"The City of Austin stands on the edge of magical catastrophe, and Special Agent Izzie Berens is racing against the clock.
The Arcane Syndicate has made its move, and the vengeful witch who has haunted Izzie's past is back—this time for a final, devastating assault.
As the magical population teeters on the brink of chaos, Izzie and Rafe must rally their allies, each of them armed with deadly power and dangerous secrets.
But the deeper they dig, the more the conspiracy twists—and Izzie's faith in those she trusts most is shaken to the core. As the stakes grow higher. she risks ending up alone again as her partnership with Rafe and her relationship with Caden could fracture beyond repair.
With the very soul of Austin at risk, Izzie is about to face her most personal battle yet. Can she hold it all together before everything she's fought for comes crashing down?
The war for Austin's magical future is underway—and Izzie Berens is ready to go to hell and back to save it.
Time is running out. Will Izzie's resolve be enough to stop the Syndicate or will magic's dark tide consume them all?"
"Some spells are never meant to be cast.
When Izzie Berens, top agent for the Paranormal Defense Agency, experiences a vision of reality shattering around her, she knows something is terribly wrong. A rogue wizard has uncovered a forbidden spell so powerful it could warp time, space, and magic itself—if he succeeds in casting it.
With the celestial alignment that fuels the spell just days away, Izzie and her team must race against time, tracking down lost artifacts, battling ancient guardians, and navigating a web of magical conspiracies. But they're not the only ones on the hunt. The wizard's followers will stop at nothing to protect their leader's dark ritual.
From hidden temples to underground magical enclaves, every step brings them closer to a final, brutal showdown. But as the spell nears completion, even reality itself begins to betray them. Warped magic, shifting timelines, and devastating illusions make it impossible to tell friend from foe.
Failure means unmaking reality itself. And Izzie? She'll risk everything—including her own soul—to stop it."
"Izzie Berens learned a thing or two at the School of Necessary Magic, back in the day. But was it enough?
When a daring magical heist recovers a mysterious magical box that threatens the entire city, Izzie rushes to track down the thieves. Nobody seems to know what was stolen, but they all know it's dangerous.
As Izzie and Rafe chase every lead, they uncover the crime is linked to a dark conspiracy motivated by far more than petty greed, forcing Izzie to confront not just the present threat, but a dark part of her past.
What hidden truth waits in the box and will it destroy Izzie?
Tensions rise between Izzie and Rafe as they try to protect the city while grappling with very personal stakes.
Can Izzie protect the people she cares about when her own history might be the key to everything? With danger around every corner, it's a race against time."
"Some criminals hide in the shadows. Others change the game entirely.
When a routine jewel theft leads to an unexpected confrontation on a rooftop, Paranormal Defense Agent Izzie Berens thinks she's wrapping up a standard case. But when the suspect—a winged Arpak—hurls a magical artifact at her before collapsing, it sets off a chain reaction that exposes something far more sinister lurking beneath Austin's magical underworld.
What starts as a simple takedown quickly spirals into a deadly mystery when an unregistered magical creature attacks a city cop, surviving gunshots, stun spells, and even anti-magic rounds. The problem? He wasn't supposed to be magical at all. As Izzie and her partner Rafe dig deeper, they uncover traces of dark magic that shouldn't exist—powerful, insidious, and growing stronger by the day.
With tensions rising and the Arcane Syndicate's influence spreading like wildfire, Izzie is forced to confront an unsettling truth: this isn't just another case. This is the beginning of something bigger, something designed to rewrite the rules of magic itself. And if she doesn't stop it in time, Austin—and the entire magical world—may never be the same."
"In the heart of Vermont's Green Mountains, Helen Whybrow and her partner are presented with the opportunity to steward a two-hundred-acre conserved farm. Whybrow knows that 'belonging more than anything requires participation' and radically intertwines her life with the land. Six months after purchasing Knoll Farm, they unload a flock of Icelandic sheep onto the field and Whybrow becomes a shepherd entering into 'nature's constant cycle of life into death into life' and all its unexpected lessons.
The challenging and profoundly rewarding work unfolds for Whybrow in the everyday rituals of farmsteading and caring for her family—birthing lambs in the late winter, harvesting blueberries in summer, fending off coyotes and foxes, seasonal shearing—while instilling the lessons of the land in her daughter and caring for her mother. As life at Knoll Farm endures years both abundant and lean, she learns that true stewardship is about accepting change and adapting. She embraces a transcendent rhythm of blood and bone, milk and muck.
At once inspiring and brave, deeply felt and gorgeously written, The Salt Stones is a loving look at the world through a shepherd's interconnected ethos."
"I messed up, and now it's time to face the music . . . literally.
I thought I was helping. That I knew best. Even though he was saying he didn't want it, I knew he would be loved by millions if he'd just let the world hear his talent.
So, I did it, anyway. I uploaded a video of my not-so-secret crush, Bram Baker, singing and playing his guitar to my popular and heavily followed BingBang account, and guess what!? I was right. The video reached millions of people, and a star was born.
But now, Bram hates me. I disregarded his wishes, and his life changed without his permission. He never had any desire for the adoration of strangers, and my actions screwed up his perfectly average and peaceful existence.
Just in time for my big move to Evening Shade, where he lives and tends bar at the small town's only tavern.
To make matters worse, the apartment I was supposed to live in has gone up in flames, my second option—staying with my newly engaged best friend—has been taken away, and I'm running out of alternatives . . . until the man I'd been falling for before I betrayed him steps up and shocks us all, offering me his spare bedroom.
This can work, right? Of course, it can. It has to."
"Gavin Reese rose to stardom and became a teenage heartthrob ten years ago, but before that, he was just Gavin, an eighteen-year-old boy who caught my eye and stole my heart while filming the movies that would eventually make him a household name.
We were friends first. I was only fifteen and too young for anything romantic, but over the next year, our friendship grew into something more. Something special. At least, it was special to me.
Apparently, what he had with his gorgeous costar wasn't all smoke and mirrors and lines on a page.
Ten years later, he came back to Evening Shade for a convention celebrating the anniversary of the first film's release. I managed to avoid him the whole weekend, but now that he's decided to stay for a while, I don't know what I'm going to do.
But I know what I'm not going to do.
I'm not going to fall for that sweet, good guy act. Not again. I may have fangirled over the boy who'd eventually become a star, but I refuse to fall for the playboy who's never had a serious relationship . . . including the one he had with me.
Ouch. Why does that still sting?"
"Magic is real. So are monsters. And Izzie Berens is the one who hunts them down.
When a series of violent attacks shakes Austin's magical district, Paranormal Defense Agent Izzie Berens and her partner, Rafe, are called in to investigate. The evidence points to a rogue shapeshifter—one with the terrifying ability to mimic anyone it touches. As the body count rises and the city teeters on the brink of chaos, Izzie and Rafe uncover a chilling conspiracy: someone is using dark magic to destabilize the fragile balance between humans and magical beings.
The chase takes them through Austin's hidden supernatural underworld, where danger lurks behind every shadow and alliances are never what they seem. But when a dramatic rooftop confrontation ends with the shapeshifter escaping—and leaving behind a powerful amulet pulsing with ancient energy—Izzie realizes she's no longer just tracking a rogue magical. She's hunting something far worse.
And it's only getting started."
"Some magic is too dangerous to be wielded. Some power should never be awakened.
When a high-security vault in Austin is breached, and a dangerous magical artifact is stolen, Federal Arcane Enforcer Izzie Berens is pulled into a deadly chase through the city's black-market underworld. The artifact isn't just any relic—it's a weapon capable of shifting the balance of power in the magical world, and every crime lord, dark mage, and supernatural syndicate wants to claim it for themselves.
With her partner Evie at her side, Izzie infiltrates a hidden auction house where the artifact is set to be sold. But outbidding ruthless magical crime lords is the easy part—escaping with the artifact is another story. When they are ambushed by an unknown faction, Izzie realizes this heist is just the beginning of a much larger and deadlier plan.
As the artifact begins to awaken, unleashing chaotic energy and amplifying dark magic, Izzie must race against time to contain its power before it consumes her—and the entire city. But the deeper she digs, the clearer it becomes: this theft wasn't random. An ancient force is stirring, and the artifact may be the key to unlocking something far worse."
"When my life takes such a spectacular turn for the worse, my three best friends know the perfect way to cheer me up—a weekend trip to Evening Shade, Oregon.
The movies that shaped my teen years put the quaint little town on the map, making it a tourist destination for werewolf-loving fangirls who want the full movie experience. And I'm a card-holding member of that eccentric fandom.
After copious amounts of alcohol that lead to the revelation of the worst kind of betrayal, I kick my backstabbing ex-best friends out and decide to stay in Evening Shade for the rest of the summer. I have nothing to go back to, so why not?
Enter my new landlord, Trace Bardin, a man thirteen years my senior and the spitting image of Wolf Daddy from—you guessed it—my favorite movie. The downside? Trace hates the comparison, and I make the colossal mistake of howling at him the first time I laid eyes on him. Don't judge. I was kind of drunk at the time.
But if we can get past my little faux-pas and his conviction that I'm far too young for him, we could have the summer of our lives. Then I'll go back to Seattle, pick up the broken pieces of my life, and move on.
Sounds like a solid plan, right? Right."

Does evil lurk in the shadows of the forest or within the human heart? Eduardo Sangarcía's tale of one woman's trial opens the door to deeper horrors.
Anna Thalberg is a villager shunned for her red hair and provocative beauty, so when she is dragged from her home and accused of witchcraft, her neighbors do not intervene. Only Klaus, her husband, and Father Friedrich, a priest experiencing a crisis of faith, set out to Würzburg to prove her innocence. There, locked in a prison tower, Anna faces isolation and torture while anxiety builds over strange happenings within the city walls. Can the two men convince the Church inquisitors to release Anna, or will she burn at the stake?
The Trial of Anna Thalberg is a tale of religious persecution, superstition, and suffering during the Protestant Reformation. While mapping the medieval fear of occultism and demons, it delves into enduring human concerns: the oppression of women, the inhumanity of institutions, and the question of God's existence. Frantic in pace and experimental in form, this is an unforgettable debut from Mexican author Eduardo Sangarcía."
