WITHOUT A TRACE Anya Kalinczyk is the rarest type of psychic medium, a Lantern, who holds down a day job as an arson investigator with the Detroit Fire Department—while working 24/7 to exterminate malicious spirits haunting a city plagued by unemployment and despair. Along with her inseparable salamander familiar, Sparky, Anya has seen, and even survived, all manner of fiery hell—but her newest case sparks suspicions of a bizarre phenomenon that no one but her eccentric team of ghost hunters might believe: spontaneous human combustion. After fire consumes the home of elderly Jasper Bernard, Anya is stunned to discover his remains—or, more precisely, a lack of them; even the fiercest fires leave some trace of their victims—and she is sure this was no naturally occurring blaze. Soon she’s unearthed a connection to a celebrity psychic who preys on Detroit’s poor, promising miracles for money. But Hope Solomon wants more—she’s collecting spirits, and in a frantic race against time, Anya will face down an evil adversary who threatens her fragile relationship with her lover, her beloved Sparky’s freshly hatched newts, and the wandering souls of the entire city

A Wildlands Novel

Nine of Stars

Witch Creek

Something venomous has come to Temperance … It's been two months since Petra Dee and her coyote sidekick Sig faced off against Temperance's resident alchemist, but things are far from quiet. When an Internet video of a massive snake in the backcountry of Yellowstone goes viral, a chase for the mythical basilisk is on. Monster hunters swarm into the area, and never one to pass up the promise of discovery, Petra joins in the search. Among the newcomers is a snake cult on wheels―the biker gang Sisters of Serpens. Unlike some, the Sisters don't want to kill the basilisk―they want to worship it. But things get complicated when the basilisk develops a taste for human flesh that rivals the Sisters' own murderous skills. Meanwhile, the alchemical tree of life is dying, and the undead Hanged Men of Temperance who depend on it know the basilisk may be their last chance for survival. With time running out for everyone around her, Petra will be forced to decide who survives and who she must leave behind in this action-packed sequel to Dark Alchemy.

Morrigan’s Blood

Ashes

Laura Bickle, the critically acclaimed author of Nine of Stars and Witch Creek, returns with a fiery new chapter in her celebrated Wildlands series. In the Yellowstone backcountry, a merciless source of evil carries a torch for the past… Petra Dee and her immortal husband, Gabe, have been trying to gain a toehold in what passes for ordinary life in Temperance, Wyoming— a wickedly enchanted land founded generations ago by the alchemist, Lascaris. Petra may be adept when it comes to the uncanny, but as a reasoned geologist, Petra still can’t fathom the wildfires suddenly engulfing Yellowstone National Park, or why Gabe claims to have seen the sky explode in flames. The answers could lie in the past. It was a dreadful night in 1862 when Lascaris went harvesting for souls, only to be set upon by townsfolk determined to eliminate the root of all evil in a trial by fire. Petra can’t help fearing that Lascaris has crawled out of the ashes of history to wreak vengeance—and to complete his mission by claiming every vulnerable soul in Temperance. With the help of Gabe and her coyote sidekick, Sig, Petra must now venture into Lascaris’s shadow before he turns her world into an inferno burning out of control. “Bickle is well on her way to establishing her work as a cornerstone of her genre.” —Publishers Weekly

Phoenix Falling

Anya arbeitet als Ermittlerin für die Feuerwehr von Detroit. Dies allein wäre ziemlich unspektakulär, wenn Anya nicht eine besondere Gabe hätte: Sie ist ein Medium; sie kann Geister aufspüren und zerstören. Diese Fähigkeit setzt sie nachts ein, wenn sie mit einem Team von Geisterjägern paranormalen Phänomenen nachgeht. Eines nachts bei einer Geisteraustreibung, spricht ein Geist von der Ankunft von Sirrush. Und das sind schlechte Neuigkeiten. Denn Sirrush ist der Legende nach der mächtigste Feuerdämon der Welt, der vor Jahrhunderten unter die Erde verbannt wurde und dort schläft. Kurz darauf entflammen in der Stadt mysteriöse Brände, wie Anya sie noch nie gesehen hat: Die Entstehung der Feuer ist physikalisch geradezu unmöglich. Ist Sirrush tatsächlich erwacht.

Flammenzorn

From critically acclaimed author Laura Bickle (Dark Alchemy) comes the first novel in the Wildlands series, NINE OF STARS. Longmire meets Patricia Brigg's Mercy Thompson in this exciting new series that shows how weird and wonderful the West can truly be. Winter has always been a deadly season in Temperance, but this time, there’s more to fear than just the cold… As the daughter of an alchemist, Petra Dee has faced all manner of occult horrors – especially since her arrival in the small town of Temperance, Wyoming. But she can’t explain the creature now stalking the backcountry of Yellowstone, butchering wolves and leaving only their skins behind in the snow. Rumors surface of the return of Skinflint Jack, a nineteenth-century wraith that kills in fulfillment of an ancient bargain. The new sheriff in town, Owen Rutherford, isn’t helping matters. He’s a dangerously haunted man on the trail of both an unsolved case and a fresh kill - a bizarre murder leading him right to Petra’s partner Gabriel. And while Gabe once had little to fear from the mortal world, he’s all too human now. This time, when violence hits close to home, there are no magical solutions. It’s up to Petra and her coyote sidekick Sig to get ahead of both Owen and the unnatural being hunting them all – before the trail turns deathly cold.

When one of her patients climbs off the operating table and disappears into the night, she finds herself caught in a war between legions of vampires and witches in Riverpointe. Morrigan's Bite Garnet had a beautiful life...and it was stolen from her when she was turned into a vampire. She now finds herself hiding out in the basement of a coven house governed by hostile witches, dreaming of an existence as Erzebet Bathory.

When her sister and friend go missing, Garnet knows she's being hunted by vampires who will stop at nothing to bring her back into their fold.
