It’s the end of the Age of Kali and our world is dying, its bounds shrunken to encompass a single city. In the Earth's final days, lonely young Jay Grant finds his first love in the arms of his neighbor Michèle. Together with six other survivors, they break through the eggshell-thin walls of the world to find a mythical land where the ultimate power of creation resides. Washed ashore from an ocean of milk, they confront personages seemingly out of legend: Ananta Sesha, the lord of the Nagas; Varuna, whose eyes are the stars; Indra, king of the devas; and the tormented being who calls himself the Preserver. Jay and Michèle want nothing more than a life together, but the gods themselves stand in their way. Separated by divine malice and tormented by falsified memories, Jay and Michèle struggle to reunite, transforming themselves into beings beyond the merely human to confront the demiurge responsible for Earth's destruction.

Lutèce is the ideal city of magic and romance. But behind a shadowy veil, an ancient menace lurks … Lutèce is a bright city of idylls and romance where no one goes hungry and everyone can wield magic, everyone, that is, except for young Commissaire Jules Janvier of the Police Judiciaire whose talent for sorcery is disabled. A temporary assignment to Art Crimes looks like easy work, but after a midnight encounter with the phantom thief called Le Chat Azur, things turn begin to turn strange. Janvier discovers a secret world of horror and dark sorcery lurking behind the bright facade of his beloved city, and an evil mastermind who he thought was just a myth turns out to be all too real. Soon Janvier is forced to confront the awful reality of his world … the Shadow Minister.

The year is 1917. After his first combat mission at the western front, Royal Flying Corps pilot Harry Tregeseal is assigned a secret assignment to a squadron in a magical otherworld, which at first seems to be a heaven-sent reprieve from the carnage at the western front. The squadron has been sent to fight the Shroud, an enormous fleet of zeppelin-like monsters that spew torrents of poison gas. The Shroud has already destroyed the kingdom of the Unseelie Court and the threat is only growing. The lords of Faerie have invoked an ancient geas that compelled George V to support them, thus gaining themselves allies from another world. The home of the Faerie has strange properties allowing the soldiers sent there to access abilities they'd been previously blind to. The pilots realize something strange is going on, and evidence of the intervention of the gods grows, though supposedly the old gods are all dead. Through the peculiar goings-on, Harry and his comrades must fight against magic, weird creatures, and their own feelings to win the day.

Nora and Eyre work for the organization that regulates the summoning of demons in the financial industry. So when a letter threatens to expose the secret to the world, it's their job to track the sender down.

Hekate and Diana. Odin and Apollo. Freyja and the Witch-Lord. Eternal Haunted Summer was born in the late summer of 2009. It was created as a place where Pagans and polytheists and witches (and non-Pagans with a love of the old myths) could feature their short stories and poems and essays with those of a like mind and similar beliefs and practices. EHS has grown steadily over the years, due entirely to the wonderful contributors whose works fill its digital pages. Without their creativity and talent, EHS would not exist; it would have disappeared long ago. This thirteenth anniversary edition is a celebration of their work. I love every piece that appears in Eternal Haunted Summer, and I just wish that I could have included them all here. These poems, essays, and short stories range from tragic to triumphant, from exciting to despairing, from comic to horrific, from grotesque to sensual, from erotic to subtle; here you will find odes to terrible Gods, exciting tales of adventure, melancholy meditations on creation, and wonderings at the nature of human and divine hearts. These are the best of Eternal Haunted Summer. I hope that you find them as inspiring as I do.

Nora Simeon is on another case. This time she's hunting down an investment-bank sorcerer who used a demon to commit murder, but he's already dead, assassinated in a locked room...

Nora Simeon, and her uncannily handsome elemental partner, Eyre, follow a trail of magic, murder, and conspiracy from the luxurious apartment towers of Manhattan's upper east side to the ancient depths of London's Inner Temple.

Prague, 1672. Franz Theophrastus is the son of the most powerful demon-summoner in the fabled City of Magic. But he's a caged bird with clipped wings, given no allowance, taught no sorcery, and treated with calculated contempt by his father and their servants alike. Everything changes when Franz is given control of the beautiful demon Nehemoth on his birthday. Even knowing the gift is a concealed act of cruelty, Franz can't help but fall for the only person ever to show him affection. Nehemoth, bound by sorcery, has been secretly commanded to toy with Franz's feelings before breaking his heart. But hardened as they are to coerced service, the demon likewise can't resist falling for Franz; he's the most virtuous and loving human Nehemoth has ever encountered. Together the lovers are caught in a web of intrigue spun among Prague's sorcerers, who are contending for the ultimate prize, control of the Holy Roman Empire. The two have only a day to explore the greatest city in all of Europe and find a measure of freedom; Franz's future and Nehemoth's very existence are at stake.

Nora Simeon hates demons. But as an investigator for the secretive Commission, the organization that regulates financial sorcery in New York City, she deals with the creatures a lot more than she'd like. Her latest case has her on the track of a rogue demon, escaped from magical bondage as an analyst for a leading investment bank. On the demon's trail, Nora crosses paths with a beautiful young man named Eyre. He's too pretty and complaisant to be human, and too kind to be a demon in human form, but what else could he be? Together they become embroiled in the secret corruption at the heart of the financial industry. But before Nora can untangle a twisted skein of sorcerous murder and intrigue, she has to untangle her feelings for Eyre. And before she can do that, she has to find out who and what he really is.
