Sinossi

Clara Morgan had it all, or so she thought. Her own home, a car, and her own business were all Clara had ever dreamed of. Then one day she finds a baby on her shop step and her entire world changes. Who is the child’s mother and why did she choose Clara? As Clara takes the baby in and works with the police she starts to uncover clues to the baby’s origins but with every new clue the threat of danger increases. Clara finally discovers who baby Selena’s mother is but the girl refuses to cooperate with her. Clara knows the girl is hiding something and Clara is determined to get it out of her. The first clue is a bracelet found on Selena when Clara takes her in. But how did a girl from one of the poorest parts of the city get such an expensive bracelet and what is the danger that makes the girl so afraid for her and Selena’s life? As Clara delves deeper into the girl’s story she uncovers the hard realities of the girl’s life and has to make some choices of her own, including what to do with baby Selena who she’s grown to cherish. Clara knew that caring for the foundling would prove joyous but hard, but she had no idea just how hard that decision would be.

    Tisha Page is a nurse at Harmony Nursing and Rehabilitation. She cares about her patients, trying to connect with their grief and loss—but it's hard when she's fighting her own battle against sleep deprivation and corporate indifference. The one patient she is able to truly connect with is Nathaniel. Tisha and Nathaniel couldn't be more different, except they both know what it's like to be born a size too big for this world. Too angry, too large, and too inconvenient to ever truly fit in with the rest of society. 
     
    As Nathaniel rages against the slow decay of his life, Tisha begins to see a monster stalking the dismal halls of the Harmony nursing home. Worse than death, the monster wants to take from the patients while they're still alive until they're nothing but husks of their former selves. Tisha must overcome her own slow decay at the hands of apathy and bureaucracy before the monster can take everything she has left.

    London, 1851. Restless and bored after a long hot summer, apothecary and poison expert Jem Flockhart decides to redesign her physic garden. But plans are thrown into confusion when a man's skeleton is unearthed from beneath the deadly nightshade, a smaller, child-like skeleton curled at its feet. The body bears evidence of knife wounds to its ribs and arms, and is accompanied by a collection of macabre objects: a brass bowl, a curious coin-like token, a set of tiny ivory sculls. 
    The police claim the victim is too long-buried for answers to be found, but for Jem, a corpse in her own garden is something that cannot be ignored. The plans to the garden, laid out some forty years earlier, reveal a list of five names. 
    When Jem and Will start asking questions, the murders begin. Each victim has a past connection with the physic garden; each corpse is found with its jaw broken wide and its mouth stuffed with deadly nightshade. As they move closer to uncovering the truth Jem Flockhart and Will Quartermain encounter a dark world of addiction, madness, power and death that strikes at the very heart of Jem's own history. This time, the poison is personal.

    A storm is coming.? What’s lost will be found. And the sins of the past uncovered.? 
    Jessie Else disappeared the summer the Lambs came to Magpie Beach. Not that the two events were connected at all, in reality; only in my own head, in my own world. They marked for me the end of a certain quiet time and the start of a more complicated living. 
     
    Magpie Beach is a quiet seaside town – full of small-town prejudices and small-town cliques. Meg, Rosemary and Lily are all outsiders. Meg and Lily because they came to Magpie Beach to escape their former lives, Rosemary because her upbringing was the subject of much local gossip and upturned noses. The three women come together as friends, partly because their homes are so close together on the outskirts of town – and partly because their neighbours treat them with such suspicion. 
     
    When Jessie Else, all of 9 years old, goes missing – it’s easy to see why this small band of outcasts are first on the list of suspects – but what they didn't realise is that Jessie’s disappearance is only the beginning of their troubles. Soon all those secrets they’ve been trying to hide are going to be uncovered – and nothing will ever be the same again.
