Regina Lyons is an artist. She's also a witch, but that's not important. Witchcraft is what she was born into; art is what consumes her focus, her life, and her heart. She has no time for dating, but she'll spare just a little to help her friends with an infestation of magic pests. Cora Pagett flies in from her London home to the US, where an old friend of hers has asked for her help with a fae problem. She expects a speedy resolution and her usual travel entertainment: some fun in the museums, restaurants, and maybe girls of the area. When they meet, sparks fly in all the best ways. Neither expects the sparks to catch fire—and then billow into a flame that threatens to consume both of their lives.

A new evil is born. The Ebon Cities have created a deadly new breed of undead called the Witchborn, whose very existence spells doom for the entire continent. To make matters worse, a nihilist cult called the Black Circle has learned of the Witch’s Eye, the source of the Witchborn virus and an item capable of opening a portal to The Black. Eric Cross’s scattered and war-weary team must find the Eye before it’s too late. With the aid of some unlikely allies, the mercenaries will fight their way across the wastelands and challenge the horrors at the edge of oblivion. And before the battle is won Cross and his team will make the ultimate sacrifice, and face one of their own… Return to the world After The Black in Book 5 of the BLOOD SKIES saga!

The terrifying saga of Mrs. Tuggle continues in this fourth spine-tingling Witch book from Newbery Medalist Phyllis Reynolds Naylor.

WHERE FEAR LURKS— HORROR MAKES ITS HOME... They were out there. Watching. Waiting, in the looming shadows around Thaler Academy, the wolf-like creatures were hiding their terrible secret from the world. A student was dead, a teacher was missing...and Jennifer Field was terrified. She and her friends were the only ones who knew the awful truth. For only miles away from the school, beyond the murky waters of a legendary lake called Witch’s Eye, the alien horror had set up its unearthly home—killing trees and plants, and perhaps, anyone who knew too much.

This amazingly wise and nimble collection investigates the horrors inflicted on so-called “witches” of the past. The Witch of Eye unearths salves, potions, and spells meant to heal, yet interpreted by inquisitors as evidence of evil. The author describes torture and forced confessions alongside accounts of gentleness of legendary midwives. In one essay about a trial, we learn through folklore that Jesus’s mother was a midwife who cured her own son’s rheumatism. In other essays there are subtle parallels to contemporary discourse around abortion and environmental destruction. Nuernberger weaves in her own experiences too. There’s an ironic look at her own wedding, an uncomfortable visit to the Prague Museum of Torture, and an afternoon spent tearing out a garden in a mercurial fit. Her researched material is eye-opening, lively, and often funny. An absolutely thrilling collection.
