Mystery shadows the canals of Doskvol, a murky port city besieged by ghosts. The Silkworms are a criminal crew torn by internal conflict as an apocalyptic prophecy unfolds in the background of the colorful Festival. Inspector Cellars pursues justice, and uncovers a threat that could destroy the world. This is the third book in a series inspired by "Blades in the Dark," a role playing game by John Harper.

Daring thieves steal from one of the most important aristocrats in Doskvol, and a blood curse is awakened. As the city's elite focus on retribution, the scoundrels try to steal their lives back.

A heist goes wrong, somebody important gets stabbed, and crime in Silkshore loses its balance. As a gang war looms, two criminal crews maneuver through the haunted and corrupt city of Doskvol, using crime and diplomacy to survive and get paid. Based in the setting of John Harper's tabletop role playing game Blades in the Dark.

Although running is becoming one of the most popular sports, learning to run properly can take time, energy and consistency. You need to do it regularly to become good at it and until you have achieved a certain level of competence, it is unlikely that you will enjoy it very much, or for very long. For many runners physical and mental barriers can stop progress. This book’s ultimate aim is to help you enjoy to run – to enjoy the feeling of movement, to overcome inertia, to renew yourself and to boost energy as a result. Master the Art of Running is based on the proven principles of the Alexander Technique that encourage good body use and greater awareness of the way your body functions and moves. The technique teaches you how to release tension from your back and neck and how to run without suffering from injuries. The authors’ perspective on the sport takes them into areas rarely touched on in conventional manuals. Instead of placing importance on speed, targets and goals it emphasises the importance of the way you run so you can transform your training and performance.

When Thomas Hardy listens to Louis Armstrong, music reaches out to poetry across centuries and oceans. Here, a “dreamer at a loss” passes notes to a classmate, “cards of absolute equivocation” that “run through all the scales in all the keys,” from “a man of many hats” to Osip Mandelstam’s tambourine, from the dream of a monk to a broken traffic light.
