If people would only stop trying to kill him, Halvar the Dane might finally manage to do what he was sent to the island of Manatas to do—get the fugitive Leon di Vicenza on a boat back to Al-Andalus.
And he didn’t intend to kill two people before breakfast in the process.
However, once again murder and intrigue immerse the calif’s Hireling in more trouble than he ever wanted; and before he learns who murdered the pawnbroker, the mystery will take enough twists and turns to make a good man dizzy.
Ali Caldwell thought her troubles were over, but she has a new one. She’s let her grades fall and now she’s on academic probation. She has to get her grades up or leave school.
Everyone is talking about an intriguing study system, but Ali realizes it’s nothing more than cheating, so she doesn’t use it. She studies for hours to get a perfect grade on her next test.
Instead of applauding, her teacher accuses her of cheating. To make things worse, the administration is certain that her boyfriend is the mastermind behind it all.
She needs to prove that not only didn’t she cheat, but Liam is innocent as well, before they both get kicked out of school.
