Sinossi

THE CHRISTY AND CAROL AWARD-WINNING NOVEL 
 
A throwaway assignment is about to change two lives forever 
 
Aidyn Kelley is talented, ambitious, and ready for a more serious assignment than the fluff pieces she's been getting as a cub reporter for the Kansas City Star. In her eagerness, she pushes too hard, earning herself the menial task of writing an obituary for an unremarkable woman who's just entered hospice care. 
 
But there's more to Clara Kip than meets the eye. The spirited septuagenarian may be dying, but she's not quite ready to cash it in yet. Never one to shy away from an assignment herself, she can see that God brought the young reporter into her life for a reason. And if it's a story Aidyn Kelley wants, that's just what Mrs. Kip will give her--but she's going to have to work for it. 
 
"Clara's vivaciousness in the face of death makes her a captivating protagonist, and readers will appreciate her poignant reflections on faith and renewal."--Publishers Weekly 
 
"With a truly compassionate protagonist, Brunsvold reverently creates a space for readers to reflect on living with vivacity and dying with dignity."--Booklist

    Sybal and Tzarik set out on a quest to find a way to break the fate-binding tying Sharar and Tzarik’s fate together. Their journey takes them across the map as they try to bargain with the gods themselves, but nothing seems to give them the answer they seek. 
Weakened by the malignant wound, Sharar cannot steep himself in the magic of the Mahit’Onomicon, afraid the power might overcome him. But he has a more immediate battle to fight. He seeks to strike out against Tarkan, manipulating the sultana into doing his bidding. 
Tarkan sits upon the ruby throne in Alika with an army of undead and risen alike. But now it is time for the final step. Sure of himself and his power, Tarkan travels to Xia to break open the Crypt and finish his long overdue plan once and for all. 
In this thrilling conclusion, Sybal must rise to face her greatest challenge yet. For in a world balanced on the edge of oblivion, even immortality may not be enough to protect those she holds dear. The fate of the living rests in the hands of the dead, and the price of victory may be more than any of them can bear to pay.

    From USA TODAY bestselling author Sara Ney comes a series about strong, single girls falling in love: accidentally. 
 
 
 
All I need is a place to hide for a few weeks. 
 
 
 
The paparazzi were on my case 24/7 and I needed a bit of breathing room—an escape from the madness—before the media frenzy begins. 
 
 
 
Sure, I could have gone to a secluded cabin in the woods—but I didn't want to be bored out of my mind. I'd seen enough wide open spaces as a kid from Texas to last me a lifetime. 
 
 
 
So instead, I let my sports agent hook me up with a modest house in the burbs where we didn't think anyone would find me hiding in plain sight. 
 
 
 
I'd have a roommate; but supposedly, she was going to give me space. Stay out of my way and respect my boundaries. According to my agent, I wouldn't hear a peep from her. 
 
 
 
Wrong. He was wrong about everything and now my life was never going to be the same.

    She’s run as far as she can.But danger is closer than ever… 
–––––––––––––––––––––––––– 
Callie is on a winter writing retreat in the wilds of Scotland – a chance to let her creativity flow and heal from the horrifying event that ripped her life apart six months ago. But just as the restorative effects of the retreat start to make an impact, Callie discovers the course tutor dead from an apparent overdose. 
She wants to believe his death is an unfortunate event – just like the sobbing she hears at night, the deer carcass left outside the cottage, and the minibus brakes failing when their host goes for help. But when the accidents, and the bodies, start piling up, it becomes difficult to dismiss them as coincidences. Because she’s had a brush with death before, and her ex-boyfriend’s lies in the past could now cost Callie her life… 
This suspenseful and perfectly plotted locked-room thriller is ideal for fans of Erin Kelly and Elin Hilderbrand. Available to pre-order now!
