Joanna Blalocková je díky bystrému úsudku a širokému rozhledu velmi schopnou zdravotní sestrou, což je jen jedno z mála povolání, které v té době může žena vykonávat. Ale poté, co se spolu s desetiletým synem stane svědkem smrtelného pádu z okna zdánlivého sebevraha, navštíví ji starý dobrý doktor John Watson se svým šarmantním a pohledným synem, doktorem Johnem Watsonem mladším, a protože jsou oba uchváceni jejími forenzními schopnostmi, nabídnou jí účast v jejich vyšetřovacím týmu.
Joanna a oba Watsoni začnou rozmotávat klubko sherlockovské záhady, jehož vlákno vede od ukrytého pokladu až do druhé anglo-afghánské války v letech 1878–1880. Musí si přitom připravit důmyslný plán, jak dopadnout vraha přímo při činu. Není to ale lehké, protože jim hází klacky pod nohy nejen zločinci, ale i Scotland Yard a britští aristokraté. A i kriminalistika v té době byla úplně jiná, než jak ji známe dnes…

Na ostrove Fennbirn sa každú generáciu narodia tri výnimočné deti – trojčatá. Tri kráľovné, tri právoplatné dedičky temného trónu. Každej koluje v žilách iná mágia.
Mirabella je nebojácna elementalistka, ktorá lusknutím prstov vykreše nenásytné plamene či privolá hromy a blesky. Katharine je travička, ktorá namieša akýkoľvek jed. A naturalistka Arsinoe ovláda faunu a flóru – traduje sa, že pod jej rukami rozkvitne tá najčervenšia ruža a skrotne aj najzúrivejší lev. Ktorá zasadne na temný trón?
V deň svojich šestnástych narodenín sa musia sestry podujať na sériu nebezpečných skúšok na život a na smrť. Korunu získa tá, ktorá ostane nažive. V hre je totiž viac než len starodávny trón.

Beck hates his life. He hates his violent mother. He hates his home. Most of all, he hates the piano that his mother forces him to play hour after hour, day after day. He will never play as she did before illness ended her career and left her bitter and broken.
But Beck is too scared to stand up to his mother, and tell her his true passion, which is composing his own music - because the least suggestion of rebellion on his part ends in violence.
When Beck meets August, a girl full of life, energy and laughter, love begins to awaken within him and he glimpses a way to escape his painful existence. But dare he reach for it?

“Music is nothing unless it fills your soul with colour and passion and dreams.”

Ellingham Academy is a famous private school in Vermont for the brightest thinkers, inventors, and artists. It was founded by Albert Ellingham, an early twentieth century tycoon, who wanted to make a wonderful place full of riddles, twisting pathways, and gardens.
Shortly after the school opened, his wife and daughter were kidnapped. The only real clue was a mocking riddle listing methods of murder, signed with the frightening pseudonym, Truly Devious. It became one of the great unsolved crimes of American history.
True-crime aficionado Stevie Bell is set to begin her first year at Ellingham Academy, and she has an ambitious plan: She will solve this cold case. That is, she will solve the case when she gets a grip on her demanding new school life and her housemates: the inventor, the novelist, the actor, the artist, and the jokester. But something strange is happening. Truly Devious makes a surprise return, and death revisits Ellingham Academy. The past has crawled out of its grave. Someone has gotten away with murder.

Travel to a world of dark bargains struck by moonlight, of haunted towns and hungry woods, of talking beasts and gingerbread golems, where a young mermaid's voice can summon deadly storms and where a river might do a lovestruck boy's bidding but only for a terrible price.
This collection of six stories includes three brand-new tales, all of them lavishly illustrated with art that changes with each turn of the page, culminating in six stunning full-spread illustrations as rich in detail as the stories themselves.
