The Legend... Long ago there lived a group of women known as the Daughters of the Earth, revered for their wisdom and knowledge, skilled in healing and white magic. But as time passed, they came to be known by a far more sinister term . . . witches.

Ariane Cheney, the Lady of Faire Isle is famed for her mystical skills and keeping her island secure from danger. A difficult task during a time of strife when Catherine de Medici is known and feared by other Daughters of the Earth as the Dark Queen. One night a wounded stranger arrives on Faire Isle and whispers to Ariane a secret that the Dark Queen would kill to possess.

There are prophecies and there is the Prophecy.

The Bhavisyaganant, the Song of Prophecy, foretells a time of darkness, of creatures from another world invading Dizhelim to destroy all life and light.

To combat this evil, the Great Prophet Tsosin Ruus built the Hero Academy to train the Malatirsay, the hero who is the only means to defeat the darkness, prophesied to appear at the proper time.

But when is the time and who will it be?

A fledgling government in threat of extinction. Three artifacts of power hold the key to safety, or to doom. A powerful energy user who will stop at nothing to rule over all.

A war is coming. Truths come to light. Sacrifices must be made.

Ivy has always known that the Elven Council holds the fate of both humans and fair folk in their hands, but now their devious agenda threatens to destroy everything she holds dear. Trapped in a realm with an icy princess, deadly amulets, and fresh wounds, the least of Ivy's concerns might be her shattered heart—she may also lose her innate magic. Without a Gathering seed, Ivy won't survive long in either realm.

When his uncle runs off to visit Alastair’s grave for the first time, Tom Apollyon finds their family roles reversed: he feels obligated to watch over Paul, who never makes impulsive decisions while drunk.

The catch is The Shuck—not a peaceful cemetery near the sea, just a pub near the sea—actually contains the polite, but unpredictable, spirit of Paul’s former lover.

They were wrong.

Life is simple: Survive each day…until you don’t

Lily Fisher, formerly the assassin called Phoenixarrow, has always danced on the line between life and death. Even more so since she joined the ranks of the heroes fighting the hordes of animaru for the survival of Dizhelim.

Jacqueline Finch and her mystical, magical bookshop is back in this third entry of the bestselling Three Tomes Bookshop series!

Spring is in full swing in lakefront Button Cove, and Jacqueline is embracing her new life—her friends, her new home, the crones down the street, and especially the detective with a hot-Viking vibe. It’s not half bad, considering the fact that she has the bickering literary characters of Mrs. Hudson (Sherlock’s landlady) and the dour, creepy housekeeper Mrs. Danvers from Rebecca “helping” her to run the bookshop, and her nemesis Egala Stone is opening her own store down the block.
