"It is an old maxim of mine that when you have excluded the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable,
must be the truth. The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is the series of short stories that made the fortunes of
The Strand Magazine, in which they were first published, and won immense popularity for Sherlock Holmes and
Dr Watson. The detective is at the height of his powers and the volume is full of famous cases, including 'The
Red-Headed League', 'The Blue Carbuncle', and 'The Speckled Band'. Although Holmes gained a reputation
for infallibility, Conan Doyle showed his own realism and feminism by having the great detective defeated by
Irene Adler - the Woman - in the very first story, 'A Scandal in Bohemia'.
Catherine Wynne's introduction reappraises the stories by looking at Conan Doyle's medical background and
its influence on the creation of the famous detective. This edition also features completely revised explanatory
notes to reflect the most recent scholarship on Conan Doyle and Victorian Literature."
"In the wake of the events of Black Tide Son, Hart flees into pirate-infested waters to shelter on the island where former rogue James Demery and the Fleetbreaker, Anne Firth, now rule.
Reeling from their discoveries about the truths of the Mereish-Aeadine war, Mary and Samuel hover on the precipice of a terrible, world-altering choice—they can stay silent and maintain their good names, or they can speak out and risk igniting total war across the Winter Sea.
Meanwhile, Benedict captains The Red Tempest, a lawless ship of deserters and corrupted mages in search of an Usti spy with incendiary stolen documents. Benedict is determined to make the truth known, consequences be damned.
As rumours spread of a new Ghistwold sprouting in the Mereish South Isles, Mary and Samuel sail once more into intrigue, espionage and an ocean on the brink of exploding into conflict. They must chart a course toward lasting, final peace, at the heart of the age-old battle for power upon the Winter Sea."
"Victorian charlatans imperil reality when they unwittingly summon a horror from the void
LONDON, 1891. Elizabeth Whittle and William Grant enjoy scalping London’s bourgeoisie, taking on the personas of grand spiritist Cerulia Trent and her agent to connect the living and the dead. When a detective arrives, sniffing out fraud with a scientifically minded spiritualist society, the duo decides to take one last job before escaping to the continent.
However, their final séance ends horrifically … and soon Lizzie isn’t Lizzie anymore. William, desperate to banish whatever monster they summoned, is soon embroiled in an electrifying eldritch mystery where he makes a deal with the devil to save his friend and stop an even greater evil from transforming the known world.
Hear the Call of Cthulhu in the menacing gaslit shadows of Victorian England"
"Samuel and Mary are thriving as privateers on the Winter Seas. As they navigate the complexities of their growing bond, in a world that would see Mary as chattel to be traded, the pair are forging a better way to live, under the sails of Hart.
But when their latest prize brings tales of Benedict’s capture by Mereish forces, they must make an impossible choice: to serve their nation or save Samuel’s brother.
Thrust into a mission of intrigue and infiltration, they seek to break into the most secure prison on the Mereish Coast. But as they sail deep into enemy territory, they find themselves hunted by a cunning and mysterious new foe—an enemy who seems to know their every secret, and who will kill to keep their own.
As the Black Tide rises, and fleets take to the water, Samuel, Mary, and Benedict are on a desperate race for survival—both their own, and the free nations of the Winter Seas.
“Daring escapes and high stakes on the high seas—half piratical fantasy, half familial intrigue, and all impossible to put down.”—Allison Epstein, author of Let the Dead Bury the Dead"

The task is simple: Kill the Witch Lord, defeat his loyalists, put the bastard son on the throne, reclaim their honor."

"Return to the world of the Sun Eater in this spin-off adventure set after the events of book five!
For thousands of years, the icy planet of Belusha has served the galactic Sollan Empire as its most notorious prison planet. It is here the very worst men in the Empire are locked away: murderers, traitors, deserters—each condemned to toil on the oil rigs and scrapyards of the planet in bitter
cold, preyed upon both by the men of the Martian Guard set to watch over them, and by the Outborn reavers whose fathers escaped the work camps to scratch a living from the icy wilderness.
It is a hard world. A desperate world.
And it is here that Lorian Aristedes finds himself: alone; friendless; betrayed even by his own failing, mutant flesh. It is here that Lorian Aristedes has been sentenced to work himself to death for the crime of abetting his master’s escape from imperial justice.
For any other man, it would be the end of his story … but for Lorian Aristedes—once the left hand of the Halfmortal, Hadrian Marlowe himself—it is only the beginning."

Fortune favors the bold-but is a confirmed spinster daring enough to loosen the reins and accept a favor from the wicked gentleman who haunts her dreams?
Lady Anne Deveril doesn't spook easily. A woman of lofty social standing known for her glacial beauty and starchy opinions, she's the unofficial leader of her small group of equestriennes.
