The Haunting of Maplebrook Manor
Their mission: to uncover the truth. But can they all survive it?
Slayer Solutions is Simon Abadie's new undercover paranormal investigation venture. Zeke, Tillie, Mabel, Miguel, Hughey, and Buttons are the guinea pigs. And headquarters isn’t only their office; it’s their home.
Their first assignment sends them cross-country to the haunted Maplebrook Manor in Bensonville, Vermont. But the breathtaking mountain vista and extravagant Art Deco manor comes with risks. Residual hauntings and flitting silhouettes have escalated into poltergeist activity, and differences far deeper than job titles–along with unexpected attractions–complicate the gang’s efforts to solve the mystery.
When manor employees report entities that have never been seen before, the team discovers the tangle of secrets that surrounds the citizens of the quaint town.
Can the Slayer Solutions gang and their canine companion learn to trust each other and work together when ghosts become the least of their worries?
Lady of the Grave
Octavia, unaware of her mentor Malik's manipulations, carries the burden of using her Goddess-born blood to protect their coven. When an unauthorized book offers a glimpse of freedom, she can't ignore its call. Along the way, she encounters Throwen, a mesmerizing bard who promises adventure and a chance to meet the only other Goddess-born in Theldea. Throwen's charm captivates her, leaving her entranced and puzzled by his every move as they travel through the covens. With the past and future converging, Octavia must decide how to save herself, her new friends, and her coven.
Throwen wields his unique magic to work alongside his siblings under their mentor Whynnie, a Goddess-born, to make Theldea a safer place for all witches. Performing in taverns and hunting Malik's necromancers has grown tedious until he learns of another Goddess-born. Befriending Octavia brings thrilling challenges, and he flounders as his heart begins to play a new tune. Can the magic blossoming between them be the key to protecting their covens? Or will it threaten to be their destruction?
