It’s trapped in ancient texts and artifacts, and only a few who discover it survive to fight back. Detective Sal Brooks is a survivor. She joins a Vatican-backed black-ops anti-magic squad—Team Three of the Societas Librorum Occultorum—and together they stand between humanity and the magical apocalypse. Some call them the Bookburners. They don’t like the label. Supernatural meets The Da Vinci Code in a fast-paced, kickass character driven novel chock-full of magic, mystery, and mayhem, written collaboratively by a team of some of the best writers working in fantasy.

Every year since 1990 Burners descend on a dry,dusty lake bed in the high desert of northern Nevada.The first year consisted of a group of 350 from the San Francisco bay area. By 2016, 70,000 burners from all over the world gathered to participate in a sensual week of adventure, discovery, alternative communities, fun, creativity and spirituality.In this harsh physical environment, Burners create a culture of creativity and acceptance. The feelings that emerge from the experience range from the pleasure of being incarnate, through tears of pain and joy, to expressions that uncover aspects of the soul. The Burning Man experience often produces subtle to profound changes in its participants. Its Ten Principles promote openness and acceptance of the diversity of the human experience.But Burners is not about Burning Man. Made over a nine year period, Burners is a visual portrayal of the diverse people participating in the Burning Man event. The images in Burners reveal not only the diversity of the participants, but the diversity of the human response to unconditional acceptance. I am honored by their trust in me.

Little is at it seems on the high seas when a magical book wreaks havoc on a luxury yacht. The Team saves on flight costs as the newest mystery happens around the corner. A tip from a local antiquarian doesn’t make it to the Team in time and they are left with a once-bookstore-now-rubble-pile, a missing magical tome, and very few clues beyond a helpful tour guide (one might even say too helpful . . .). Tracking the missing book to a luxury yacht, the Team gets less of the high-end boating experience and more of the demon-on-the-loose nightmare. All aboard the Fair Weather; but no smooth sailing ahead. This episode is brought to you by team-writer Margaret Dunlap and introduces readers (and our heroine) to not only the true dangers of Bookburning, but to mysterious secrets even cloudier than the Societas Librium Occultorum.

This is the 3rd episode in the third season of Bookburners, a 13-episode serial from Serial Box Publishing. This episode written by Andrea Phillips. Magic is real . . . and hungry. The annual invitation to the Market Arcanum arrives, but with Asanti barred from fieldwork, Liam recovering from injuries, and Father Menchú feeling strained after meeting Hannah, it falls to Sal to attend. She's joined by Grace, pitching in from Team One as backup. Before they leave, though, Asanti tasks them with completing a trade she's set up . . . and warns that there will be dire consequences if it's not completed. Things have changed for the Vatican's magic-fighting Team Three: their forces are depleted, and internal rifts are coming close to tearing this close-knit group apart. But some things never change. Magic still threatens to overwhelm our world, and when a startling appearance from Menchú's past reveals new dimensions to this danger, the team will have to reassess their loyalties-to their jobs, their beliefs, and even to each other.
