Among the ashes of a dying world, an agent of the Commandant finds a letter. It reads: Burn before reading. Thus begins an unlikely correspondence between two rival agents hellbent on securing the best possible future for their warring factions. Now, what began as a taunt, a battlefield boast, grows into something more. Something epic. Something romantic. Something that could change the past and the future. Except the discovery of their bond would mean death for each of them. There's still a war going on, after all. And someone has to win that war.

Tras los incidentes de Thanned, las principales hechiceras supervivientes se reunen con la idea de refundar un Consejo único que incluya a todas las practicantes de mágia, incluídas las elfas y las nilfgaardianas y con ánimo de influir en el futuro que surja una vez acabada la guerra, con el consiguiente espacio vacante para cuando llegue el momento de la incorporación de Ciri. Mientras tanto, la "Leoncilla de Cintra" vive una vida de pillaje y bandidaje como una más del grupo delincuente de "Los Ratas", con el pseudónimo de "Falka". Ajeno a ello, creyendo que se encuentra en Nilfgaard Geralt comienza su camino hacia el sur en búsqueda de Ciri, con la compañía de Jaskier y la guía de Milva. Durante el trayecto, coincidirá con el grupo de enanos de Zoltan Chivay y encontrará a dos misteriosos personajes con el deseo (y las enormes reservas de Geralt) de unirse a su expedición: el nilfgaardiano Cahir, hecho prisionero y sentenciado por no entregar a Ciri y rescatado casualmente antes de su entrega a los ejecutores nilfgaardianos, y el barbero herborista Emil Regis, extraño habitante de una cabaña perdida en el bosque. En este libro se explica la historia de la primera unión entre humanos y elfos: la historia de amor entre el hechicero Creguennan y la maga élfica Lara Dorren, poseedora de la Antigua Sangre, y de cuya alcurnia repleta de desgracias solamente queda una descendiente viva: Cirilla de Cintra, nieta de Calanthe e hija de Pavetta, todas ellas parte de ese oculto y poderoso linaje (de ahí el poder de Pavetta). Esto la convierte en el objetivo de todo tipo de tramas relacionadas con la particular y profética descendencia que pueda tener. En su búsqueda, Geralt y su grupo se irán aproximando cada vez más a los diferentes frentes de guerra, en uno de los cuáles se verá forzado a romper con su neutralidad y demostrar un involuntario heroismo al servicio de la reina Meve de Lyria y Rivia.

A dual-timeline murder mystery set in an English country manor, when an ambitious professor discovers the long-lost manuscript of a Reformation-era prophetess Historian Alison Sage has made a groundbreaking archival discovery―she found a manuscript containing the prophecies of a 16th century nun, Elizabeth Barton. Barton’s prophecy condemning Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn led to her execution and the destruction of all copies of her prophecies―or so the world believed. With Alison’s discovery, she is catapulted to academic superstardom and scores an invitation to the exclusive Codex Consortium, a week of research among a select handful of fellow historians at a crumbling manor in England, located next to the ruins of the priory where Elizabeth herself once lived. What begins as a promising conference turns into a nightmare as the eerie house becomes the site of a murder. Suddenly, everyone is a suspect, and it seems that answers lie at the root of a local legend about centuries-old hidden treasure. Alison’s research makes her best-suited to solve the mystery―but when old feelings resurface for a former colleague, and the stakes of the search skyrocket, everyone's motives become murky. Alison’s cutthroat world of academia is almost as dangerous as Elizabeth Barton’s sixteenth-century England, where heretics are beheaded, visions can kill, and knowing who to trust is a deadly art. The Lost Book of Elizabeth Barton is a thrilling novel, crackling with the voices of the past and propelled by a mystery that will leave readers in suspense until the very last page.

When the two of them have a chance encounter outside the Edinburgh Anatomist’s Society, Hazel thinks nothing of it at first. But after she gets kicked out of renowned surgeon Dr. Beecham’s lectures for being the wrong gender, she realizes that her new acquaintance might be more helpful than she first thought.

Without official lessons, though, Hazel will need more than just her books – she’ll need bodies to study, corpses to dissect. Lucky that she’s made the acquaintance of someone who digs them up for a living, then.

Hazel and Jack work together to uncover the secrets buried not just in unmarked graves, but in the very heart of Edinburgh society. A gothic tale full of mystery and romance about a willful female surgeon, a resurrection man who sells bodies for a living, and the buried secrets they must uncover together.
