Be careful what you wish for. Winnie’s arrival from boarding school to sunny Sydney, thrust into the sinister world of the Crone, was as far from an uplifting homecoming than she could imagine. She’s the last Keeper of the Crone’s poisonous Stone and must hide the witch-demon’s stolen possession before it’s too late. Exposed and vulnerable, Winnie’s enemy is poised to break free, her followers swarming on the hunt. Legend forecasts the final chapter nears, heralding the Stone’s triumphant return and the obliteration of the feeble, ailing Trinity who’ve stood in their way for a thousand years. But allies exist in the most unexpected places. For the first time in millennia, the Sacred Trinity are recruiting. Satan’s mistress is coming to take back what’s hers and just maybe, Winnie will be ready. This is no fairy tale.

Whence is that knocking? How is twith me when every sound appals me? I hear a knocking In the south entry !H ark !more knocking! SHAKESPEARE. Hurricane Hall is a large old family mansion, built of dark, red sandstone, in one of the loneliest and wildest of the mountain regions of Virginia. The estate is surrounded on three sides by a range of steep, gray rocks, spiked with clumps of dark evergreens, and called, from its horseshoe form, the Devils Hoof. On the fourth side the ground gradually descends in broken rock and barren soil to the edge of the wild mountain stream known as the Devils Run. When storms and floods were high, the loud roaring of the wild mountain gorges, and the terrific raging of the torrent over its rocky course, gave to this savage locality its ill-omened names of Devil s Hoof, Devil s Run and Hurricane Hall. Major I ra Warfield, the lonely proprietor of the Hall, was a veteran officer, who, in disgust at what he supposed to be ill-requited services, had retired from public life to spend the evening of his vigorous age on this, his patrimonial estate. Here he lived in seclusion, with his oldfashioned housekeeper, Mrs. Condiment, and his old family servants and his favorite dogs and horses. Here his mornings were usually spent in the chase, in which he excelled, and his afternoons and evenings were occupied in small convivial suppers among his few chosen companions of the chase or the bottle.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.

So of course, it got much worse. As if being banned from The Dust wasn’t bad enough, Lucy’s best friend Anna is facing depression, and Lucy knows it’s her fault. But when she takes matters into her own hands, Lucy uncovers one of Disorder’s Fragments, bent on using Anna to free its master! Now the only way to save Anna is for Lucy to find The Hidden Host, the sole person with the power to keep Disorder imprisoned. Without the help of the Depression Force, Lucy’s left with a rag-tag team—including her mysterious Depression Agent Uncle Justin—to travel to the center of Anna’s Depression Zone and save her life.

The Hidden Hand (1888) is an exuberant action comedy, featuring fearless Capitola Black, a self-styled female Don Quixote, and the prototype of innumerable adventure heroines. Rescued from life on the streets in New York by a southern plantation owner, with his own reasons for befriending her, Capitola is too active and adventurous to settle for the life of a southern belle. Besides, the neighbourhood is infested with evil-doers--Black Donald, the notorious bandit, and Gabriel Le Noir, the owner of the plantation adjoining--combine to make her life full of excitement and peril. Serialized three times by popular demand before appearing in book form, The Hidden Hand exudes irresistible high spirits and cheer, and still retains the capacity to surprise and delight that enchanted its first readers.

Considered to be the best work of American author E.D.E.N. Southworth, The Hidden Hand is a portrayal of life in the Southern United States after the Civil War. Like many of her novels, this publication focuses on the classical version of sentimental fiction, complete with the damsel in distress and the evil villain. With a capable and confident heroine by the name of Capitola, and many exciting plot developments that readers can truly enjoy, the novel also includes many of Southworth's – at the time – original feminist ideals, that have managed to cause quite a stir in 19th century society.A curious and quite magnificent combination of mystery, suspense, romance and comedy, The Hidden Hand is far more than just a feminist book. It is well-written, engaging, and presents a keen, exciting narrative that makes it difficult to put down, once you've started reading. Through Capitola's story, E.D.E.N. Southworth becomes one of the most dignified spokespersons for women's rights, well before the idea of feminism was even hinted at in the mainstream media.One of the stranger things about this book is that it ends quite abruptly, making the suspense it builds throughout the plot even more intense and exciting. The sequel, Capitola's Peril, is a must-have for anyone who enjoyed The Hidden Hand, as it ties up all the loose ends, while providing readers with a satisfying and extremely well-presented continuation of the storyline in the first book.The Hidden Hand and its sequel are a must-read for anyone interested in being inspired by a brave and accomplished female author who manages to impress her peers even during a time when stories such as this one were accepted with great difficulty. Southworth impresses through her outstandingly engaging narrative, as well as through her mastery of feminist concepts, able to avoid many of the traps and pitfalls that her predecessors, and many later followers of feminist ideology constantly fell into.
