“For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required.”

Leia Hamilton can move things and set them on fire with her mind.

Leia’s father and step-mother tried to hide their past: a time when they were part of a team of superheroes. But despite being disbanded for over 20 years following a series of tragedies, their problems were passed to their children, and Leia finds that her future collides with their past.

In the diverse world of human and superhuman, heroes and villains, friends and enemies, some of Leia’s choices have terrible consequences. For Leia, this leads to a personal crossroads and a search for redemption.

Not your normal superhero novel, Mindfire isn’t about secret identities, costumes, or evil plots endangering the world. Instead, self-discovery and adaptation is at the forefront as the listener follows the lives of the characters who are unafraid to show love and explore spirituality.

Can redemption and renewed grace weather the flames of absolute power and superhuman strength?

Cat Sidhe: Into the Witch Lands I by Jeff Chapman

Posted By Audiobook Librarian Leave a Comment

A human spirit banished to the body of a cat.

Cat Sidhe delivers epic fantasy from a cat’s eye view and a journey rife with predators.

Merliss lives with the local cunning man and is not very impressed with the latest apprentice, but she does what she can to train Saerwynn.

On a routine venture to gather herbs, Merliss and Saerwynn encounter a strange creature on the moor. It walks upright. It talks. And it looks like an oversized cat, but as Merliss can attest, it doesn’t smell like a cat.

The creature is a cat sidhe–a witch shifted one too many times into a cat shape. The sidhe is seeking slaves, anyone with opposable thumbs. Bones and blood are also in its sights. It soon has Saerwynn in its power and vanishes with the hapless apprentice through a portal.

Merliss faces a tough decision. Go after the sidhe and Saerwynn through the portal or warn the cunning man about the new menace afoot on the moor?

How long until Saerwynn’s blood is powering the sidhe’s malevolent magic?

But Saerwynn isn’t the only one in danger. The situation on the moor is far more dire than Merliss and her friends could have imagined.

As one reviewer writes, Cat Sidhe is “a big tale set against a small background, with an epic journey.”

Start prowling with Merliss now.

The Sacrifice by Nhys Glover

Posted By Audiobook Librarian Leave a Comment

Having grown up in a harem as the favourite, if not dutiful, daughter of the ruling Godling, Airsha knew what it was for a powerful man to have more than one wife. But for her to have more than one husband, when she would have preferred none at all, felt like just one more way her fate was being taken over by a vengeful goddess.

Rescued by four legendary airling trainers when she escapes the harem, Airsha finds herself drawn into an uprising that has rebels planning to replace the Godling with the Goddess’ Chosen One: Airsha herself.

But having hidden her magic to avoid being castrated, sneaked out of the harem dressed as her twin brother to learn to fight, refused to become her father’s human sacrifice, and broken society’s rules by falling in love with not just one unsuitable man but four, Airsha was never going to willingly follow the destiny someone else laid out for her. Not even if that someone was the Goddess of all Creation.

Insensible Loss by Paul Michael Peters

Insensible Loss by Paul Michael Peters

If you had the chance to live forever, would you take it?

2053: An old man, Viktor Erikson, lies on his deathbed. Alone and with no known relatives, he is tended to by Olivia, a nurse. He has only one request: that she reads to him.

The request is not unusual, but the battered, leather-bound tome she must read is no ordinary book. Written in 1839, it chronicles the discovery of the fountain of youth by Morgana de la Motte – and Viktor Erikson.

What starts off as a swashbuckling adventure on the high seas in search of riches and eternal life soon transforms into something quite different: a clash between two personalities bound by love and deceit, locked together by a terrible burden of necessity.

What lengths would you go to – and what price would you pay?

As Oliva reads through the ancient book, she discovers a quest for truth and meaning as Viktor and Morgana relive the greatest sufferings and sorrows of humanity, over and over again.

In such a timeless loop, can Viktor or Morgan save their own true selves? Or will their unstable alliance, forged on the fine line between love and hate, turn into a tangled web of deception?

Insensible Loss is a dark historical thriller, breathlessly following Viktor and Morgana through a centuries-long adventure. Switching between the present and the past, Peters’ masterful storytelling make this fast-paced, imaginative epic a bold exploration of a past spiraling out of control – and a future that has never been more uncertain.

The Council (Witch’s Ambitions Trilogy Book One) by Kayla Krantz

The Council is the governing Coven over the Land of Five, a region entirely inhabited—and split apart—by witches with varying powers. Lilith Lace, a witch thought to be born powerless, happily resides in Ignis, the Coven of Fire, until she suddenly develops telekinesis, an ability only seen in some witches born in Mentis, the Coven of the Mind. When The Council finds out about her odd development, she’s taken under their wing and is finally told the truth—everything she’s learned about the Land of Five, herself included, have been nothing but lies.
