But there is something more there, a sadness that awakens in him the desire to save her. As James unearths more about this mysterious woman, he is dragged into a world he could never have expected. A world that has remained hidden while in plain sight. The closer he gets to learning all of its secrets, the more danger he is in. He must act fast to save his life and the life of the woman he loves.

From the bestselling author, an all new historical mystery! Inheriting a secret was just the beginning... In London in 1872, teen Amelia Borchardt inherits a seat among a secret society. They call themselves "The Collectors". For centuries, they have kept secrets to protect their way of life, their ideals, and England itself. Now someone is watching them, an interloper rises from among the group and Amelia's life is thrown into chaos when everything she thought she knew is challenged and secrets are exposed, which she never knew she held. As Amelia spends time with her inherited collection of friends, she learns all is not as it seems and that even united guardians of secrets withhold the past from each other. Where did Madam Hidgens disappear to for years? Centuries ago revenge was sealed into a letter, but by whom? And more importantly, how does this affect the Collectors? Amelia must fight for the truth or the Collectors, and all that she thinks is true, will evaporate.

Things are going missing. Not just the normal things that always disappear but big things like a giant panda. Tommy and Maria are called to Eryan once more to prevent the world from finding the secrets of Eryan. Not everything is as it should be, and an old evil has corrupted the minds of the weak. The land is threatened by destruction at the hands of a new evil. Can Tommy and Maria prevent the destruction and rescue those stranded in our realm or is it too late?
