Synopsis

Enchanter’s Embrace

1870

Icarus Kane and Cora Mae Jenkins have done the unthinkable and tied the knot. Away

on honeymoon, they have left the city of London in the very capable hands of

Archimedes Merriweather and Lady Lucia Conti. When news arrives in London of a

possible dark mage wreaking havoc in Kensington, Lucan Orrin dispatches Archie,

Lucia, Bastion and Corrigan to investigate.

The Summer Ridge estate is besieged by illness, demons and horror, leaving our

intrepid adventurers to ferret out the true nature of the black magic in Kensington. Just

as Archie and Lucia are settling into their courtship they find everything they have

worked for may burn to cinders.

The one thing everyone knows about Archimedes Merriweather is that he is more than

just a wizard. And the time has come to prove that

Magic does not make the man.

Volume 1: The Mundane Revolution

"If you were reincarnated into a magical world, what kind of life would you lead?"

Upon reaching the age of nine, dozens of children across the Growing World regain the memories of their previous lives on Earth and try to come to terms with their new situations. Met with a strange and magical world, finding a practicable answer to this question became an urgent matter for many.

Discovering his new world's access to magic had stunted the development of Empyrical Science, Doro's answer is to recruit older crafters and researchers to start an industrial revolution while remaining under the radar by letting others take credit.

Being reborn alone, in a strange forest, and in the body of an owl, Emi found herself with a different set of priorities. Somehow recovering a pair of arms, reuniting with her old friends, and funding her endeavors by taking credit for Earth's music.

They are not alone in this, as the natural disaster behind their death claimed a great number of their former fellow university students, all with their own personal dreams and hangups.

Although their first lives were cut short, a new beginning awaits all of them in the Growing World. Watch their first steps as they settle into their new lives and start gradually changing the world as it changes them in return, and see whether their decisions get them branded as trailblazers, or as lunatics.

Walking Your Octopus: A Guidebook to the Domesticated Cephalopod

★ 4.54

Brian Kesinger

A beautifully produced and richly illustrated book that showcases the day-to-day adventures of independent girl-about-town Victoria Prismall and her pet land octopus Otto. Thirty panoramic, full-page illustrations humorously chronicle the duo's home and social activities that include (among other things) bathing, biking, dating, cooking, playing croquet, and pumpkin carving. Accompanying text explains the "do"s and "don't"s of living with a large land octopus. The book's art is extremely detailed, and each illustration tells its own visual story. The Victorian era characters and period-influenced design elements combine to create a wonderful, collectible art-object for those who still value the classic elegance of ink-on-paper. The hardcover binding is plussed with two-layer embossing and spot varnish, and the interior is printed on extra heavy paper. An exquisite volume for lovers of books, art and pets.

Jim Butcher, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Dresden Files and the Codex Alera novels, conjures up a new series set in a fantastic world of noble families, steam-powered technology, and magic-wielding warriors...

Since time immemorial, the Spires have sheltered humanity. Within their halls, the ruling aristocratic houses develop scientific marvels, foster trade alliances, and maintain fleets of airships to keep the peace.

Captain Grimm commands the merchant ship Predator. Loyal to Spire Albion, he has taken their side in the cold war with Spire Aurora, disrupting the enemy’s shipping lines by attacking their cargo vessels. But when the Predator is damaged in combat, Grimm joins a team of Albion agents on a vital mission in exchange for fully restoring his ship.

And as Grimm undertakes this task, he learns that the conflict between the Spires is merely a premonition of things to come. Humanity’s ancient enemy, silent for more than ten thousand years, has begun to stir once more. And death will follow in its wake...
