Book Description
No job for a traveling mage is easy… Even if Beatrice Esterbrooke has done her fair share, something is different about this one. All is not well in the sleepy village of Coedwig, a place of old people and older ways, divided between those who’ve lived there since time immemorial, and the new comers who arrived less than a generation before. With children falling sick and others gone missing, suspicion hides around every corner, accusations behind every lip. But there’s something else going on, something deeper. The job seems easy enough, find the kids, catch the beast. But monsters are not all one and the same. Some come from deeper places, from forgotten times. Some monsters can’t be killed. The first standalone story in the wider Sylmanara universe, Thrice Dead Witch is a tale of small towns, old magic, and the true nature of monsters.

Book Description
A chance discovery could not have come at a worse time… Diplomats running from one war stumbled across the ghost of another. Deep within a remote ruin lies a forgotten treasure, an eye plucked from a god, brimming with the power of a collapsing star. With war still raging, the Triple Crown can spare little to investigate such rumors and decides to wait. The College of Wintermoore and the Church of Builders are not so patient. Rivals for centuries, each desires the knowledge of such forgotten relics for themselves. The College puts together one team, of an arrogant mage, an expendable con man, and a wiry ranger, while the Church puts together another, of a famed paladin running from his past, and a young chaplain with a secret of her own. A race is on, to win a danger none are prepared to face, with the will of the gods as their trophy, and the fate of the world hanging in the balance. Eye of Syl is the first book of the Sylmanara trilogy, but can be read as a standalone novel. Filled with rich characters, deep worldbuilding, and a sprawling, episodic plot, Eye of Syl is a hidden gem waiting to be discovered.

Book Description
Éva Pócs, one of the most highly respected scholars of historical anthropology, has undertaken extensive research on the history of folk beliefs connected with communication and the supernatural sphere. In this book, she examines the relics of European shamanism in early modern sources, and the techniques and belief-systems of mediators found in the records of witchcraft trials from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century. The book explores the various communication systems known to early modern Hungarians, describes the role of these systems in everyday village life, and shows how they were connected to contemporary European systems, as well as new types of mediators and systems which function right up to the twentieth century. Representing a major contribution to the most up-to-date international research, Eva Pócs draws on significant East European material and literature not previously co-ordinated with that from the West.

Book Description
Clementine Brodeur must untangle her dead mother’s legacy before the clock runs out. My name is Clementine and my magic is making me lose sleep. My two sisters and I have forty-eight hours to find someone our talented mother could not. If we don’t succeed, someone will die. My magic allows me to see memories the dead leave behind--which forces me to relive the moment my mother was attacked by fae. I must tell my sisters what I’ve seen, because I know what we need to do. Except I’m afraid they’re done with my “leap now, look later” escapades. They’ve had my back for over twenty years. Why wouldn’t they have it now?

Book Description
Shakespeare's Catholic context was the most important literary discovery of the last century. No biography of the Bard is now complete without chapters on the paranoia and persecution in which he was educated, or the treason which engulfed his family. Whether to suffer outrageous fortune or take up arms in suicidal resistance was, as Hamlet says, 'the question' that fired Shakespeare's stage. In 'Secret Shakespeare' Richard Wilson asks why the dramatist remained so enigmatic about his own beliefs, and so silent on the atrocities he survived. Shakespeare constructed a drama not of discovery, like his rivals, but of darkness, deferral, evasion and disguise, where, for all his hopes of a 'golden time' of future toleration, 'What's to come' is always unsure. Whether or not 'He died a papist', it is because we can never 'pluck out the heart' of his mystery that Shakespeare's plays retain their unique potential to resist. This is a fascinating work, which will be essential reading for all scholars of Shakespeare and Renaissance studies.
