missingvolume | #55 Turns of Fate by Anne Bishop

This is a new story universe but does have some similar themes as The Others. Humans coexist with The Arcana. Beth is a new detective in the town of Penwych and due to a coin toss she didn’t understand she is taking her first case to get more details about a gun used in a weird domestic violence shooting. Beth discovers that bargains made on the Isle of Wyrd can be more than they seem if you are not precise enough in your ask. Not all the Arcana look human or act like humans. Beth ends up working several cases that have parts of them going to or coming from the Isle. Most visitors to the Isle come for sightseeing and fortunetelling but there are other powers on the island and never go thought an arch unless you have no choice.
