These 13 stories follow familiar characters, exploring their lives and history as well as present day adventures. Each story is a stand alone within the wider Between the Worlds universe, but all are woven into the existing books in the series. Readers are invited to dive into the lives of characters both major and minor to find out more about what makes them who they are. Find out why Ciaran moved to Ashwood, how Allie's parents met, what Sal is up to in Ashwood, as well as what happens when elves decide to play 'good cop, bad cop' with a suspect. Nothing in Ashwood is ever quite what it seems on the surface, and there are a multitude of stories hiding in plain sight.
