When Abigail takes a rare day off in the middle of a busy week, she’s expecting a fun day at the beach with her sister, Mandy, and some other friends. When a seemingly empty kayak floats into view, she’s quick to suggest that they catch the vessel. Abigail is pretty sure that the kayak’s owners are currently guests at Sunset Lodge. Considering everything that has happened since she moved to Nightshade, she probably shouldn’t have been surprised that there was a body in the kayak.

Danny Webb was a guest at the lodge. He’d arrived with his wife and a small group of friends for a week of sunshine, sightseeing, and kayaking on Foxglove Lake. He’d seemed a fun, friendly person and for a short while it looked as if no one had a motive for his murder.

It isn't long though, before secrets began to unravel, revealing the man’s double life and also his hidden past. It suddenly seems as if nearly everyone he knew had a motive for his murder. And Abigail and Mandy are right in the middle of it all, eager to find the killer before he or she can strike again.

From Wall Street Journal bestselling author Jeff Wheeler comes the heart-racing conclusion to the Invisible College series. The fate of the world hangs in the balance as two star-crossed lovers fight to beat impossible odds and secure a future together, and for humanity, or risk an all-consuming winter.

A bargain was struck beyond memory, sealed by an immortal covenant that promised either peace or extinction for humanity. The Aesir will uphold this covenant, whatever the outcome, but the Erlking will do everything in his power to ensure their victory. Two people hold the key to defeating him, but only one of them remembers who they are.

Everyone believed that Robinson Hawksley perished when the Aesir attacked the university at Nirshoye. But with memories unlocked, he now remembers the past and must await the final Awakening of the Aesir. When he revives from a magical sleep, he discovers that the Invisible College is in shambles, that those who practice magic are persecuted and put in debtor’s prison when they cannot pay the exorbitant fines leveled against sorcerers.

All Diana Penn wanted was a quiet retirement. What she got was a chance to rewrite history.

When a demolition crew uncovers unexploded WWII bombs in a quiet Northumberland park, retired MI6 agent Diana Penn instantly senses danger. But before she can act, the bombs detonate.

Instead of peace, Diana wakes up in December 1944, in the body of her younger self: a Land Army girl posted in a seemingly sleepy English town. Beneath the wartime camaraderie and village gossip, predators lurk and suspicious activities hint at dangers far greater than German spies.

Armed with knowledge of the future and the instincts of a seasoned operative, Diana must race to prevent catastrophe. Because this time, dying isn’t the end—it’s only the beginning.

A gripping wartime thriller with a time-bending twist, The Deadly Life of Diana Penn is a powerful new addition to the acclaimed Middle Falls universe.

It all begins with an idea.
