Janessa Miro has one rule: keep the wards intact and the drinks flowing. As The Spot’s resident wardwright and bartender, she keeps Chicago’s most notorious cross-dimensional speakeasy stitched together with duct tape, sarcasm, and sigilcraft. But when a ley line flickers and a Whisperbind blooms through the anchor wards, it isn’t sabotage—it’s personal. Someone has forged her magical style, infected the bar’s foundation, and tied the corruption to her blood. Now the Magus Arcanum is circling. The Faerie Courts are listening. And former mentor turned heretic Marlowe Finch is orchestrating something beneath the city in a cathedral called the Hollow Chord. As ancient runes begin surfacing across Chicago, Janessa discovers the attack against The Spot is only the first fracture in something far older than the Arcanum wants to admit. The magic inside her isn’t behaving like a curse. It’s remembering. With fellow wardwright Callum Shaw, Grimalkin thief Lysandra Vex, and dimension-folding barkeep Eddie Ramirez at her side, Janessa races to stop the Seal beneath The Spot from unraveling before Chicago becomes the center of a supernatural collapse. Because every lock has a cost. Every curse leaves a mark. And some curses don’t bind you—they build you. [Read More]

by Zach Erwin

Tropes: mystery, horror, urbanfantasy

Raymond Chandler meets early 1960s Marvel Comics. When a god is murdered in front of Private Investigator Skip Gibson, he finds himself at the heart of a storm brewing in Empire City, especially since the victim was Skip's best lead in the disappearance of a brilliant rocket scientist tied to the U.S. space program. Now, with the other gods turning vengeful and the city on the brink, Skip is pulled into Empire's shadowy depths. A secretive cult, mass graves hidden beneath the streets, and a conspiracy decades in the making threaten to consume everything in their path. With divine wrath tearing the city apart, Skip must rely on a patchwork crew of unlikely allies to uncover the truth, stop the chaos, and stay alive long enough to connect the cosmic dots. In a world where gods bleed and mortals dare to dig too deep, solving the case might be the only way to save what's left of Empire City. [Read More]

Step into a world where fate howls, love burns, and freedom is worth fighting for. Kapri Stroud came to Fenris Hollow to escape the noise of her old life. But in the haunted Appalachian Mountains, silence has teeth, the woods remember ancient secrets, and the one thing she never meant to find is the one thing she cannot resist. Jack. Wounded, as dangerous as he is attractive, and bound to the Ashguard Clan by blood, ancient Norse magic, and the Wolf Spirit, Jack should terrify her. Instead, every look from his golden eyes pulls Kapri closer to a truth no fear can bury: some hearts choose long before the mind can stop them. As ancient clans rise and enemies close in, the Wolf Spirits awaken—not as monsters, but as sacred gifts of strength, courage, sacrifice, and love.
