There's only one thing standing in her way. Well, make that a whole family of obstacles ... and one ticked-off FBI agent. When cousins Bay, Clove and Thistle vow to stop their great-aunt's wine endeavor in its tracks, Aunt Tillie is forced to come up with a unique solution. In order to keep her great-nieces out of her hair, she curses them into a book of fairy tales. Of course, because it's Aunt Tillie, these aren't normal fairy tales. They're the fairy tales she created - with a little inspiration from the classics. Now Bay, Clove and Thistle have to work their way through a labyrinth of stories they haven't heard since they were kids - and they have to take Landon, Marcus and Sam along for the ride. Will Bay get eaten by bears? Will Thistle kiss a frog? Will Sam climb Clove's hair to rescue her from a tower? And, better yet, will Landon turn himself into a prince and slip a glass slipper on Bay's foot?

Unsolved Murders (Tales from the Ceyla Chronicles)


Book Description

Ever since Ceyla Ward, seer and supernatural detective, disappeared in a flash of green light five years ago, chaos has fallen on the magical world of Helios. Some blame her for the disasters that befell the land after she left. Others dismiss Ward’s effect on the events that followed as mere chance. Many were just relieved that she was gone—dead, they hope. And then there are those who simply want her home. Five years after the rising of Demons and the beginnings of the Helios Civil War, her betrothed Avery Holt, her brother Eran Nordskov, and her adopted father Michael Ward continue to try to reach her through letters, messages, and emails about how Helios was faring in her absence—even as they hold on to the hope that she comes home soon. Because there are just some unsolved murders that cannot be laid to rest too easily.
