But things aren’t exactly as they seem. Seaview Haven is one of the Seelie Court Network’s many invented TROPE towns, and the “mysteries” are scripted and streamed for the entertainment of enchanted creatures across the Veil. Or, rather, they were…

Winnie has a wicked case of writer’s block, moviemaking across the Veil has ground to a halt, and the town is crumbling.

Enter Finch, an SCN intern who might be the worst Unseelie ever. With aid from his reluctant brownie assistant, Finch is assigned to figure out what’s gone wrong in Seaview Haven… so he can dismantle it forever. But after landing in town, Finch soon learns that real lives – and real friends – aren’t so easily canceled.

To keep “The End” from being stamped on Seaview Haven, Winnie and Finch are going to have to tell a Truly Great Tale. Because as they realize, real power lies not in the stories we watch, but in the stories we tell ourselves.

OUR FRIENDS IN GOOD HOUSES de Rahul Pandita

Renowned journalist Rahul Pandita’s first novel takes a precarious double journey, into the world and into the heart.

OUR FRIENDS IN GOOD HOUSES
by Rahul Pandita
HarperCollins India, October 2025

Neel is a journalist drawn to war zones. It’s in these spaces riven by conflict that his sense of dislocation, of not belonging anywhere, drops off him. At all other times, he’s in quest, seeking solid ground: a home. It is a pursuit that takes him halfway across the world to America and back to the urban dystopia of Delhi, headlong into fleeting relationships that glimmer with the promise of shelter

Is Neel—haunted by the past and exiled from the present—likely to find what he desires in ephemeral associations? Will he chance upon the quiet anchorage he seeks in short-term dwellings and the objects he gathers within them-coffee percolators and rugs, posters and penknives? Or is the home he so badly wants elsewhere? Not in the noise and blood and lust outside, but in some sanctuary within?

Vulnerable, provocative and astute, OUR FRIENDS IN GOOD HOUSES is one of the finest explorations yet of the long road to a place called home.

Rahul Pandita is a journalist who is known for his reporting from war-torn areas. He is the author of Hello, Bastar: The Untold Story of India’s Maoist Movement; Our Moon has Blood Clots: A Memoir of a Lost Home in Kashmir; The Lover Boy of Bahawalpur: How the Pulwama Case was Cracked; and is the co-author of The Absent State: Insurgency as an Excuse for Misgovernance.

THE NIGHT WITCHES

HarperCollins Canada, March 2027

1941: As the Nazis flatten her country, Maria Raskova, a record-breaking Russian female pilot and navigation instructor, receives permission to form the only female aviation regiment in WWII. From the start, the odds are against the women in the night-bomber regiment, forced to fly in deadly open-cockpit biplanes, made of canvas and wood, with a top speed of only 94 miles an hour.

Then, after their most tragic night of the war, the female night-bombers must overcome their grief and shaken confidence to complete their missions safely and prove their worth to their male counterparts, who have jeered at the women since they began training.

Told through the eyes of four women pilots in this unprecedented squadron, THE NIGHT WITCHES, inspired by real women and true events, is a story of triumphant femininity in the face of staggering odds.

Shelly Sanders is the bestselling author of the adult novels The Night Sparrow and Daughters of the Occupation as well as the acclaimed young adult historical novels The Rachel Trilogy. She began her writing career as a freelance journalist working for major publications, including the Toronto Star, National Post, Maclean’s, Canadian Living, Reader’s Digest, and Today’s Parent.

THE SWEET CHEAT de Martha Grimes

The New York Times bestselling and award-winning author returns with a beguiling mystery starring the brilliant, idiosyncratic young sleuth Emma Graham as she attempts to solve a murder, free a wrongfully convicted man—and write her own novel along the way.

THE SWEET CHEAT
by Martha Grimes
Grove Atlantic, December 2026

Twelve-year-old Emma Graham can’t seem to stay out of trouble in the small town of Spirit Lake. But how can she when her small town is besieged by murder, a disappearance, and savage attacks? But nothing will stop her from asking questions and relentlessly pursuing the truth—even if the sheriff is less than enthused.

When two men are accused of murder, Emma dives headfirst into the case, convinced there is a third suspect, a missing piece of the puzzle. Along the way, Emma begins writing her own mystery, inspired by the case and populated by the colorful cast of local waitresses, lawyers, drifters, and kooky customers she encounters during her investigation.

In this original and lively novel, Martha Grimes weaves a propulsive mystery against the backdrop of a vibrant town. Strikingly intuitive, quirky and always curious, Emma Graham is the perfect young sleuth who always sees the best in people—while still uncovering their secrets along the way.

Martha Grimes is the bestselling author of more than thirty books, twenty-six of them featuring Richard Jury, and has sold more than 10 million copies in the US alone. The recipient of the 2012 Mystery Writers of America’s Grand Master Award, Grimes lives in Bethesda, Maryland.
