    Summary

    “The outside world is a dangerous place.” Delilah said. “Filled with horrible, selfish people. You must stay here, where you're safe. Do you understand, flower?”

    This girl did look scared but not of Laudna. Her eyes were filled with curiosity and wonder. “Your mind,” she said, “it sounds like music.”

    --

    Laudna has spent her whole life at the top of the Sun Tree protected by Delilah Briarwood, until the day she meets Imogen Temult, who shows her the beauty in the world and in her dreams.

    Summary

    Vex knew her father hated them. It had been obvious when he left their mother alone to raise a pair of twins by herself. But she had never imagined he would hate them enough to stick them in foster care only a few months after losing her.

    Now Vex is scraping by on the streets, using her artistic talent to make enough for her and her dog to eat, searching for the twin brother who had been taken away from her because of the system.

    She didn't realize that when her search took her to Emon, the bustling city held both promises for the future and ghosts from the past.

    Summary

    It’s a warm day in June when the dead start to wake.

    They’ve not been cold in their graves, or laid out in coffins. These are the folk who lay still and quiet in their homes, or hospital beds. The ones who have been out of time.

    It’s the summer solstice, and the ghost-locked are waking up.

    Summary

    Scripts for a fourth season of Lockwood & Co adapted from Book 5: The Empty Grave

    * * *

    George: The ghost is likely that of an escape artist from the 1920’s who died onstage during an act.

    George produces a poster with the title “La Belle Dame Sans Merci in The Sultan’s Revenge” that shows a beautiful, scantily dressed woman, lying atop an ornate casket surrounded by swords. The poster is passed around the group.

    George (cont’d): She was very popular at the time, beautiful but famously heartless and cruel. She left a string of jilted lovers and jealous wives wherever she went. Newspapers from the time intimated that someone sabotaged her escape act leading to her death, but there were so many suspects that no arrests were ever made.

    Kipps (passing the poster to Lockwood): Not bad looking, is she Tony?

    Lockwood: Don’t call me that, Kipps, or I’ll think twice about hiring you to consult with us in future.

    Kipps chuckles.

    Lucy: La Belle Dame Sans Merci. That’s a mouthful.

    George: That was just her stage name. Her real name was Doris Blower, from Eastbourne.

    Kipps snorts.

    Lockwood (to everyone): Alright, you all know what to do.
