The Plot

In 'The House in the Cerulean Sea', we follow Linus Baker, a by-the-book caseworker for magical children, as he embarks on a life-changing assignment to a mysterious orphanage. Tasked with evaluating the home and its peculiar residents, Linus soon discovers that the magic of the place is not merely in the children but also in the bonds they share and the secrets they hold.

'Under the Whispering Door' tells the poignant story of Wallace Price, a man who finds himself at the threshold of the afterlife. With the help of a gentle ferryman, he learns the importance of living fully and loving deeply, even as he confronts his past mistakes and seeks redemption.
