer—far surpassing those women in her bloodline who came before her—but is about to start down a path that can end in only one of two ways: with her fulfilling her prophesized role as Sovereign, chalice of the World Ruler; or with the death of everyone and everything she holds dear at the hands of Cassius Longinus, The Child of Rome, in his brutal and inexorable quest to finally achieve true immortality. 
Mantle of the World Ruler—Book Two of the Lost Wells Trilogy—begins directly after the events of its predecessor, and with it, author Kate Gateley draws the reader right back into the romantic, magical, and often terrifying world of Bearers and Wielders, Knaves and Wraiths, and Domhnall O’Brien, cursed by choice to follow his love through one life after another until they can save each other at last. 
With the Sovereign standing tall, the World Ruler too must bear his crown… 
…Darkness reigns where light cannot, and from its root, the land will rot.

Ambrosia

Madison Wheatley

Be Strong. Be Fierce. Be Immortal. 
That’s what the handsome, athletic stranger promised when he invited Crystal Lunsford to his high-end gym, Mount Olympus, known for its signature sports drink, Ambrosia—a drink that offers an intoxicating surge of energy and an obsession with working out. It’s exactly the kind of escape Crystal craves to outrun her dark spiral of self-destruction and the memory of her ex Jace’s cruel, echoing taunts. Jace is dead, but his hateful words—"Fat pig. Fat pig.”—still claw at her mind. 
But beneath the gym’s glossy exterior lies a darkness she can’t ignore. Mount Olympus seems too perfect to be real—and maybe it is. Members are behaving oddly. Vanishing. Her memories are fading and her addiction is spiraling out of control. With her life—and her humanity—at stake, can Crystal triumph over her inner demons in order to escape the grip of Mount Olympus—or will she lose more than just weight? 
This new edition of Ambrosia includes "Through a Glass, Darkly," a bonus story that bridges the gap to its upcoming sequel. Discover the chilling origins of the next antagonist and the obsession that will shape the darkness to come.
