  A haunting tale of love and loss that will make you think twice …What would you do if you had the chance to change a pivotal moment from your past? How far would you go to save someone you loved? These are just two of the fateful choices a woman is forced to grapple with in this highly original and hauntingly evocative detective story of love and loss. At the core of the enigmatic Stella's story, past and present, is a mystery she is compelled to solve, a beautiful young woman who went missing fifty years ago – and a tragedy much closer to home she must try to prevent. As Stella unravels the dark secrets of her family's past and her own, it becomes clear that everyone remembers the past differently and the small choices we make every day can change our future irrevocably.“Wonderfully unsettling and compulsive…the twists had me frantically turning the pages.” EMMA VISKIC

On the road to Betony Docks, they fall in with a pair of young women far from home, and an older couple who are more than they seem.

  Accompanied by Almost Brilliant, a talking bird with an indelible memory, Chih confronts old legends and new dangers alike as they learn that every story—beautiful, ugly, kind, or cruel—bears more than one face.

  There are dragons in Lagos and witches who wear their sons’ skins, while a cabal of otherworldly beings are collecting intelligent life forms in the depths of the universe.This collection features some of Falowo’s most notable previously published stories alongside new tales of magic and terror. “Inspired by real events and/or emotional states and fuelled by a love of indigenous cosmologies and pop culture symbolism, they were written in various caged spaces, where the pulse and ambient sounds of the world outside, became after a while, like arrhythmic waves crashing on the shores of my listening.”

  He would stop at nothing to have her, but would her heart survive loving a SIN? 
  Being the archangel of selflessness got me kicked out of my home. I’d spent my entire existence guiding those to give of themselves and help their fellow angels. Even when Lucifer marched on Heaven’s gate, I once more attempted to get those I called family to see a better way. Sadly, Father didn’t see that, and I was cast out of Heaven to be forever trapped on Earth, or worse, in Hell. 
  If Father wanted to cast me out and turn me into this symbol, the Sin of Greed, I would not only accept the challenge as Riker—I’d own it. 
  And then I met her, and the world once more shifted beneath my feet. 
  Minetta wanted nothing more than to have a normal life and do something that made her feel proud. Working as a 911 operator gave her that feeling, but something was always missing from her life. Until one day, she unwittingly became the pawn in a chess match she never knew existed. 
  A deadly war was brewing that had been waged for centuries and could mean the end for humanity. Pulled into the middle of this tug-of-war, she met him, Riker. The man was imposing, but the Sin under the sexy exterior was terrifying, and yet her heart still pounded hard when he was near. 
  Could Minetta have love and save the human race, or would she have to choose?

  A group of stories-within-a-story, told in the classic Louisa May Alcott style. 
   
  "I've a little cold," said the old lady, "and am too hoarse for talking, my dears; but Aunt Elinor has looked up a parcel of old tales that I've told her at different times and which she has written down. You will like to hear her reading better than my dull way of telling them, and I can help Minnie and Lotty with their work, for I see they are bent on learning to spin." 
   
  The young folk were well pleased with grandma's proposal; for Aunt Nell was a favorite with all, being lively and kind and fond of children, and the only maiden aunt in the family. Now, she smilingly produced a faded old portfolio, and, turning over a little pile of manuscripts, said in her pleasant way: 
   
  "Here are all sorts, picked up in my travels at home and abroad; and in order to suit all of you, I have put the names on slips of paper into this basket, and each can draw one in turn. Does that please my distinguished audience?"
