How Love Came to Professor Guildea: Professor Guildea is an extremely unsentimental man-he doesn’t need nor want anyone’s affection. He has his work, and that is enough. Until one evening when he sees a figure in the park, and crosses the street to investigate. No one is there, and yet Guildea is convinced that someone follows him back into his house... a strange presence with a curious and very irritating attraction to him. A Tribute of Souls: Alistair Ralston, the young Laird of Carlounie, has a feeble soul matched to his pinched and pallid body. But his desires are Gargantuan, as is his hate for those more fortunate. And so one day he takes a book of magical incantations into the woods and makes a pact with the grey traveller: three souls to Satan in exchange for a renewed body. He is brought back to Carlounie in a fever. When he recovers, he is a new man-powerful, driven. It is time to use this power...    The Lost Faith: Olivia has known most of her life that she has the power to heal. It all comes down to faith.
