Family Plot

Alastair Stone Chronicles, Book Forty

By: R. L. King

Narrated by: Will M. Watt

FAMILY. CAN'T LIVE WITH 'EM... CAN'T KILL 'EM.

The last person Alastair Stone wants anything to do with is his twin sister Acantha. Having her consciousness stuffed inside another body has done nothing to improve her.

So when one of the Windermere druids reaches out to him with news that Acantha’s disappeared—and by the way, she’s also losing her mind—he’s in no particular hurry to help track her down.

The only problem is, while he wouldn’t put Acantha out if she were on fire, her growing madness is already threatening innocents.

When he reluctantly heads to the Middle East with Verity and Ian to locate her and bring her home, he discovers she’s formed an alliance with a dangerous enemy—and their plans might end up costing him something worse than his life.

If all this isn’t enough to keep him busy, he’s discovered a hidden room in the Surrey house—one that holds secrets as potentially perilous as they are intriguing.

Prepare to lose yourself in this #1 Amazon-bestselling urban fantasy series readers are calling “Unstoppable” and “A major winner!” Once you enter the world of Alastair Stone, you won’t want to leave.
