A murder. A secret. A promise. Gretchen Lauterbach's grandmother asks her to fulfill a strange request that involves her older sister Rachel--who's been exiled from the family for the past five years--as well as giving her a map. In this case, instead of an X marking the spot of buried treasure, Gretchen finds buried secrets. Until now Gretchen hasn't been able to get herself emotionally ready to read her sister's letter. When she does, she gets the shock of her life. On a path that only seems to get stranger by the minute, she finds herself reuniting with family she never realized she had. She also discovers a lover's remains have been hidden in the black hills of France's Morvan forest. In order to right an old wrong--and save her own life--Gretchen must distinguish ally from foe, truth from lie. Nothing is as it seems beneath the Morvan moon.

Circles of Deception

Who is making the crop circles? The enormous geometric designs have appeared in fields around the world for over thirty years. Novelist Risa McKensie plans to write about the fantastic works of art. When her intent becomes known, she receives an anonymous warning to drop the project. She can't imagine why. Because a fiction book might become a bestseller and draw attention to the circle phenomena? Who would care? Clearly, when the warnings multiply, more than one group. Risa meets a group of intellectual Artists who claim they make the formations using mental energy. Despite the escalation of the threats, she discounts the Artists' advice that The Meridians--a powerful consortium that thrives on war and chaos--are the ones she should most fear. Why would a novel about crop circles concern them?

The Uncrowned Queen

Situated in Beth-Hill, where imagination meets reality, is The Rose Emporium, owned by elderly and not-a-little-odd Rose Duncan.

Rose's twenty-something niece, Abby Duncan, discovers that the world isn't made up of just run-of-the-mill, ordinary humans but an entire spectrum of unusual beings. With her preconceptions about what's normal and what's not turned upside-down, Abby is in for a whole lot of startling truths, mysteries--about herself and the people and places around her--and danger. Abby Duncan's elderly Aunt Rose has always been a bit odd. And now she's off on a mysterious trip, leaving Abby behind to run the Rose Emporium, an unusual sort of antique shop. Such an extraordinary store would have been a perfect place for Seth and the others, her friends from the Renaissance Festival, to take a break from traveling between Faires. But when tragedy strikes and Abby and the others discover the true nature of the Rose Emporium, they'll have to travel into Faerie itself before their tightknit group is whole again. Abby doesn't know much about her family history, but she's about to find out the truth...whether she likes it or not.

But the rescue party is having trouble of their own, and they find much more than they bargained for in the Caves. The question now becomes, who will be forced to stay in the Caves of Challenge forever.
