A chaque génération, sa Tueuse. Sans elle, les vampires n'auraient pas d'ennemi à leur taille et submergeraient le monde. Aujourd'hui, c'est Buffy... Nouvelle au lycée de Sunnydale, Buffy espère oublier les expériences traumatisantes vécues dans son ancienne école. En un mot, elle en a ras-le-bol des vampires! Mais si elle croit en avoir fini avec eux, les monstres n'en ont pas terminé avec elle. A Sunnydale, un lieu chargé d'énergie maléfique, se prépare la Moisson, nuit terrifiante où le Maître des vampires peut se libérer de sa prison et semer la terreur dans notre monde. Volontaire ou pas, Buffy va devoir reprendre du service !

L'orage déchira le ciel noir. Un coup de tonnerre éclata, suivi par un éclair. La tempête déferlait sur Manhattan avec une fureur majestueuse. Wren sentit l'énergie gonfler en elle, déborder, l'entraîner... Se concentrer. S'enraciner. Attendre le tonnerre. Alors seulement, tendre le bras... C'était comme glisser un doigt mouillé dans une prise électrique, comme dévaler en roue libre des montagnes russes. Une puissance brute envahit son corps. Contrôle-toi, concentre-toi... Entre douleur et joie, Wren aspira l'énergie, la contraignit à obéir. L'énergie se rebella, résista, mais Wren tint bon. Le Courant se soumit à sa volonté... "Comment fais-tu ça ?" demanda Sergueï, partagé entre l'émerveillement et l'irritation. Wren sourit en entendant la voix de son associé. Tout au long de la séance, elle avait senti sa présence à l'arrière-plan de son esprit. Il posa sur ses épaules mouillées de pluie sa veste sèche, et elle savoura la chaleur, le sentiment de sécurité qui en émanait. Elle respira son parfum - mélange de peau et de Cologne épicée qu'elle aurait reconnu au milieu d'une foule. Le bonheur était là, attendant patiemment. Comme l'énergie qu'elle sentait bourdonner en son centre...

On the eve of the Quest for the Holy Grail, every adult in King Arthur's castle falls into an enchanted sleep. The future of Camelot rests on the shoulders of fourteen-year-old squire Gerard, who has dreamed of becoming a Knight of the Round Table his whole life. With the help of Newt, the stable boy, and Ailis, a young maidservant, he must face terrible dangers, including a monstrous bridge troll, a wise and scheming dragon—and finally, a dark, powerful force that will stop at nothing to destroy King Arthur, the knights, and the entire realm of Camelot.

Welcome to P.U.P.I.—Private, Unaffiliated, Paranormal Investigations

A handpicked team trained to solve crimes the regular police can't touch—crimes of magic.

My name's Bonnie Torres. Recent college grad, magic user and severely unemployed. Until I got a call out of nowhere to interview for a job I hadn't applied for. It smelled fishy, but the brutal truth was I needed the work—so off I went.

Two days later I'm a PUPI—me and Nick, Sharon, Nifty and Pietr. Five twentysomethings, thrown into an entirely new career in forensic magic.

The first job we get is a doozy: proving that the deaths of two Talents were murder, not suicide. Worse, there are high-profile people who want us to close up shop and go away. We're sniffing out things they'd rather keep buried.

Looks as if this job is gonna get interesting. The only problem is, we're making it up as we go along…

Miles to Go and Promises to Keep introduce Danny Hendrickson: Human mother, faun father, 100% Attitude. For the most part, he’s made his own way, first as a member of the NYPD and then – when they started looking too closely at non-humans in the force – as a private investigator, straddling the line between human and fatae (supernatural) in his job the way he does in his life

He has a good life, he has good friends, he makes a difference… But he also has a dangerous life. And sometimes – when you’re in the middle of magic - good friends aren’t enough.

Miles to Go: It's an ordinary day, another ordinary - for Danny - job, when he's approached by a young woman who has information he needs to solve a case. All she wants to do is help. When a life - or more - are on the line, it's hard to turn that down. But the cost of that information will change Danny's life...forever.

[these stories take place after the events of DRAGON JUSTICE (PSI #4) but stand alone]

A heroic fantasy by an award-winning author about a young woman who is trained in the art of the sinister hand of magic, but at what price?

Isobelle, upon her sixteenth birthday, makes the choice to work for the devil in his territory west of the Mississippi. But this is not the devil you know. This is a being who deals fairly with immense—but not unlimited—power, who offers opportunities to people who want to make a deal, and they always get what they deserve. But his land is a wild west that needs a human touch, and that’s where Izzy comes in. Inadvertently trained by him to see the clues in and manipulations of human desire, Izzy is raised to be his left hand and travel circuit through the territory. As we all know, where there is magic there is chaos…and death.

"He has been taken. And you are his only chance."

That wasn't something Jan expected to hear--especially from strangers who'd just rescued her from some mysterious and ferocious creatures. And she really hadn't expected her rescuers to be shape-shifters....

Now it turns out her boyfriend, Tyler, hasn't gone missing, he's been stolen--and Jan's the only one who might be able to get him back.

From Elfland.

Yeah, Jan's pretty sure the entire world's gone crazy. Even if the shifters claim that the naturals (like her) and the supernaturals (like them) belong in this world...but the preternaturals, what humans call elves, don't. And they've found a portal into our world. A doorway they can use to infiltrate, to take, to conquer.

And now Jan's not just Ty's only hope--she's got to rescue humanity, as well...

From acclaimed bestselling author Laura Anne Gilman comes a unique and enthralling new story of fantasy and adventure, wine and magic, danger and hope....

Once, all power in the Vin Lands was held by the prince-mages, who alone could craft spellwines, and selfishly used them to increase their own wealth and influence. But their abuse of power caused a demigod to break the Vine, shattering the power of the mages. Now, fourteen centuries later, it is the humble Vinearts who hold the secret of crafting spells from wines, the source of magic, and they are prohibited from holding power.

But now rumors come of a new darkness rising in the vineyards. Strange, terrifying creatures, sudden plagues, and mysterious disappearances threaten the land. Only one Vineart senses the danger, and he has only one weapon to use against it: a young slave. His name is Jerzy, and his origins are unknown, even to him. Yet his uncanny sense of the Vinearts' craft offers a hint of greater magics within — magics that his Master, the Vineart Malech, must cultivate and grow. But time is running out. If Malech cannot teach his new apprentice the secrets of the spellwines, and if Jerzy cannot master his own untapped powers, the Vin Lands shall surely be destroyed.

In Flesh and Fire, first in a spellbinding new trilogy, Laura Anne Gilman conjures a story as powerful as magic itself, as intoxicating as the finest of wines, and as timeless as the greatest legends ever told.
