When she is five years old, Fan Chang Ning watches her sister carry a half-dead stranger in out of the snow and decides, in the way small children decide enormous things, that guarding him will be her job. It is the first thing she ever chooses for herself. It will not be the last. This is the story of the girl at the edges of the war. Stolen from a market crowd and sold north into a cold house. Traded back out of the dark. Thrown through the black air above a battlefield, and caught. Somewhere along that road she presses on a lonely boy the only thing she owns that is worth giving, a cricket folded from a blade of grass, and he presses a piece of imperial jade into her hand in return, and neither of them yet understands that the boy will grow into the emperor, or that a scrap of folded grass can come to outweigh a throne. Years later, a decree travels north with her name written inside it. Empress. The court calls it the great fortune the readers of faces saw in her when she was a baby. But Chang Ning has spent her whole life learning to tell a gift from a cage, and she knows the difference better than almost anyone alive, because she has been kept once already, and she will ride the length of the country to refuse being kept again.

When Edi Nakamura draws a girl she's never seen before but feels like she should know, it leads her to confront the other strange drawings she's created, the history of her sleepy town, and the abandoned railway carriage that holds the key to both love and destruction―once she opens its doors. *** Behind Langdale High, there is a forest, and in that forest are a set of railroad tracks with a railway carriage wrought with twisted vines and greenery devouring it slowly. Edi Nakamura draws this carriage whenever she puts pencil to paper―which isn't very often, after she knew the gravity of the power her drawings possess, what her art represents. But in the throes of school on the verge of summer break, she is forced to draw for her art final, and the resulting work was as puzzling as it was concerning. Not a carriage, like she expected, but a girl. While her friends tease her about crushes and pretty girls, Edi stares at her drawing, rooted to her seat. She's never seen this girl before, but deep down Edi knows she exists―and that she means more to her than words can express. She's willing to try any way to find out who she is. Even if it means facing the carriage in her drawings, the one behind her school; the one that radiates unsettling mystery, and figuring out what lies inside. What she finds, however, is more than just a girl with her own darkness surrounding her, relating to the trees; she finds an unforgiving forest and an uncanny carriage rotting away slowly amid the surrounding nature; she finds a dangerous desire that culminates in a risk taken madly. She finds an unexpected prospect of love in the form of Bea Rinaldi, the girl of her drawings; but at a price―just like with all her art. Now it's up to the two unlikely soulmates from different lives, different dimensions even, to stop the vengeful trees from inching closer and closer to the rest of Langdale and reverse the mayhem that had struck from opening that carriage door.

Collection I of Whispers from The Salt Table "There was an old saying in my great-grandmother's house: Don't leave the window open when someone is close to leaving." James never believed in old family sayings. He spent a lifetime running from love, pushing away the people who cared for him most, and convincing himself he needed no one. Now, at the end of his life, he lies alone in a quiet nursing home room with blue walls, a television that never says anything worth hearing, and one window that refuses to stay closed. Every morning, the nurses close it. Every night, it opens again. At first, the breeze is warm. Then it begins to whisper. As forgotten memories return and old regrets rise to the surface, James must face the one journey he spent his entire life avoiding-the road back home. Inspired by family traditions, faith, memory, and Southern folklore, James and the Open Window is the first collection in Whispers from The Salt Table-stories where love, loss, and mystery quietly share the same room. Because some stories aren't meant to frighten us. They're meant to remind us.
