    Summary

    Sancha “Rook” Ingellvar is a detective in North Yorkshire Police’s Major Crimes Unit, investigating an unusual string of grisly murders on the streets of York, hitting nothing but dead ends.

    Emmrich Volkarin is a professor on a downward spiral following the death of his young son and the breakdown of his marriage, plagued by voices of the deceased and knowing nothing but dead ends.

    She doesn’t want his help. He doesn’t want to be saved. Fate, on the other hand, has other ideas.

    Summary

    In Emmrich’s experience, people (and spirits) came in many varieties. But fundamentally, there were only two that mattered: those who could be trusted to borrow a book and return it in pristine condition…

    …and those like Rook.

    (A series of vignettes about finding love in the margins with the help of books, a pig, some flowers, a harpsichord, and a couple of rhyming teacups.)

    Summary

    Rook attends a necromancy conference with an old friend, Bellara. Rook is no mage, and they aren't a fan of several prestigious scholars like Bellara is, but there's panels, things to buy, even a fancy charity gala hosted by Emmrich Volkarin. Before all that, though, Rook makes a surprising discovery in an out-of-the-way bathroom that sends their weekend a little off the rails.
