"Discover the magia (magic) and espíritu (spirit) of Mexico with an authentic bruja (witch) as your guide.
Within the beating heart of Mexico is an ancient wisdom that has thrived for generations. Brujas (witches) and curanderas (healers) listen to the call of the land to bring healing and spiritual resilience to their comunidades (communities). They also follow the voices of their ancestors to guide their familia (families). Growing up surrounded by this espíritu, author Wendy Mata embraced the magical life and became a bruja curandera.
Using both English and her native Spanish, Wendy demonstrates how anyone can benefit from these practices to deprogram your mind, free your spirit, and reconnect with your ancestors. Filled with exercises, spells, and recipes, this book will inspire you to discover your own magia.
Wendy shares the beauty and power of indigenous Mexican spirituality and magic."
"One determined goddess. Two beloved gods. Three coveted thrones.
Ancient Egypt's most formidable goddess will stop at nothing to save her true love from the wrath of a vengeful god in this romantic retelling by the author of Neferura, perfect for listeners who loved Lilith.
Isis, goddess of thrones and magic, steals the crown of Egypt and hands the power to her husband, Osiris. Together, Isis and Osiris live an idyllic life, ruling justly until the god of chaos, set on revenge for a crime Isis knows nothing about, traps Osiris in a box—a box that quickly vanishes.
Driven by rage and desperation, Isis spends decades disguised as a human woman, isolated from home and family as she searches for her lost love. When she finally uncovers the box, what she finds will change her life—and the fate of gods and mortals—forever. Unless Isis can right the wrongs of a betrayal she didn't commit and deliver Egypt into the hands of a worthy leader, Egypt will fall into chaos.
Isis of Egypt: Goddess of Thrones is a feminist retelling about the woman behind one of the ancient world's most widespread and enduring cults, a goddess whose message of empathy and resilience resonates still today."
"This is a New York rotten to its magical core. This is the Secret City, where gargoyles roost on fire escapes, were-rats work the night shift at hex-diners, and sorcery and circuitry sing the same siren song. Navigating these garish canyons is Nova Swann, a renegade urban druid and veil-walker who is part ghost, part spell-slinger, and all attitude.
Her life of cynical solitude shatters when a cryptic message lures her into an impossible heist: to breach the impenetrable guild-fortress of Babylon. What she finds within is no treasure, but an ancient, dreaming consciousness—a god in the wires known as the Sleeper. The encounter leaves her forever changed.
Now, Nova is the unwilling key in a war for the soul of reality itself. A series of cosmic horrors, each more terrifying than the last, are awakening to reclaim the world.
The Architect has decreed that chaos must be contained and consciousness itself is a flaw in the cosmic design. But it never accounted for Nova—the wild card in a deck stacked against humanity. To save everything, she must embrace the very chaos the universe wants to erase and prove that some equations can only be solved by breaking them."
"'A staggeringly honest exploration of how shame, cruelty and the hunger for acceptance can make us feel sub-human. Visceral and vicious, horrifying, unflinching and unputdownable' RACHEL HARRISON

"My answer to being kidnapped by a fae prince? A knife to his throat.
Falling into another world and getting captured by an arrogant, shadow-wielding fae prince wasn't on my to-do list. Neither was being told I'm his soulmate, or discovering that behind the glamor of a beautiful, violet-haired prince stood a seven-foot-tall winged beast. Stabbing him seemed like the best option.
But the Prince of Shadows needs to be betrothed to avoid being sold to a goddess by his father, and he's desperate enough to make a deal: access to the glittering world of the fae nobility in return for pretending to be his mate.
He's a liar. A traitor. A man designed to be a weapon of the gods—and a passionate, complicated male whose pretenses of affection feel too real. If I surrender to his darkness, I know there's no coming back.
Every day draws us closer to the celestial alignment that will turn my prince into a force of destruction unlike anything Faery has ever seen. In the game of gods and monsters, all the pieces are on the board, and I'm the unexpected player. Only one question remains:
Will my soulmate's shadows be there to catch me when I fall? Or am I a pawn in his game?
Contains mature themes."
