"In this multiperspective fantasy, an apprentice witch is invited to join a powerful group of young witches, each with distinct powers and pasts, and together they try to stop a curse that plagues their town." - The New York Times The Haunting Season is here and the wolves are awake... Haelsford, Florida is a Hellmouth. Or at least, that's what Logan, a young witch struggling to control her powers, thinks as she arrives to begin the new school year at Mesmortes Coven Academy. She is immediately taken under the wing of the infamous Red Three. Iris is a deathwitch who wants nothing more than to break the town's curse; Jailah is one of the most powerful witches at the academy but her thirst for power may lead her down a dark path; and Thalia, the talented greenwitch, is on the run from her religious family and a past that still haunts her. Fear and prejudice still fuel the uneasy truce between humans and witches who are forced to work together when the Haunting Season begins and Wolves rise from the swamp to feed. With this approaching, two local boys prepare to make their first sacrifices to the witches in exchange for protection. But as they become involved with the witches' plan to end the Wolves' reign of terror once and for all, old dangers lie in wait. The cost to break the curse may be greater than any witch or human could ever know...

At home, she cares for her absentminded widowed mother. At school, kids bully her for mixing up reality with the magical stories her mother used to tell her. But then a terrifying death hag straight out of those stories attacks Momo in a very real way - and she's rescued by a talking fox, calling himself Niko. So it's fair to say all hopes for normalcy are now long gone . . . Turns out Momo's mom has been keeping a pretty big secret - she's actually a Shinto goddess, who used to protect a passageway to Yomi, also known as the land of the dead. That passageway is now under attack, making Momo's mom gravely ill, and meaning countless evil spirits are threatening to escape and destroy humanity. And on top of that, Momo is the only one who can stop them. Joined by Niko and Danny, Momo's former best friend - whom she never planned to speak to again, much less save the world with - Momo must embrace her identity as half-human, half-goddess to unlock her divine powers, save her mother's life, force the demons back to Yomi - and save the world while she's at it.

"The Imaginarium Geographica "What is it?" John asked. The little man blinked and arched an eyebrow. "It is the world, my boy," he said. "All the world, in ink and blood, vellum and parchment, leather and hide. It is the world, and it is yours to save or lose."" An unusual murder brings together three strangers, John, Jack, and Charles, on a rainy night in London during the first World War. An eccentric little man called Bert tells them that they are now the caretakers of the Imaginarium Geographica -- an atlas of all the lands that have ever existed in myth and legend, fable and fairy tale. These lands, Bert claims, can be traveled to in his ship the "Indigo Dragon," one of only seven vessels that is able to cross the Frontier between worlds into the Archipelago of Dreams. Pursued by strange and terrifying creatures, the companions flee London aboard the Dragonship. Traveling to the very realm of the imagination itself, they must learn to overcome their fears and trust in one another if they are to defeat the dark forces that threaten the destiny of two worlds. And in the process, they will share a great adventure filled with clues that lead readers to the surprise revelation of the legendary storytellers these men will one day become. An extraordinary journey of myth, magic, and mystery, "Here, There Be Dragons" introduces James A. Owen as a formidable new talent.
