The Clock, the Cloak and the Needles: The Stories of the Enchanted Items from Beneath the Morvan Moon by Courtney Mroch Pdf

Gretchen Lauterbach travels to Brevard, where she meets Zachary, an American ex-pat living in France who deals in antiquities...decidedly unusual antiquities. This collection of three short stories features the backstories of the cursed items from Beneath the Morvan Moon. In "Le Meneur Des Loups", Zachary possesses a cloak rumored to have the power to transform a man into a wolf that Pascal, a Brevardian, wants for his collection of lycanthropic memorabilia. Europeans have a history of suffering due to wolves. Thus it was wolves and werewolves, or loup garous, came to be among the most feared beasts in French folklore, as did Le Meneur de Loops, the Wizard of the Wolves, responsible for commanding the wolves on their missions of terror. But were the legends merely that? "The Clockmaker" tells the tale of a clock Zachary discovers in Pascal's shop that chimes only when Death is near. Finally, "Casting On, Binding Off" features a pair of knitting needles that almost kill Zachary.

Legacy of Magic by Margaret L. Carter,Leslie Roy Carter Pdf

In a world where hostile nations wield magic in combat, twin sorceresses separated at birth and brought up on opposing sides of the war find each other. Together, they face persecution for using wild magic, fight against traitors and assassins, explore family secrets, and discover the hidden origins of magic itself. Above all, to protect their world, they must deal with ancient, powerful dragons that most people don't even believe exist. Most people in the country of Saphradea admire sorcerers and dream of having magical powers. Not Merina, a young woman who detests magic because she thinks it ruined the life of her mother, a failed sorceress candidate who abandoned her in infancy. When Merina's fiance, Trinames, announces he's decided to go for training as a Healer sorcerer, her personal world turns upside down. Merina is heiress to a tract of rich farmland, and she wants only to manage her own property and bring up a family in peace--a dream she thought Trinames shared. Yet events conspire to force her into a realm of magic and intrigue she never wanted. When Trinames is kidnapped and she strikes out across the wilderness to rescue him, in company with a wandering trader who turns out to be more than he appears, she runs into a crisis that awakens magical powers she shouldn't even possess.

The Ghost of Laurie Floyd by Courtney Lynn Mroch Pdf

On her first day at Mayhugh & Horne, paralegal Megan Daniels witnesses a body plummet off the building. However, police don't find anything when they come to investigate. So begins Megan's association with the ghost of Laurie Floyd, a secretary who committed suicide from the building's roof a year earlier. Or did she? As Laurie leaves Megan more and more clues, it becomes evident she didn't take her own life. Someone killed her. But who? And why? Megan believes Andrew Kirkpatrick and Matthew Horne may know. Both are attorneys at the firm who have an interest in more than just Megan's work product. She finds herself drawn to Andrew and repulsed by Matthew, but can she trust her instincts? She joined the firm to work, not to solve a murder or fall in love. Both seem to be happening anyway. If she's not careful, her job and her heart won't be the only things she stands to lose.

Why Fairy Tales Stick by Jack Zipes Pdf

In his latest book, fairy tales expert Jack Zipes explores the question of why some fairy tales "work" and others don't, why the fairy tale is uniquely capable of getting under the skin of culture and staying there. Why, in other words, fairy tales "stick." Long an advocate of the fairy tale as a serious genre with wide social and cultural ramifications, Jack Zipes here makes his strongest case for the idea of the fairy tale not just as a collection of stories for children but a profoundly important genre. Why Fairy Tales Stick contains two chapters on the history and theory of the genre, followed by case studies of famous tales (including Cinderella, Snow White, and Bluebeard), followed by a summary chapter on the problematic nature of traditional storytelling in the twenty-first century.
