“The Cradle series is explosively fun, endlessly addictive, and it somehow manages to make reading feel like a full-contact sport. Wight makes writing this stuff look so easy.” — Matt Dinniman, New York Times best-selling author of Dungeon Crawler Carl

Lindon is born Unsouled, the one person in his family unable to use the magical Paths of the sacred arts. He uses every trick and technique he can borrow or steal to improve his life, but it seems he will never be able to join the ranks of the truly powerful.

When Lindon becomes the only one who sees the approaching doom, he must leave his homeland to save it… and to see how far he can go by walking his own Path.

Some wounds can only be healed from the inside….

When a magical artifact yanks Roslyn Campbell from her quiet life at a Cottonwood clinic and deposits her in a decaying Victorian three states away, she finds the last person she expected: the Collector, the mysterious warlock who once terrorized her clan. He’s emaciated, dying, and surrounded by a hoard of volatile magical artifacts on the verge of detonation. Her instincts as a McAllister say run. Her instincts as a healer say stay. The healer wins.

Malachi Van Horn has survived banishment, homelessness, and a year trapped in a dimensional void. What he cannot survive is the collapse of his magic — not when four dozen dangerous artifacts depend on his wards to keep them contained. He needs the healer. He doesn’t need the inconvenient discovery that her steady hands and stubborn compassion are dismantling defenses no enemy has ever breached before.

Trapped together in a house full of secrets, Roslyn and Malachi forge an uneasy alliance that deepens into something neither of them planned. But with the Van Horn clan closing in to reclaim Malachi’s collection and a local clan growing hostile, their fragile sanctuary won’t hold forever. In the final book of the Witches of Mingus Mountain series, enemies become lovers, and two people who’ve spent their lives putting everyone else first must finally fight for something of their own.

Jody never asked to become a vampire. But when she wakes up under an alley Dumpster with a badly burned arm, an aching back, superhuman strength, and a distinctly Nosferatuan thirst, she realizes the decision has been made for her.

Making the transition from the nine-to-five grind to an eternity of nocturnal prowlings is going to take some doing, however, and that’s where C. Thomas Flood fits in. A would-be Kerouac from Incontinence, Indiana, Tommy (to his friends) is biding his time night-clerking and frozen-turkey bowling in a San Francisco Safeway. But all that changes when a beautiful undead redhead walks through the door…and proceeds to rock Tommy’s life—and afterlife—in ways he never thought possible.
