What kind of man chooses to trade all the comforts of a civilized East for the chaos of the Wild West? What forces a man on an unstoppable trajectory toward passion, love and loss? And how does one decide to be a doctor at a time when the entire profession is ridiculed? Dr. Patrick Kinney is no ordinary man, not least for his tenuous position as the only medical professional in Flats Junction. He's met his match in the widow Jane, in more ways than one, but together they struggle against disease, injuries and the stubborn resistance of frontier folk to medicine and healthcare. Now, old enemies lurk and new threats loom. Flats Junction hurtles toward the unknown as Patrick and Jane struggle to save as many lives as they can.

A village snared with hive-brain controlled by an ancient queen faces an evil beast who is said to devour the hearts of maidens...or so the rumor goes... Zaklina hoards stories to give her comfort in a lonely existence, even after she travels to distant Miódshire to care for her pregnant sister. Upon arriving in the village, Zaklina meets the town's wisewoman, Mrs. Staryski, who warns Zaklina about the local meadow and the ageless monster who roams the forests beyond it. But when rot and decay descend upon Miódshire and all begin to mindlessly starve, Zaklina is certain there is something far more sinister living among the townfolk. She offers herself to the monster, a Gargoyle-creature who takes her to his crumbling castle. It is a place filled with a fickle magic that strips Zaklina of her stories. She is not certain she escaped a far worse doom in Miódshire, until the Gargoyle asks for her help-if she can abide the unwritten rules and spend seven nights in the castle. As the horrors unfold each sunset, Zaklina must fight to survive demons and terrors without her memories to help her. While she shields her aching heart, she slowly discovers the Gargoyle is more ancient and powerful than anyone could imagine.

No-one takes a mixed-race woman seriously in the Dakotas, but Kate has never let her heritage or her gender stand in her way. Kate has a plan to make herself indispensable and she intends to succeed, no matter who stands in her way.

Proper Boston widow Jane Weber moves to the Dakota Territories under layers of lies to save her reputation. Stirring up controversy, Jane rooms with the last Blackfoot Sioux in town while navigating a mercurial friendship with the fiercely independent town grocer. In Flats Junction, though, everyone has an untold story. Battling her shortcomings, falsehoods, and swallowing her inherent curiosity, Jane must choose how she will truly reinvent herself, and where she belongs.
