The other is Dmitri, a dark and treacherous genius. When the latter offers her a chance to return to the stage in her signature role, Natalia must decide whether she can again face the people responsible for both her soaring highs and darkest hours.Painting a vivid portrait of the Russian ballet world, where cutthroat ambition, ever-shifting politics, and sublime artistry collide, City of Night Birds unveils the making of a dancer with both profound intimacy and breathtaking scope.

Dig: A Thriller
by James Markert
The soil on Crow Island holds secrets, and they're ready to be unearthed. J. H. Markert returns with a surreal horror novel, perfect for fans of Graveyard Shift and What Moves the Dead. Eight years ago, a boy took up an axe and slaughtered a dozen people. That odd, troubled boy, Jericho Dodd, has been dead and buried in his father's yard for years, but ever since that massacre, Crow Island has been a dark and unsettling place. When Jericho's father begins digging up the past he buried, a compulsion to dig sweeps over the island and soon everyone else is obsessively churning up dirt, desperate to uncover buried secrets. The compulsion leads to violence and as neighbors turn against each other, the island's famous tupelo honey, harvested from trees deep in a swamp, changes too. As dread and paranoia seep up from the ground, it becomes clear that the island itself needs something from its residents-before it digs itself apart for good. Be careful what you unearth from the dirt before this surreal horror novel can worm its way into you too.
