A simple mission … with twists and meanders that capture his heart and divert his destiny. The stunning conclusion to Mage Everand’s mission — the fast-paced twists will have readers gasping at every turn. All Everand wants to do is finish the mission so he can be left in peace with the delectable Lamiya. How hard can it be? But Everand and Lamiya face the rampant half-mage Malach, the might of the Mages’ Guild, a ruthless Mage Pelamis seeking power and, the biggest threat of all, the ancient and furious red dragon Akachi. Bound to an epic and fraught new task, Everand must recover the magnificent stone of power, the Staropal, from his Mages’ Guild and return it to the fearsome red dragon. A past wrong would be righted, but to do so he must betray the Guild and his beloved master, the ailing Mage Mantiss. With her province and people threatened, Lamiya’s determination and mystical abilities magnify until she is a force even mages should not reckon with. With the feisty, sassy Lamiya beside him every step of the way, Everand tackles the impossible. Supported by a team of loyal paddlers, they set out to make paddling history and lay the foundation for a new Ossilis. Paddles up for some choppy water!

Author: K. E. Mills
Publisher: Orbit
ISBN: 0316207756
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 1039
Book Description
BOOK 1: THE ACCIDENTAL SORCERER Gerald Dunwoody is a wizard. Just not a particularly good one. He's blown up a factory, lost his job, and there's a chance that he's not really a Third Grade wizard after all. So it's off to New Ottosland to be the new Court Wizard for King Lional. It's a shame that King Lional isn't the vain, self-centered young man he appeared to be. With a Princess in danger, a talking bird who can't stay out of trouble, and a kingdom to save, Gerald soon suspects that he might be out of his depth. And if he can't keep this job, how will he ever become the wizard he was destined to be. . . BOOK 2: WITCHES INCORPORATED It's a case of espionage, skullduggery and serious unpleasantness And it's also Gerald's first official government assignment. He's hunting down a deadly saboteur, and time is quickly running out. Old enemies and new combine forces to thwart him. Once again, innocent lives are on the line. He needs his friends. He can't do this alone. But Princess Melissande and Reg have troubles of their own. With the help of Monk Markham's brilliant, beautiful sister, they've opened a one-stop-shop witching locum agency, where magical problems are solved for a price. Problem is, the girls are struggling to keep the business afloat. Things are looking grim for Witches Incorporated -- and that's before they accidentally cross paths with Gerald's saboteur. Suddenly everybody's lives are on the line and Gerald realizes, too late, that there's a reason government agents aren't supposed to have friends. . . BOOK 3: Wizard Squared When the staff of Witches Incorporated receive a visitor from an alternate reality, they are shocked to learn that life in the parallel world next door is anything but a bed of roses. . . and it's all because of Gerald Dunwoody. At a crucial moment in time, their Gerald turned left. . . but the alternate reality Gerald turned right. Now the parallel world next door is in the grip of terror, staring down the barrel of a thaumaturgical war -- a war that threatens to spill across the dimensions and plunge every reality into a nightmare. The only person who can stop a rogue wizard gone mad is another rogue wizard. But what do you do when another rogue wizard can't be found?

What the Fang?
Author: Jo-Ann Carson
Publisher: JRT Publications
ISBN: 1989031536
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 90
Book Description
Who is stupid enough to pick on my vampires? When a thief snatched the fang of one of my students, I had to stop them. Think about it. What’s a vampire without a fang? My name is Rebel Black. I’m the book-nerd-witch who runs Fangsters, the notorious school for delinquent, teenaged, night stalkers, housed in a Victorian bordello in Mystic Keep. It’s a small town in the Pacific Northwest that looks picturesque and innocent, but my academy, filled with secrets, and more than its share of murders has been listed in the Supernatural Gazette as a ten on the Creepy Richter scale. Trust me, I didn’t choose this job. I’m being blackmailed by one of the most powerful vampires in all the realms, and until I devise a spell strong enough to stop him cold, I must do his bidding. But to be honest, teaching predators hasn’t turned out to be as bad as you might expect. There’s never a dull moment in the house of the rising dead. What can I say—predators grow on you. Take Onyx, my head of security, for an example. He’s a bit on the Dracula-gloomy side, but he’s also breath-takingly handsome, and his deadly-dry wit keeps things lively. Unfortunately, when I got the news about the stolen fang, Onyx was nowhere to be found. I suspect his disappearance has something to do with our lover’s fight, but I can’t worry about that right now. I must solve this tooth mess. No one steals from my bloodsuckers. Will I find the Fang Hunter before more of my students lose their choppers? If I fail, and Fangsters is forced to close its doors, will my blackmailer carry out his threat and reveal my secret? What the Fang is the fourth book in Fangsters, Jo-Ann Carson’s Supernatural Suspense series. Witches, warlocks, werewolves, and monsters of all stripes are featured. It’s a fast-paced mystery, with a slow-burn romance, and an edge of humor designed to entertain you. It can easily be read as a standalone.

The Gay Male Sleuth in Print and Film
Author: Drewey Wayne Gunn
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 0810885883
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 443
Book Description
In The Gay Male Sleuth in Print and Film (2005), scholar Drewey Wayne Gunn examined the history of gay detectives beginning with the first recognized gay novel, The Heart in Exile, which appeared in 1953. In the years since the original edition's publication, hundreds of novels and short stories in this sub-genre have been produced, and Gunn has unearthed many additional representations previously unrecorded. In this new edition, Gunn provides an overview of milestones in the development of gay detectives over the last several decades. Also included in this volume is an annotated list of novels, short stories, plays, graphic novels, comic strips, films, and television series with gay detectives, gay sleuths of secondary importance, and non-sleuthing gay policemen. The most complete listing available--including the only listing of early gay pulp novels, present-day male-to-male romances, and erotic films--this new edition brings the work up to date with publications missed in the first edition, particularly cross-genre mysteries, early pulps, and some hard-to-find volumes. The Gay Male Sleuth in Print and Film: A History and Annotated Bibliography lists all printed works in English (including translations) presently known to include gay detectives (such as amateur sleuths, police detectives, private investigators, and investigative reporters), from the 1929 play Rope until the present day. It includes all films in English, subtitled or dubbed, from the screen version of Rope in 1948 and the launch of the independent film Spy on the Fly in 1966 through the end of 2011. Complete with two appendices--a bibliography of sources and a list of Lambda Literary Awards--and indexes of titles, detectives, and actors, this extensively revised and updated reference will prove invaluable to mystery collectors, researchers, aficionados of the subgenre, and those devoted to GLBTQ studies.
