Charles Dickens' classic tale of Christmas hauntings, reimagined in a new world. It is the winter of 1882, and the wizard, Merlene, has had his eye on the Captain of the Watchmen, Ambrosius Baltus. As wrathful and mean as Ebenezer Scrooge, he is in even more of an advantageous situation to affect the people of London for good. But as Merlene’s foul-mouthed horse companion The Nag warns, this armoured, firecasting duart proves to be a stubborn and dangerous choice for this Christmas Eve project, and their ethically questionable scheme may result in more harm than it does help. A short novella from the creator of Tiger's Eye and Arlington, featuring the characters of The Princess Thieves, and blending Dickens’ words with a new perspective.

Set on an alternate Earth where great cats evolved to become the dominant species, Tiger’s Eye follows Hrao, a somewhat obsessive-compulsive hunter who one day discovers a human child adrift in the river. This is the story of her epic quest to get rid of him. They journey out into a land shrouded in mystery, at once ancient and new, beset on all sides by dangers both strange and personal. Hrao is going to have to let her guard down.

America has survived a war of independence, a civil war, and a plague that has transformed its people into feral predators. Now humanity needs to pull together or face extinction. Sharp-eyed doctor James Penrose and foul-mouthed boxer Abigail Grey are new recruits to the Cartographer Scouts, agents of the reunified US government. They set off across West Virginia, a dangerous wilderness now home to the savage victims of the wendigo outbreak.
