Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From bestselling author Tanya Huff comes the first in a series about an unconventional family where women cultivate power, men show a little horn, and aunties are almost always a step ahead... Growing up a Gale girl in rural Ontario meant all the freedom Alysha Gale wanted: tracing charms on her lovers, ruling the high school with her pack of cousins, dodging the aunties’ more coercive pies. But at twenty-four, Allie is brokenhearted, out of a job, and not so much nestled in the bosom of her family as suffocated. Until her wild grandmother writes to announce she’s dead and deeding Allie a junk shop in Calgary. As soon as she steps into the Enchantment Emporium, Allie knows there’s plenty to keep even a Gale girl busy. There’s a monkey’s paw sitting in the glass case. Her grandmother did business with a supernaturally odd collection of strays. And a smoking hot man with a dodgy cover story keeps inquiring about Gran—who’s vanished without a trace. But the shadows of Calgary hide more than one kind of threat. Allie could flee back home... or discover if she can become a force to be reckoned with all by herself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Auntie Catherine warns the family of an approaching asteroid, the Gales scramble to keep humans from going the way of the dinosaurs. Fortunately for the world, they're wielding a guitar and a dragon. The Gale family can change the world with the charms they cast, which has caused some supernaturally complicated family shenanigans in the past. So when NASA and Doomsday Dan confirm Auntie Catherine's dire prediction, Charlotte "Charlie" Gale turns to the family for help. But Allie is unavailable because the universe seems determined to have her produce the seventh son of a seventh son of a seventh son of a Gale. And the Aunties can't help because they're tied to the earth – although they are happy to provide their delicious, trademark pies. And in the end, all Charlie has is a guitar... ...and Jack. The Dragon Prince, and a Sorcerer. But Charlie might like Jack just a little too much, and Jack might like Charlie a little too much in return. Actually, between Allie's hormones, the Aunties trying to force her and Jack into ritual, the Courts having way too much fun at the end of days, and Jack's sudden desire to sacrifice himself for the good of the many, Charlie's fairly certain that the asteroid is the least of her problems. The Gales are going to need more than pie to save the world from an incoming asteroid. But together there isn't anything they can't deal with – except possibly each other.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An imaginative story of a woman caught in an alternate world—where she will need to learn the skills of magic to survive Nora Fischer’s dissertation is stalled and her boyfriend is about to marry another woman. During a miserable weekend at a friend’s wedding, Nora wanders off and walks through a portal into a different world where she’s transformed from a drab grad student into a stunning beauty. Before long, she has a set of glamorous new friends and her romance with gorgeous, masterful Raclin is heating up. It’s almost too good to be true. Then the elegant veneer shatters. Nora’s new fantasy world turns darker, a fairy tale gone incredibly wrong. Making it here will take skills Nora never learned in graduate school. Her only real ally—and a reluctant one at that—is the magician Aruendiel, a grim, reclusive figure with a biting tongue and a shrouded past. And it will take her becoming Aruendiel’s student—and learning magic herself—to survive. When a passage home finally opens, Nora must weigh her “real life” against the dangerous power of love and magic. For lovers of Lev Grossman's The Magicians series (The Magicians and The Magician King) and Deborah Harkness's All Souls Trilogy (A Discovery of Witches and Shadow of Night).
