Have you ever wanted to experience magic? Have you ever wanted to get away from everyone and everything? Do you enjoy baked goods? Then come stay at the Between-Worlds B&B! Margo is bored. It’s the summer before she graduates, she has no idea where her life is going and she’s really not enjoying her job as a lifeguard (she loves swimming, but all she gets to do is watch people swim). When Margo gets locked out one evening, she checks into a lovely B&B she’s never noticed. Rooms are available for £24.50 (the exact amount in her bank account!) and she’s greeted by surprisingly handsome receptionist, Finn. The rooms are cosy, there’s even a grand library and a huge swimming pool, and the breakfast smells amazing. But Margo soon suspects that it’s all too perfect, and that magic is in the air. She’s fairly sure that one of the other guests is a fairy princess, for one thing. Finn soon tells Margo that this is a B&B for magical beings. But Margo is pretty sure she doesn’t have a magical bone in her body, so what is she doing there?

One thing’s for sure: it’s the perfect destination for the K-University Mystery Club’s annual trip. But when the first club member turns up dead, the remaining amateur sleuths realise they will need all of their murder-mystery expertise to get off the island alive. As the party are picked off one by one, the survivors grow desperate and paranoid, turning on each other. Will anyone be able to untangle the murderer’s fiendish plan before it’s too late?

When Britain intercepted a French ship and its precious cargo–an unhatched dragon’s egg–Capt. Will Laurence of HMS Reliant unexpectedly became master and commander of the noble dragon he named Temeraire. As new recruits in Britain’s Aerial Corps, man and dragon soon proved their mettle in daring combat against Bonaparte’s invading forces. Now China has discovered that its rare gift, intended for Napoleon, has fallen into British hands–and an angry Chinese delegation vows to reclaim the remarkable beast. But Laurence refuses to cooperate. Facing the gallows for his defiance, Laurence has no choice but to accompany Temeraire back to the Far East–a long voyage fraught with peril, intrigue, and the untold terrors of the deep. Yet once the pair reaches the court of the Chinese emperor, even more shocking discoveries and darker dangers await.
