Description

Cainsville, Illinois. A town founded by fae escaping the Old World. A town both part of the world and cut off from it. A town that a young woman will run to, fleeing her past, only to discover that her past extends further than she ever imagined, into the distant history of Cainville itself. Collected in this volume are the stories of the town's past, of the people and the fae she will eventually meet. A child tormented by visions of fae castles and fierce dragons. A hobgoblin who tries in vain to avoid his role in an ancient prophecy. A boy, the product of that prophecy, who wants only a Solstice gift for his aunt. A writer who discovers all publicity is not really good publicity after all. An orange cat who won't quite stay dead. Another cat with more than his nine lives, one continually reborn to right an ancient wrong. And, finally, a story of Olivia herself, the young woman who ran there, now running away, searching for something she can't quite find. ******************************************************************************* Collection Contents: 1) The Screams of Dragons 2) Devil May Care 3) Gabriel's Gargoyles 4) Bad Publicity 5) The Orange Cat 6) Matagot - brand-new for this collection 7) The Lady of the Lake

Author Biography:

Kelley Armstrong believes experience is the best teacher, though she's been told this shouldn't apply to writing her murder scenes. To craft her books, she has studied aikido, archery and fencing. She sucks at all of them. She has also crawled through very shallow cave systems and climbed half a mountain before chickening out. She is however an expert coffee drinker and a true connoisseur of chocolate-chip cookies.Kelley Armstrong is the author of the Rockton thriller series, standalone thrillers beginning with Wherever She Goes, and the Royal Guide to Monster Slaying middle-grade fantasy series. Past works include the Otherworld urban fantasy series, the Cainsville gothic mystery series, the Nadia Stafford thriller trilogy, the Darkest Powers & Darkness Rising teen paranormal series and the Age of Legends teen fantasy series.
