The Deserted Village – 1837
Artist: Carl Rakeman (1878-1965)

The killer has finally been revealed. Now Emily Fisher finds herself in a life-and-death struggle. Too bad she’s tied up! But this is not a battle that will be won with fists, no. It will be waged over stranger terrain, in ways Emily never could have imagined before she came back to Quasopon. Will she be able to use the lessons she learned in the thrall of Lavinia Priest’s ghost to defeat a  living human opponent? Find out in “The Battle of the Deserted Village,” chapter 37 of Prophecies and Penalties.
