Book Description
Books 4-6 in Tony Lewis's Skullenia series, now available in one volume! The Quest for the Bone Idol: Ollie and the boys need a break from the detective agency, so when Stitches wins a competition at The Bolt and Jugular, it seems that fate may be finally smiling down on them. But But what should have been a relaxing cruise turns into a voyage of intrigue and mayhem on the high seas, when our intrepid explorers find themselves entangled in yet another mystery involving a strange relic, a dangerous foe, and a rather bawdy crew of pirates with interesting beards. A Witch in Time: Despite it being slightly more fun than a visit to a 12th century dentist, Stitches doesn't want to go Mrs. Ladle's game night. Tonight, she has promised them something special: a game that hasn't been played for a very long time. One that's bound to make the evening fly by and take them to an adventure packed full of derring-do and never-before chronicled acts of heroism and bravery. Intensive Scare: A psychic message, a portly medium, missing residents and a strange glow can only mean one thing: something is happening in Skullenia, and it's down to Ollie and the gang to sort it out. With the help of Deirdre Clownpuncher, the boys try to find out where everyone's gone before they disappear forever. Our heroes must employ all of their guts and guile to follow the clues which, seeing as they don't actually have any guts and guile, means they'll be relying on other people as usual.

Book Description
Home. Kaishi never thought she'd see it again, and now it's surrounded by the aliens that want to enslave her people. Kaishi thought she'd found salvation at the hands of an alien that'd crashed down from the sky. Instead, she's been torn through danger and disaster while bringing the galaxy's war to Earth. Now Kaishi has to take what she's learned and try to keep humanity alive while desperate armies descend into a last-ditch battle for survival. Winning this war will mean more than kicking the creatures off Earth, though. Kaishi must gather what friends she has and get support from the galaxy's other powers to destroy the invaders, but such support comes with a dire cost. Kaishi must decide, for Earth, her friends and family, whether a life lived under subjugation from the galaxy's powers is a life worth living at all. And, if it's not, how she can fight her way to freedom. Galaxy War contains The Skyward Saga's last three novels and a prequel short story, an action-packed bundle that brings Kaishi's story to a thrilling conclusion. If you're looking to finish this science fiction epic, grab Galaxy War today and settle in to a tale you won't be able to put down.

Pages : 0
Book Description
Zofia Trickenbod is a sorceress from another planet living here on modern day Earth (which leads to a lot of lying). She's trying to keep the Stone of Irdisi (the most powerful magical implement from her world, which she is the current keeper), out of the hands of the ex-Dark Lord Vesselvod Blood's grasp, risking life and better judgment in order to do so. Blood wants the Stone so as to become all-powerful again (what's up with these dark lords anyway?). For the past five years, Dorian, her husband has been thought to be dead. So when he returns as an "undead" Zofia is a bit miffed (more than mildly), at him for not getting word to her so that she wouldn't try and make a new life for herself on this strange planet where she and her off-spring can't practice magic in the open (and where a nosy neighbor calls in the police if she so much as sneezes). But after a while she gets used to Dorian being a vampire. In fact, he's quite good at it, along with being something of a scoundrel. But he needs his powers back, which means he has to become human again. Zofia and her Aunt Tillie team up to find a spell and potion that can return him back to the living. But before they can give it to him, he becomes a prime suspect in a murder investigation, and is put in jail. Her cop boyfriend (yes, her life is just full of crazy events), Richard, finds it difficult to accept that Zofia's husband just happened to return after she'd told him he was dead. So, when Dorian disappears from his jail, Richard is determined to find him and stalks Zofia, and searches her house. Not to forget our mythical creature, the black unicorn, which is spotted early on-a warning that Blood is in the vicinity, as the creature goes where he goes, hoping to get his white coat back. This causes alarm in the family. Meanwhile, the unicorn becomes infatuated with Zofia's 16-year old daughter, Blanche. When nosy neighbor, Lolly, spots the animal, it's just another excuse for her to call the police. Did I mention the men in Zofia's life? The list is as follows: her husband, Dorian who is now vampire puts the moves on her; Richard, cop and now ex-boyfriend who makes things complicated; an amorous demon, Erebus, who wants something in return for her son's soul (bet you can't guess what), and the part-god/wizard, Stephen, who has the hots for her, and she resists the best she can. A light fantasy with adult themes that might remind one of the TV show Bewitched, but it has it's own brand of humor, spell casting and adventure.
