After the capture and daring rescue of her teammate—bullets flying—Diana Sheen is focusing on a new mission. Push back the cult emerging around Rhazdon artifacts. The legacy of the half-Atlantean's magic is a dark and ancient magic that must be collected and hidden away forever—from everyone. Kevin Serrano has the same idea with a twist. He wants to shepherd the powerful artifacts while gunning for Diana and her team. Talk about twisted. Even the Army wants the artifacts to create magical super-soldiers. Leira Berens beat that idea back before. Can Diana and her crew do the same?

Special agent Mia Shields thinks she's seen it all. But nothing prepares her for the terror that descends upon the idyllic bayside community of St. Dennis, Maryland, where a depraved killer has left a grisly surprise for Chief of Police Gabriel Beck: the body of an unidentified woman, naked and completely encased in plastic wrap, stretched across the back seat of Beck's car. Hidden in the wrapping is a tape recording of the victim's last, gasping words. Soon the body count begins to rise as more victims are found, all gruesomely cocooned, their final pleas also captured on tape.

Diana Sheen's worst fear has come to pass. The government agency chasing her has taken one of her people prisoner. Now all her team's secrets are at risk, and all their lives are on the line. Will the captive give up the location of their new base? The outcast team's plans to take on the hidden darkness within the government? Or their new mission against the Rhazdon-artifact cult? One thing is certain. Diana can't let a friend remain in enemy hands for long, or it's all over. Including the creation of the magical network that is Rath the troll's current obsession.

News that the body of a recently murdered prostitute—stabbed repeatedly and dumped on Georgia's Shelter Island—has been identified as Shannon Randall stuns the FBI, particularly special agent Dorsey Collins. Twenty-four years ago, nineteen-year-old Eric Louis Beale was convicted and later executed for Shannon's murder—and the agent in charge of the case was Dorsey's father. Now Dorsey is determined to find out where her father's investigation went wrong, what part he played in the death of an innocent man, and where Shannon has been all this time.

The loss of their base and most of their equipment was a staggering blow. But Diana Sheen dealt with it with a troll by her side. No more running. Time to turn around and fire back. Individuals corrupted by Rhazdon Artifacts was one thing. Finding out that a cult has risen around the powerful magic items is another. Dark times for the former Federal Agents of Magic, officially declared Rogue. There's only one way to deal with dark times. Light them up with magical fire. Diana's team is on the case.

I had my whole life planned out—until, that is, my husband of 28 years dropped a bombshell on me. At a mall food court, no less. Now that I’m going through a decidedly unplanned divorce, the one place I want to be is my family’s theme park in Gallows Bay. Don't get the wrong idea, it's not the happiest place on Earth (TM). But it does have something special that sets it apart: magic. Real. Magic.

If there was one thing I'd learned over the last few months, it was that absolutely nothing lasted forever. Which was probably why I'd been so surprised when Hunter announced he was staying in Portland. I couldn't help but think, and hope, that it had something to do with me, a 40-year-old divorcee who was half witch and half fae.

After I'd found my Elven grandfather, Laslow, and brought him back to the human world, I was convinced that my life was on the upswing. Things with Hunter were good. Grams and mom were happy. And it seemed all the fires in my life had been put out. I could've left well enough alone...but I still had lingering questions about the hate between the fae and the witches. They say knowing your history can give you the tools to shape your future. But when you creep into the past, you're bound to find things you don't like.

Life's a witch, and then you die. Unless you're me. One hundred forty years in, my body won't quit. Sure, I'm slower than I used to be, and I can't complete a simple task without setting off a chain reaction of pain in my joints. But my heart keeps on ticking. Immortality is my curse. It's also my greatest blessing.

There is never a good time for a witch to lose her powers. But to lose your magic just when you and your friends need it to survive might be the worst timing of all. But even in her despair, Torie Bliss has noticed some strange goings-on in Singing Falls. The supernatural community seems to be at war with itself, and the human inhabitants of the community are not exactly acting like normal humans. Without her powers Torie is at a loss as to how she can help them. But there is one person who may be able to help her.

After a two-decade marriage ends with my husband's disappearance, I'm left to wonder: Did he run off with another woman? Or is he dead? And which one is worse? Before I can answer that, I turn into a chicken. A real one. The kind that fears KFC. I want nothing to do with Marshmallow's magic community, but somehow, I keep getting pulled into its drama. There are only two choices - keep hiding from the new reality of my life or embrace the weird, the magic, and the feathers.

Stephanie Drake and her three children were glad to be alive after a sudden storm slammed their boat onto an uncharted island, but it’s not where they think. They found themselves in another world, frozen in time. For more than 3,000 years, the magical island of Avalon remained hidden from the outside world. It was a place of eternal magic, where the descendants of King Arthur ruled over a land filled with magical creatures, wizards, Elves, Dwarves, and dragons. On Avalon, Stephanie and her children were being hunted by bounty hunters, thieves and brigands.

Scrapbooking is magic, and so am I. Or at least I would be, if I could take a freaking nap already. What kind of dream witch can't even make herself fall asleep? A tired witch. A middle-aged, raising-her-teenage-son-alone witch. I'm supposed to keep the magic world a secret. I'm supposed to dream the future. But supposed-tos are for suckers. At 41, I'm done with doubt. And I'm not about to let anyone else tell me what I can or can't do.

Three months after her husband's death in 1969, Rosalee Linoff is determined to jump back into life.

But Rosalee's joy with her children, especially her granddaughter, Jill, eats at Fran, a constant reminder of her childlessness.

Torie Bliss had accepted the gifts that were bestowed on witches of her lineage. Gifts that manifested themselves after her 40th birthday. Gifts that had come in handy when trying to solve the case of a supernatural serial killer. Now, all she wanted was to settle down in the scenic, mountain-side town of Singing Falls. And maybe get to know a certain werewolf that seems to have developed a thing for her. But a knock at her door forces her to deal with someone from her past. Someone that is opening Torie's world up to a whole new level of danger and darkness.

Emily is juggling college with the opening up of a new server for the space battle game PlanetCrash. Not only is the game itself exciting but there is a way to make money from it. Despite loving the role of a marine, able to take on a variety of enemies, from space pirates to aliens, Emily finds that her new group of teammates are leading her into dubious moral territory.

Over 100 years ago, a group of witches escaping a second wave of Witch Trials made their way from New England to Whitewater, Wisconsin, known as Second Salem. Others, seeking knowledge in spiritualism and the occult, also made their way to the city and, through their ignorance, unleashed an evil entity poised to destroy the city. Three sisters, the Willoughby Witches, created an incantation strong enough to ensnare the demon.

The interwoven tales of three women unfold in the voices of Sarah, Miriam, and Beth, whose unshakable friendship takes root in a Buffalo college dorm in the late 1960s. Fueled by the optimism and bravado of that era, they charge into adulthood with high expectations and lofty ideas. They were, as Beth would later observe, the first generation of women to feel entitled to interesting lives. At times, they find themselves living long distances from each other as each of them seeks new directions and new locales. Nonetheless, they remain deeply connected in the decades after college.
