Once Upon a River:
On a dark midwinter's night in an ancient inn on the Thames, the regulars are entertaining themselves by telling stories when the door bursts open and in steps an injured stranger. In his arms is the drowned corpse of a child.Hours later, the dead girl stirs, takes a breath and returns to life.
The Familiars:
Fleetwood Shuttleworth is 17 years old, married, and pregnant for the fourth time. But as the mistress at Gawthorpe Hall, she still has no living child, and her husband Richard is anxious for an heir. When Fleetwood finds a letter she isn't supposed to read from the doctor who delivered her third stillbirth, she is dealt the crushing blow that she will not survive another pregnancy.
The Glass Woman:
When Rósa is betrothed to Jón Eiríksson, she is sent to a remote village.There she finds a man who refuses to speak of his recently deceased first wife, and villagers who view her with suspicion.Isolated and disturbed by her husband's strange behaviour, her fears deepen.
The Binding:
Emmett Farmer is a binder's apprentice. His job is to hand-craft beautiful books and, within each, to capture something unique and extraordinary: a memory.If you have something you want to forget, or a secret to hide, he can bind it - and you will never have to remember the pain it caused.In a vault under his mentor's workshop, row upon row of books - and secrets - are meticulously stored and recorded.
