Book Description
"The Witchkin Murders is a supernatural police procedural with interesting characters who are full of secrets and a plot that is full of twists and turns. A fun read." --Anne Bishop, New York Times bestselling author of Wild Country Four years ago, my world--the world--exploded with wild magic. The cherry on top of that crap cake? The supernatural world declared war on humans, and my life went straight to hell. I used to be a detective, and a damned good one. Then Magicfall happened, and I changed along with the world. I'm witchkin now--something more than human or not quite human, depending on your perspective. To survive, I've become a scavenger, searching abandoned houses and stores for the everyday luxuries in short supply--tampons and peanut butter. Oh, how the mighty have fallen, but anything's better than risking my secret. Except, old habits die hard. When I discover a murder scene screaming with signs of black magic ritual, I know my days of hiding are over. Any chance I had of escaping my past with my secret intact is gone. Solving the witchkin murders is going to be the hardest case of my life, and not just because every second will torture me with reminders of how much I miss my old life and my partner, who hates my guts for abandoning the department. But it's time to suck it up, because if I screw this up, Portland will be wiped out, and I'm not going to let that happen. Hold on to your butts, Portland. Justice is coming, and I don't take prisoners. About the Author: Diana Pharaoh Francis is the acclaimed author of a dozen novels of fantasy and urban fantasy. Her books have been nominated for the Mary Roberts Rinehart Award and RT's Best Urban Fantasy. The Witchkin Murders is the first book in her exciting new urban fantasy series--Magicfall.

Book Description
Welcome back to Diamond City where hell just busted loose. Senator Rice, hater of all things magic, declared martial law following the recent bombings. His goal? Arrest all magic-wielders and take control of the mines. To get what he wants, he doesn't care how many people have to die. How is Riley supposed to stop an army without starting a bigger war? It's going to take deceit, timing, sleight of hand, and a whole lot of luck. To help, she's got her family, friends, and a collection of mobsters, who will probably slide a blade between her ribs the second she turns her back. But beggars can't be choosers, and playing it safe is a losing proposition. Unfortunately, there's more going on than anybody realizes, and the real enemy has yet to show his face. When push comes to shove, can Riley risk sacrificing the people she loves to save a city of people she doesn't even know? Risk her people, her family on a plan almost certainly doomed to fail? For Riley there is really only one choice. What would you choose?

Book Description
Having magic doesn’t guarantee a free ride in life. Especially for a half-blood witch. Dara Martin has a Normal for a mother, so she’ll never really be accepted by the Kin, and a formal education in magic is out of her reach. But when an evil sorcerer snatches her last link to her mother, she has to learn what she can do, and fast. Lending her power to Willem, she unwittingly assists in bringing Krampus and other nasty Christmas spirits to life, and in doing so helps wreak havoc and bloodshed on her hometown. This is a dangerous game, and if the Kin find her print on the wreckage she risks having her magic painfully bound. Forever. But only if she's caught.

Book Description
The Ice King’s wintry grasp. A witch cursed. A deadly Chronicle. Contact with the Crystal Charm Stone caused deep changes in Dara Martin, leaving her with a power so great, it scares even the elders. This only happened once before in the centuries of the Kin’s rule, but the witch Meg’s fate is a secret buried deep in the past. Dara has no idea what her future might hold. Whisked away from Scarp to study under the Venerable Nacthan in Edinburgh, she’s forbidden to practice until the elders can understand her new magic. Yet she knows she now has the resources to rescue her mother from the Ice King’s grasp, if only she knew how to get there from here. A chance meeting leads her into the depths of the Edinburgh Vaults to Auld Meg, who’d been cursed to stone by the Kin to write the most dangerous chronicle of all. If Dara can break the spell and free the crone, she’ll be able to bridge realities to the Ice Kingdom. There’ll be hell to pay with the Kin. But only if she makes it back alive.

Book Description
Leaf bound by Intrif II, a maddened delinquent obsessed with the early Hedonistic Historians, the ancient poem ‘Eyes of a Hawk’ follows the demise of the woeforging, lifedraining, soulsearing Valestian Primacy at the sword-bitten hands of Ilyia, Hawk, and their amassed force. In the final battle abreast the snow laden fields of the Untyal Valley, under the watchful eye of the eternal green emerald-dragon Yggdrasil, the blinding judgment of an eternity is unleashed. Their arduous journey through smouldering conflict simmers over a century, taking Hawk from the petty and poverty-stricken colonial hinterlands of Askilt, along the vivid and blossoming village steeped forests and bird stoked steppe lands of the Shorelands, through to the plague-ridden and flame-stained city of Yeli, before its tragic fall and violent purge. Fighting monsters and giants, demons and despots, aberrations, cultists, soldiers, and tyrants, Hawk in his duties as a member of the Guild is forced to confront the chaos of crises in command. From blackouts to plague-pox, ambushed by assassins, beasts, and climatic tavern fights, the catastrophic fall of the Valestian Primacy is the slow death of an empire founded upon violence and subjugation, sealed, and incinerated, as all are, by a divine, celestial force.
