We are incredibly excited to announce that our April Locked Library theme is . . .
Black Cats and Broken Hearts
Everyone knows what happens when magic-workers appear – they harvest human hearts for their spells. But our unlikely heroine never expected someone would want hers. When a sorcerer accidentally snags a part of her heart, she turns up at his home to demand it be returned. Only he doesn’t know how to. Searching for a cure, she can only rely on the sorcerer’s talking cat and his enchanted house, with walls that seem to have moods.
