Dorothea Addams wasn’t sure of what was happening at the moment. From Pugsley being held with shackles and chains and used as leverage against her family, to Thing getting patched together with his original owner, Isaac Night.
She just knew that it was all her fault.
If only she hadn’t helped Pugsley unburied his body that night.
And if only she hadn’t drawn his attention from the very beginning.
None of this would’ve happened.
Is it a love story? No.
It is a tale of murder and deceit. -

Summary
"The sickening sensation of magic that should never had existed filled her and Kai tried to hold on. The world around her was unmade. With a crack and an impact of changing pressure, she fell backwards out of a rift in time into a snow drift. A second, far greater crack echoed around her. After a disorienting moment, she shook the snow out of her hair and recognized her surroundings; the Frostback mountains above the valley of Haven, 9:41 Dragon. Overhead, a pillar of sickly green light shot into the sky. "

They failed. The Veil fell and Old Gods stalked the world. Driven to the brink, Kai Lavellan tries one last desperate ploy; go back in time and stop Fen'Harel before he could destroy the world. The Inquisition would march, she would march with them.

Summary
Cordelia Edevane has always been an enigma to the other ghosts who haunted Button House, seeming to prefer the company of the living instead of the lingering spirits gathered over many centuries. So when Heather Button, the last inheritor of Button House, finally passes away due to old age, Cordelia is the only ghost who worries over the rundown house's fate while the rest bask in their new freedom.
Months later, the arrival of new homeowners Mike and Alison Cooper rid Cordelia of her previous worries. However, her housemates don't take too kindly to the married couple's plans to renovate Button House into a hotel, resulting in an unsuccessful haunting that ends with a near-death experience for Alison and her gaining the ability to perceive and converse with the dead. The ghosts, led by the Captain, plot to use Alison's new abilities to make the Coopers leave for good. But to their surprise, Cordelia is prepared to keep them from leaving, even if it means foiling the mischief of her fellow ghosts.
Meanwhile, an at-her-wits-end Alison may have found an unlikely ally keeping her sanity in check; Cordelia might be the only ghost of Button House she can just about tolerate.
