St Kilda
Some islands remember. This one hungers. Blackwood travels to the remote Scottish island of St Kilda, where fog never lifts, mirrors show futures instead of reflections, and villagers carve spirals into their own flesh. Eleanor is forgetting her voice, her memories, and his face. Because the island doesn't just take. It replaces. And it has been preparing a bride.

Murder Castle
Dr Edward Harrow and his wife Audrey check into the Columbian Hotel during Chicago's World's Fair of 1893. He brings his journals, his methodology, his absolute faith that to document precisely is to protect. He is wrong. What Holmes has built at Sixty-third Street is not a hotel. It is a laboratory. And the physician who published the definitive paper on prolonged anaesthetic exposure has just become its most carefully selected subject.
