One book holds the spell that can make gods into men. One book holds the key to death. One man's life hangs in the balance. One world could die with him. When The Book of Mandragore is ripped apart by feuding gods, it is up to three young adventurers to find the scattered pieces before anyone else does. If they find the pieces first, they can save a man's life. If their enemy finds them first, the world will end in fire. And the gods, good and evil, will just watch as the story unfolds...

A little girl has to save Wanderal Woods - and her own world - from an evil waldgeist.

Carly Clare needs to get away from it all for a while. There have been...problems at work. So she and her mother, Rachael, and her grandmother, Nan, take a little trip to a vineyard and hotel. And it's all fun and games until the bodies start piling up. A holiday shouldn't be such hard work; this one is murder.

Who's that trip trapping over my bridge? It's the echo of a childhood bedtime story read on a mother's knee, but this story is definitely not for children. Eliza is excited when she gets her first assignment as a newspaper journalist, even if it does mean she has to travel to the back of beyond to get the story. But with a slew of missing persons and some weird weather warnings, there is definitely something going on in the little village of Bailby. The villagers stick together, and local policeman, Fraser, is Eliza's only ally. As they grow closer, something else is ripping the village apart - and it's coming to gobble them up...
