Prospero, the sorcerer on whose island of exile William Shakespeare set his play, The Tempest, has endured these past many centuries. His daughter Miranda runs the family business, Prospero, Inc. so smoothly that the vast majority of humanity has no idea that the Prosperos’ magic has protected Earth from numerous disasters. But Prospero himself has been kidnapped by demons from Hell, and Miranda, aided by her siblings, has followed her father into Hell to save him from a certain doom at the hands of vengeful demons. Time is running out for Miranda, and for the great magician himself. Their battle against the most terrifying forces of the Pit is a great fantasy adventure.

Prospero Regained: Prospero's Daughter, Book III

The magician Prospero's daughter Miranda has, like her father, been alive for hundreds of years, since Shakespeare chronicled their early fortunes in The Tempest.For centuries, Miranda has run Prospero Inc., a company that, unbeknownst to the general public, has protected the world from disasters natural, magical, and man-made. But her father has been kidnapped, and is being held by vengeful demons in Hell who wish to reclaim the Prosperos' seven magical staffs, which Prospero himself procured from King Solomon centuries ago. Only Miranda, if she can win the cooperation of her contentious, idiosyncratic younger siblings, can survive the perils of Hell and save their famous father before he is mired forever in the lower realm. Fighting the supernatural terrors of Hell―as well as one another―Miranda and her family will be tested in more ways than they can imagine before this journey through Hell is done.

Wisecraft Publishing

It’s Halloween at the Roanoke Academy for the Sorcerous Arts, and Rachel Griffin is stirring up the dead! All her life, Rachel has wanted to visit Beaumont Castle in the kingdom of Transylvania, the last known location of her hero, librarian-adventurer “Daring” Northwest. Only falling out of the land of dreams onto her face was not how she had expected to arrive. Now, the castle is right there, looming over her. Only her best friend, the Princess of Magical Australia does not want to go in, so as to avoid an international incident. But what if the castle holds some clue as to her hero’s final fate? And who was that mysterious figure hanging by the neck she glimpsed in the dreamlands, just before she fell. Could the Dead Men’s Ball, where the spooks and ghosts of the Hudson Highland gather once a year on Halloween to dance to the music of some very unexpected musicians, be the key to discovering the hanged man’s identity?
