Axe of Fate: Goldenfields
Summary
The Axe of Fate looks to return to the one who pulled it from the fires of the forges many years ago, thereby keeping it from being claimed by a powerful demon, who would have used it to enslave the world of Onviness. Gavista Goldenfields has been chosen as the next to wield the Axe of Fate.
With Karvain, the commander of the Chivelestine Army, at her side, she journeys to eliminate a new threat to the Kingdom of Chivelestine. She discovers that getting the Axe of Fate back in the hands of the one who pulled it from the forges isn't going to be easy because he is trapped in a glacier of ice that engulfs the northern half of the highlands.
To her horror, she learns that if the glacier is thawed, her home in the lowlands will be swallowed by the sea. However, if the Axe of Fate is not returned, then the lands cannot be set free of the demons that roam. As she ventures forth, struggling with this taxing decision between saving her homelands or setting them free of the demons, she discovers that her time is limited. The crisis grows as demons set their schemes in motion. Gavista wonders if she really has a choice or if it is Fate.

The Secret Assassin
Summary
The body lying on its back before us was unquestionably that of the man who had attempted to kill Holmes and I with explosives at Glenbury Gardens. He wore the same dark clothing, although his hat was gone, and the hare lip was a livid scar on his pallid face. Strangely, it crossed my mind that what could be seen of his expression in death was softer than that he had worn in life.

The Demon of the Dusk
Summary
Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson are summoned to Theobald Grange, the Warwickshire home of Lady Heminworth.
Being of a nervous and superstitious disposition, her Ladyship lives in fear. Her husband and elder son were recently murdered, apparently by the ghost of a court jester who was executed on the site centuries before. The apparition has warned that she, too, is to die.
Holmes rejects a supernatural explanation, although his adversary seems unaffected by gunfire and is able to take flight and disappear. The "Great Detective" brings his powers to bear, but still the killings continue....

The One Hundred Per Cent Society
Summary
Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson take on the case of Mr Avery Quill, whose daughter has mysteriously disappeared. The investigation has hardly begun when her body is discovered, and Mr Quill is himself murdered in the same manner. The killer leaves visiting cards emblazoned with the head of the gorgon at the scenes of his crimes, and Holmes connects these to a strange club known as "The One Hundred per Cent Society". He learns little there, except that the members are all outcasts from noble families. The following morning, a visitor arrives at Baker Street to tell Holmes and Watson that the society has a sinister purpose and that its leader has identified them as an obstacle to his plans which must be removed. Thus begins a battle with a new and merciless adversary, whose madness and thirst for revenge threaten to bring about the deaths of an apparently unconnected group of people. The great detective pits his skills against an enemy, whose very appearance is uncertain.

Diamond Jubilee: Sherlock Holmes, Mark Twain, and the Peril of the Empire
Summary
It is June, 1897, the eve of the greatest celebration in the history of London - the Diamond Jubilee of Her Royal Highness Victoria, Queen of the United Kingdom and Empress of India. At 221B Baker Street, happy anticipation of the event is shattered when an alarmed Samuel Clemens bursts in and informs Holmes and Watson that his life is threatened by a bizarre international conspiracy. Holmes, Watson, and Clemens spend the frantic final days before the Jubilee discovering that the conspiracy is much worse than Clemens imagined. The very fate of the Empire is at stake. Replete with the trademark Holmesian insights and London underworld adventuring, Diamond Jubilee features a host of London characters, including a brilliant London "crime queen," Prime Minister Robert Gascoyne-Cecil, Mycroft Holmes, Scotland Yard's best and worst, the Baker Street Irregulars (themselves infiltrated by unknown sinister elements), and thousands of the most appalling rats.
