he discovers when an NYPD detective draws him into the pursuit of a killer who
has threatened to strike from beyond the grave.
Fallen by Mia Sheridan.
Scarlett Lattimore arrives
at Lilith House, an abandoned mansion built in 1876, that later housed a reform
school for troubled girls, to start a new life with her seven-year-old
daughter. But between the nearby town with the strange, disconcerting feel, the
deputy sheriff who is equal parts intriguing and suspicious, and the discovery
that their new home holds a dark and violent past, Scarlett soon begins to
question her rash decision. She is shaken and afraid by the screams that echo
in the walls and the drumbeat that arises from the surrounding woods where the
ghost of an indigenous man is said to roam, seeking vengeance. Her fear is also
personal, because Scarlett knew one of the girls who attended the school, a
friend who escaped into those woods and was never seen again. They all thought
she was a rebellious runaway who later encountered foul play, but perhaps the
truth is far more sinister. As Scarlett's extraordinary daughter Haddie becomes
consumed by the eerie figure who weaves and beckons through the forest fog, and
a legacy of secrets reveal themselves, it becomes clear both Scarlett and
Haddie are in grave danger. When the past intersects with the present, they
will come face to face with the true evil of Lilith House. An evil that has
lasted for more than a century.

What Are Castles and
Knights? by Sarah Fabiny. J NF
Castles may conjure up a
romantic fairy tale world; however, in real life, during the Middle Ages,
castles were fortresses, providing shelter and protection for the lord as well
as for the peasants who lived on his land. For an army, a lord depended on
young soldiers in armor called knights who spent years at the castle learning
the skills of warfare. Author Sarah Fabiny dives into the history of castles
and how they grew from simple wood structures to mighty fortresses in stone.
She also explains who could become a knight and what their lives were like off
of the battlefield, enjoying feasts, courting their lady loves, and showing off
in tournaments.
