Rook
This standalone novel set in the world of the NYT bestselling Jackaby series is perfect for anyone who likes fantasy adventures full of drama, mystery, and mayhem, from modern favourites like the MCU and The Adventure Zone to evergreen classics like Doctor Who and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
This standalone adventure set in the world of the New York Times bestselling Jackaby series brims with humour, heart, and—of course—a hefty dose of supernatural mayhem.
Abigail Rook never intended to be the mortal bridge between the human and supernatural world. But now, the power of the Sight—and all the chaos that comes with seeing the essential truth of everything, every human, fairy, werewolf, enchanted slip of paper, and municipal building, at all times—is hers alone. With this overwhelming new gift, she should be able to solve crimes and help New Fiddleham, New England, find calm in its supernatural chaos.
The only problem? She has no idea what she's doing.
And New Fiddleham isn't waiting for Abigail to be ready. Local witches and other magical beings are going missing, as tensions between human and supernatural residents curdle into a hatred that could tear the city apart. Abigail's fiancé, Charlie, works alongside her to unravel the magical disappearances, but as a shapeshifter, he's under threat as well. Then Abigail's parents appear, ready to take her back to England and marry her off to someone she's never met.
Abigail has no choice but to follow her Sight, her instincts, and any clues she can find to track a culprit who is trying to destroy everything she holds dear.
