From the New York Times bestselling author of Ninth House, Hell Bent, and creator of the Grishaverse series comes a highly anticipated historical fantasy set during the Spanish Golden Age In a shabby house, on a shabby street, in the new capital of Madrid, Luzia Cotado uses scraps of magic to get through her days of endless toil as a scullion. But when her scheming mistress discovers the lump of a servant cowering in the kitchen is actually hiding a talent for little miracles, she demands Luzia use those gifts to better the family's social position. What begins as simple amusement for the bored nobility takes a perilous turn when Luzia garners the notice of Antonio Pérez, the disgraced secretary to Spain's king. Still reeling from the defeat of his armada, the king is desperate for any advantage in the war against England's heretic queen—and Pérez will stop at nothing to regain the king's favor. Determined to seize this one chance to better her fortunes, Luzia plunges into a world of seers and alchemists, holy men and hucksters, where the line between magic, science, and fraud is never certain. But as her notoriety grows, so does the danger that her Jewish blood will doom her to the Inquisition's wrath. She will have to use every bit of her wit and will to survive—even if that means enlisting the help of Guillén Santangel, an embittered immortal familiar whose own secrets could prove deadly for them both.

A librarian with a knack for solving murders realizes there is something decidedly supernatural afoot in her little town in this cozy fantasy mystery. Librarian Sherry Pinkwhistle keeps finding bodies—and solving murders. But she's concerned by just how many killers she's had to track down in her quaint village. None of her neighbors seem surprised by the rising body count...but Sherry is becoming convinced that whatever has been causing these deaths is unnatural. But when someone close to Sherry ends up dead, and her cat, Lord Thomas Crowell, becomes possessed by what seems to be an ancient demon, Sherry begins to think she’s going to need to become an exorcist as well as an amateur sleuth. With the help of her town's new priest, and an assortment of friends who dub themselves the "Demon-Hunting Society," Sherry will have to solve the murder and get rid of a demon. This riotous mix of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Murder, She Wrote is a lesson for demons and murderers. Never mess with a librarian.

Παραμονή Χριστουγέννων, σε μια πολυτελή ιδιωτική ψυχιατρική κλινική έξω από το Βερολίνο. Το πυκνό χιόνι που πέφτει αδιάκοπα απομονώνει ιατρικό και νοσηλευτικό προσωπικό από τον έξω κόσμο. Ο αποκλεισμός τους γίνεται αληθινό μαρτύριο καθώς συνειδητοποιούν ότι ανάμεσά τους βρίσκεται ο «Ψυχοσυλλέκτης», ο μανιακός που εδώ και καιρό τρομοκρατεί την πόλη. Ο παρανοϊκός εγκληματίας δεν σκοτώνει τα θύματά του. Με κάποιον άγνωστο τρόπο αιχμαλωτίζει τη θέλησή τους και παγιδεύει τις ψυχές τους. Τα θύματά του, όλα όμορφες γυναίκες, δεν βιάστηκαν, δεν βασανίστηκαν, δεν δολοφονήθηκαν. Στο τέλος όμως υπέκυψαν... Κανένας δεν γνωρίζει τη μέθοδο που χρησιμοποιεί για να παγιδεύει τις ψυχές των θυμάτων του. Κανένας δεν γνωρίζει τα μαρτύρια που αυτά περνούν στα χέρια του. Κανένας δεν γνωρίζει με ποιον τρόπο μπορούν να ελευθερωθούν οι δύστυχες ψυχές. Ένα μόνο πράγμα είναι γνωστό: οι αλλόκοτοι γρίφοι που αφήνει σε κάθε θύμα του. Μπορεί κανείς να ξεφύγει από τη δύναμη του Ψυχοσυλλέκτη; Θα το μάθει μόνο όποιος τολμήσει να πάρει μέρος στο ΠΕΙΡΑΜΑ.

Santa Claus, my dear old friend, you are a thief, a traitor, a slanderer, a murderer, a liar, but worst of all you are a mockery of everything for which I stood. You have sung your last ho, ho, ho, for I am coming for your head. . . . I am coming to take back what is mine, to take back Yuletide . . . —from Krampus The author and artist of The Child Thief returns with a modern fabulist tale of Krampus, the Lord of Yule and the dark enemy of Santa Claus One Christmas Eve in a small hollow in Boone County, West Virginia, struggling songwriter Jesse Walker witnesses a strange spectacle: seven devilish figures chasing a man in a red suit toward a sleigh and eight reindeer. When the reindeer leap skyward, taking the sleigh, devil men, and Santa into the clouds, screams follow. Moments later, a large sack plummets back to earth, a magical sack that thrusts the down-on-his-luck singer into the clutches of the terrifying Yule Lord, Krampus. But the lines between good and evil become blurred as Jesse's new master reveals many dark secrets about the cherry-cheeked Santa Claus, including how half a millennium ago the jolly old saint imprisoned Krampus and usurped his magic. Now Santa's time is running short, for the Yule Lord is determined to have his retribution and reclaim Yuletide. If Jesse can survive this ancient feud, he might have the chance to redeem himself in his family's eyes, to save his own broken dreams, . . . and to help bring the magic of Yule to the impoverished folk of Boone County.
