Book excerpt: Witch Spinners possess the gift of creating conjuring cloths, a revered tool that channels energy two ways instead of one. A user of such a piece wields great power. Larissa North Strondovan's family is one of the remaining few who can create such a fine magical tool, but an old quarrel with the South Hawthorne clave has left her family despised and scattered to different parts of the earth. The discord between the two claves has reverberated to such a degree that the world teeters on the brink of permanent chaos and darkness. With her family in hiding, Larissa has been raised in a loving adopted family and become skilled in witchcraft under the tender tutelage of her aunt, Dorenda, who has taught her in secret. Her peaceful world is disrupted when the governing body of witches names her as the current heir who will help right the old wrong between the families. August South Hawthorne is dismayed to learn he will be Larissa's companion in an urgent quest to determine what happened and return a stolen relic to its rightful owner. Overcoming old prejudices nearly drives August mad. Larissa's cool resolve can only temper their relationship to a certain limit. Trusting each other is nearly impossible. As they travel, their quest slowly unveils into a palpable reality that threatens to overcome their greatest magical abilities. August and Larissa learn certain confounding truths about each other. Behind all their efforts is a dark force working to overturn everything they had formerly trusted and believed.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the acclaimed author of The Flight Attendant: “Historical fiction at its best…. The book is a thriller in structure, and a real page-turner, the ending both unexpected and satisfying” (Diana Gabaldon, bestselling author of the Outlander series, The Washington Post). A young Puritan woman—faithful, resourceful, but afraid of the demons that dog her soul—plots her escape from a violent marriage in this riveting and propulsive novel of historical suspense. Boston, 1662. Mary Deerfield is twenty-four-years-old. Her skin is porcelain, her eyes delft blue, and in England she might have had many suitors. But here in the New World, amid this community of saints, Mary is the second wife of Thomas Deerfield, a man as cruel as he is powerful. When Thomas, prone to drunken rage, drives a three-tined fork into the back of Mary's hand, she resolves that she must divorce him to save her life. But in a world where every neighbor is watching for signs of the devil, a woman like Mary—a woman who harbors secret desires and finds it difficult to tolerate the brazen hypocrisy of so many men in the colony—soon becomes herself the object of suspicion and rumor. When tainted objects are discovered buried in Mary's garden, when a boy she has treated with herbs and simples dies, and when their servant girl runs screaming in fright from her home, Mary must fight to not only escape her marriage, but also the gallows. A twisting, tightly plotted novel of historical suspense from one of our greatest storytellers, Hour of the Witch is a timely and terrifying story of socially sanctioned brutality and the original American witch hunt.

Download or read book Spinning Wheels written by Frank Buxton and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-03-14 with total page 698 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This story opens in the early nineteen sixties, at a fictional isolated Catholic Convent somewhere in North Wales. As the story gently unfolds, the main characters honestly start to consider the foundations, and tribal marking of organised religion, especially of their own. (Devout Christians will find this book to be a very challenging read.) Calmly they each discard their belief that Christ was the only Son of God. Christ's message however; 'love Thy neighbour as Thyself' is happily acknowledged as the only way of ensuring the continuing survival of the Human Race. Weaving around this main theme are several honest, if rather robust, love stories. At appropriate points, the debilitating effect of loneliness is sympathetically portrayed, and arguments against committing suicide are also presented. Kirkus reviews: - An engaging tale. The story is strong and the erotica is nicely balanced by the humanity of the characters

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Xanthe meets Paula Brackston's most famous heroine, Elizabeth Hawksmith from The Witch's Daughter, in this crossover story with all the "historical detail, village charm, and twisty plotting" of the Found Things series (Publishers Weekly). City of Time and Magic sees Xanthe face her greatest challenges yet. She must choose from three treasures that sing to her; a beautiful writing slope, a mourning brooch of heartbreaking detail, and a gorgeous gem-set hat pin. All call her, but the wrong one could take her on a mission other than that which she must address first, and the stakes could not be higher. While her earlier mission to Regency England had been a success, the journey home resulted in Liam being taken from her, spirited away to another time and place. Xanthe must follow the treasure that will take her to him if he is not to be lost forever. Xanthe is certain that Mistress Flyte has Liam and determined to find them both. But when she discovers Lydia Flyte has been tracking the actions of the Visionary Society, a group of ruthless and unscrupulous Spinners who have been selling their talents to a club of wealthy clients, Xanthe realizes her work as a Spinner must come before her personal wishes. The Visionary Society is highly dangerous and directly opposed to the creed of the Spinners. Their actions could have disastrous consequences as they alter the authentic order of things and change the future. Xanthe knows she must take on the Society. It will require the skills of all her friends, old and new, to attempt such a thing, and not all of them will survive the confrontation that follows.
