  Murder is bad for business, especially when the hot local crime writer is garroted between the shelves! 
   
   
   
  With grudging permission from Heathcliff, Mina Wilde has transformed Nevermore Bookshop. She's running author events, hosting Quoth's art show, and using her creative flair to attract more customers. But when crime writer Danny Sledge is murdered moments before his writing workshop, the bookshop goes from bustling to broke. No one in the village will set foot inside Nevermore. 
   
   
   
  What if the murderer is targeting the bookshop? What if it's connected to Mina's father and the mysterious room? All Mina knows is that if she doesn't solve the crime soon, she can kiss her livelihood goodbye. 
   
   
   
  Add in a plague of locusts, an emotional school visit, and a magical visitor from the past, and poor Mina has her work cut out for her. 
   
   
   
  Luckily, she has Heathcliff, Morrie, and Quoth to help . . . that is—if they can keep their hands off her, or each other . . .

  I’ve been lied to, used, and played. The Order took something from me. My property. Vivienne. And now, she belongs to another man…Macoy Daniels. 
  The moment he signed that contract, he signed his own death warrant. With the sons, we track her down. Only when we get there, we find something unexpected. Her…savage and full of fury. We don’t call her wildcat for no reason.  
  I don’t know if I’m saving her from her abductor, or the other way around. All I know is I that want answers…and revenge. 
  I become the man I fought hard to leave behind. The cold, heartless mercenary. I’ll use, betray, and lie. Anything to keep her safe.  
  For her, we hunt. For her, we kill. And when we’re forced by Haelstom Hale for a trade, a contract for a life, I do the only thing that savage need to protect her allows.... 
  I send Macoy Daniels back to Haelstom Hale in pieces.

  The Shadow-Line

  Written in 1915, The Shadow-Line is based upon events and experiences from twenty-seven years earlier to which Conrad returned obsessively in his fiction. A young sea captain's first command brings with it a succession of crises: his sea is becalmed, the crew laid low by fever, and his deranged first mate is convinced that the ship is haunted by the malignant spirit of a previous captain.This is indeed a work full of "sudden passions," in which Conrad is able to show how the full intensity of existence can be experienced by the man who, in the words of the older Captain Giles, is prepared to "stand up to his bad luck, to his mistakes, to his conscience." A subtle and penetrating analysis of the nature of manhood, The Shadow-Line investigates varieties of masculinity and desire in a subtext that counters the tale's seemingly conventional surface.

  A stranger has come to Hollis Apothecary, asking questions that prickle the hairs on her nape, but she can't abandon the victims based only on a bad feeling. The pit in her stomach only grows when the stranger takes a hostage and makes his demands. He wants to talk to Rue, face to face. Or else. What he has to say will change her life, and her perception of her past, forever.

  Magic is outlawed. 
  A corrupt king rules the land. 
  A mysterious plague fells the people. 
  Rumours spread the origins of the plague are stemming from the industrial revolution taking place in The Continent’s capital of Owenoak. Time is ticking for the crown prince to mount a rebellion, form allies, reunite the ancient magical families, before his elder brother’s greed and ignorance swallows the world in a wave of sickness and death. 
  Written by Cowling, with editing and audio from Lark.
