TROUBLE COMES THIS DAY  When Thia McDaniel's great aunt Lettie sends her a polished crystal sphere and tells her to protect it at all costs, naturally she has some concerns...about the elderly woman's sanity. What else is she to think? Lettie is convinced the innocuous stone holds an otherworldly power which dangerous people will stop at nothing to get.   Unfortunately, Lettie is perfectly sane, and Thia finds herself caught up in a world beyond her imagining. A world of myth and magic, where a secret society seems to hold all the answers, an ancient sorcerer wants her dead, and an enigmatic charmer is either the last man she should trust—or the only one she can.

'TIS THE SEASON FOR REVENGE If asked, Thia McDaniel would say she has more than enough trouble. One: She is the new owner of Eclectica, the most popular gift store in Granite Springs. If the advent of the winter holidays isn’t the busiest shopping time of the year, she doesn’t want to know what is. Two: Not only is magic real, but thanks to the powers she unwittingly received from the Stone of Shadows, it is inside her—and until she learns control, she’ll be a danger to herself and anyone within range. (Which could be everyone.) Three: She hasn’t heard from Cormac. Four: No one has heard from Cassie, either. Five: The Brigantium—despite being plagued with troubles of its own—continues to want her to join its secret ranks. But in the aftermath of betrayal from within, can the group be trusted? And that's before Eclectica’s cafe manager disappears under suspicious circumstances and everything gets so much worse.

The Darkest Midnight (Wheel of the Year)

Finley, R A

The dragons came from beyond the Crystal Mountains, demanding a virgin sacrifice…and Princess Genevieve learns she's it when she's handed a golden token–the mark of the chosen. Genevieve accepts her fate. She must, in order to save her kingdom. But the journey to her final destiny is complicated by the arrival of Chris, a 1970s Berkeley co-ed. To Chris, the whole scenario reeks of deception. Where she comes from, corsets are for burning and virgins are hard to find. She's sure the dragons are out for more than innocent blood, but the only way to find out what they really want is to accompany Genevieve on her journey. Not what she had planned for her freshman year of college. Genevieve is duty-bound–unless Chris is right. Then her sacrifice would mean nothing. Other than woe to those who duped her...
