Retired adventurers, a cursed debt and one last stand.

Sunnywood House was supposed to be a quiet retirement home for adventurers past their prime — a place to rest weary bones, swap old stories, and stay well out of trouble.

Trouble, unfortunately, has other plans.

When a cursed debt brings dark magic, mysterious enforcers, and an alarming number of undead rabbits to their doorstep, a stubborn group of ageing heroes find their home under threat. With nowhere else to go, they’ll have to decide whether they’re truly finished… or if they still have one last adventure left in them.

Joined by a scrappy new recruit who never expected to live with legends, the residents of Sunnywood House must rely on old tricks, unlikely friendships, and the kind of magic that doesn’t fade with age.

Perfect for fans of The Thursday Murder Club and Legends & Lattes, Sunnywood House is a cosy, comic fantasy full of British humour and heart — a found-family story about fighting for your home, even when the world insists you’re past your prime.

The Strangest Criminals by Blake Polden

ORDER A SIGNED & GIFT-WRAPPED COPY FOR YOU OR A FRIEND

Welcome to Public Unrest: part cult, part crime syndicate, all chaos.

Sally Li didn't mean to become a key player in the magical underworld. She just wanted to grow her weird, glowing plants in peace. But in the city of Strange-a seaside town with more secrets than seagulls-peace is in short supply.

Sal cultivates Tinker, a rare, memory-meddling plant grown for Public Unrest: a secretive, enchantment-fuelled crime syndicate hidden beneath the city. Its network is everywhere-through laundrette spin cycles, bakery ovens, and broom cupboards in takeaway shops-and it runs on a potent mix of magic, tech, and ruthless charm.

To the outside world, Sal is just another StrangeEats delivery rider. But underground, she's Fix: the Orchard Manager, growing the most valuable (and volatile) product in the Family's supply chain. She's protected, surveilled, and suspiciously well-treated. Which means she's either very important-or dangerously expendable.

When a turf war brews and Sal's chosen family-her girlfriend Lucy and her flatmate Matti-get tangled in the fallout, she's forced to confront how deep she's in and who's really calling the shots. Is she building something worthwhile or just tending the roots of a new kind of cult?

Set in a world where spells are bought online and secret doorways open through household appliances, The Strangest Criminals is a sharp, funny, and subversive crime fantasy about loyalty, found family, and the cost of choosing the wrong kind of magic. Perfect for fans of Neverwhere, Rivers of London, and The Thursday Murder Club-with a rebellious heart and a criminally good sense of humour.
