In 1986 Margaret Humphreys, a Nottingham social worker, investigated a woman's claim that, aged four, she had been put on a boat to Australia by the British government. At first incredulous, Margaret discovered that this was just the tip of an enormous iceberg. Up to 150,000 children, some as young as three years old, had been deported from children's homes in Britain and shipped off to a 'new life' in distant parts of the Empire, right up until as recently as 1970. Many were told that their parents were dead, and parents were told that their children had been adopted.

Dracula. A name of horror, depravity and the darkest sensuality. Yet the real Dracula was just as alluring, just as terrifying, his story not of a monster but of a man - and a contradiction.

When people vanish in the woods of Fox Hollow without a trace, it isn’t the first time—it’s just the first time the world notices. Strange lights. Empty homes. Time lost like spilled water. And something watching from above… waiting. But these are no ordinary invaders. They are the ones who have always been here. Manipulating. Collecting. Altering. And the Earth remembers. Koda, a towering guardian born of root and stone, blood and bark, feels the forest stir with ancestral warning. The stars blink. The glyphs burn. The old gate opens. What returns is not conquest—it is harvest.

To say Janie Rowland is down on her luck would be a Las-Vegas-sized understatement. And said luck only gets worse when she’s spotted by him while working a booth at the Clark Industries Expo. She has barely tolerated Benedict Clark (yes, as in Clark Industries) around their mutual friends. He’s a huge flirt, gorgeous, British, always with an entourage. Entirely over the top. She’s his total opposite. Low key. Craves routine. In bed by nine. Has, like, three friends. But he needs a wife before the end of the year and she desperately needs cash. A lot of it.
