  In a terrorized kingdom where the ghosts of the past do not rest in peace, a sorceress comes calling.
  Some flee from wraiths. Others are drawn to them. Fola is both.
  Cast out from the City of the Wise, Fola embarks on a journey to explore her interests in the barriers between life, death, and undeath. It has been a lifelong passion for Fola and she has the magical skills to help those in this world as well as comfort the restless souls from beyond. When Fola hears word of a kingdom plagued by darkness, she knows what she must do.
  Pervading all of Parwys are rumors of a haunting that drove its king mad. Upon arrival, Fola's greater challenge may be among the living. Hostile nobles, political machinations, and a growing rebel faction have shaken the stability of the court. And as the threat of a templar invasion looms, Fola's quest to rid the vulnerable Parwys of a sinister scourge has just begun.
  As chaos threatens the kingdom, Fola must rely on her uncanny talent, outwit conspiracies, and trust unlikely new allies to survive what lies ahead.

  The Dog and the Sparrow is a children's fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm, and a classic. 
  A dog owner lets his shepherd dog starve from hunger, causing the dog to leave home. The dog meets a sparrow and accompanies him to the city. The bird captures meat and bread for the dog as a sign of gratitude. When they leave town night falls and they decide to go to sleep. During the night the dog is run over by a man in a horse carriage. The sparrow alerts the man on the carriage, but he ignores the sparrow and runs over the dog. She curses the man by announcing that he will turn into a poor man. Then she pecks the wine barrels the man was transporting open, so that the precious wine leaks out. The bird also pecks out the horses' eyes. When the man tries to kill the bird with an axe he accidentally slays his own horses down. As a result the man is forced to leave his now useless carriage behind and returns home.

  That’s the trouble with anarchists: big ideas, shoddy staff work. 
  Harry Delamere doesn’t know much about opera, but he’s fairly sure people aren’t supposed to get murdered for real at the climax. In this excerpt from his memoirs - published as the Gentleman Adventurer series - he finds himself kidnapped, blown up, suspected of murder, forced to listen to Winston Churchill, kidnapped again - oh, and again - enjoying a terrifying encounter with modern technology and making a most ungentlemanly display of his legs while tackling the threat of world revolution. 
  A thrilling clash between the genteel arts and the new-fangled flying machines! Two of the most notorious incidents in the history of British radicalism! Shocks, scandals, anarchist outrages, sinister secret policemen, foreign beauties, pioneer pilots, domestic beauties, and a most distressing episode during the interval at the Alhambra. 
  ‘Ye Gods’, said Winston Churchill; ‘Harry Delamere… It must be worse than we feared.’
