Gena Showalter shares a special message at the end of the episode.
Jane digs deeper into a suspicious death in her beloved hometown, but quickly finds herself knee-deep in bake sales, building permits and one bakery’s suspiciously sweet success. Whispers of shady grants and city funds lead straight to a sugar-dusted paper trail. When a cozy renovation committee starts to look more like a recipe for corruption, Jane turns up the heat.
This episode features The Great and Terrible by Gena Showalter.
When twenty-year-old college dropout Moriah Shaker runs into an empty chapel to escape an unexpected storm, she’s catapulted into another world Wizard of Oz style. Unfortunately, she winds up in the treacherous realm of Hakeldama, a fantastical but brutal land where justice is twisted and innocents pay for crimes committed by the elites—and she’s now marked for death.
On the run and determined to get home, Moriah heads for the City of Lux, where a rumored portal between worlds exists. At her side are the most unlikely of companions. A scrapy hustler, a cranky ex-mayor, and a growing beast-dog. But the one who fascinates her most is Jasher, a heartless executioner who hides a terrible secret. Together, they’ll battle bounty hunters, lethal poppies, and winged monsters. Though Moriah doesn’t yet know it, there’s nothing more dangerous than their forbidden attraction.
