Hope and war would never go in the same sentence. The words were like oil and water.
Treaties crumble. Unlikely alliances emerge. The resounding Echoes of War amplify their call. Amaia and her found family, bound together by threads of loyalty, have been shattered by a heart-wrenching betrayal. Desperate to do everything they can to protect the place they call home, the band of misfits find themselves compelled to split up.
As the line between right and wrong blurs, the question shifts from “What would you do?” to the haunting realization of “What have I done?” In this dystopian landscape, morality is but a fragile thing. The group finds themselves tested as elemental magic clashes with dark arts and advanced technology.
In the midst of turmoil; delicate bonds begin to flourish for some, emerging as symbols of hope amid life’s unyielding storms, while others grapple with the tests imposed by the ravages of war.
The saga continues, and the echoes sing louder than ever before.

A murder and a missing book have Addie Greyborne running around her Massachusetts town trying to read the clues . . .
January isn’t the season for the seaside, but the big Fire and Ice festival is keeping bookstore owner Addie busy. Amid the plans for a fireworks display and an ice-carving competition, she’s also dog sitting for a friend in the hospital. When Addie goes to her friend’s house to gather supplies, she notices an interesting item on the nightstand which belongs to her shop assistant, Paige: a very valuable copy of the beloved children’s book The Secret Garden.
But Addie’s blood runs cold when she finds something else: a dead body behind the bakery next door to her shop. Martha, the bakery owner, has no alibi—and has been seen in a heated argument with the victim. And the next thing Addie knows, that first edition has gone missing. Is there a connection between the body and the treasured tome? If there is, it’s up to Addie to find a killer with a motive as hidden as Frances Hodgson Burnett’s famous garden . . .
