The voice belongs to his great-grandfather Gregory Mayhew, recorded at the age of seventy-nine by Alan Lomax. What follows is the astonishing story of a summer in 1883 when the Kansas frontier witnessed the impossible. Gregory was only thirteen when his uncle Anton came into possession of a mysterious artifact known as the Rod of God, a relic rumored to carry the power to override nature itself.

But miracles have consequences too. Resurrection defies the natural order. Forbidden alchemy brings forth a strange child who may carry the soul of an ancient murdered immortal.

What Would You Do to Save Your Best Friend from Burning at the Stake? The year 1660 is when it all changed... That's when a witch-hunter comes to Clara Dahl's seaside village in Norway. She's horrified to discover how fast her neighbors and friends are to turn against each other. She soon realizes her sleepy, little, picturesque corner of the world has been invaded by evil-and it has nothing to do with witchcraft. As neighbor turns against neighbor, Clara finds herself drawn into the fray, forced to do what she can to protect her friends and loved ones. An educated and upstanding minister's daughter, Clara speaks out against the witch-hunter's unjust treatment of those accused of witchcraft. She sees how he plays the villagers, using their superstitions and religious beliefs to make good people accept horrible things. When Clara's best friend Bess is accused of being a witch, Clara must make an incredible sacrifice to save not only her friend, but the entire town... before it's too late. About the Book In 1660, women had no voting rights, couldn't own property, and were treated as second-class citizens. If that weren't bad enough, many innocent women-especially poor women-were tried and executed for witchcraft. The people responsible for their deaths were often their own friends, family members, and neighbors. Catching a Witch is a story about a young woman who's willing to do whatever it takes to protect the people she cares about most in this world. You'll love this book if you enjoy...

In the ancient city of Varanasi, journalist Ishaan Mehta arrives to investigate the unsettling disappearances of five people near the ghats. As he delves deeper, the city reveals its haunting charm, where sacred rituals and eerie whispers coexist. The grieving family of the latest victim shares cryptic clues, including whispers that seemed to call their daughter before she vanished. Ishaan's search brings him face-to-face with mysterious locals and a boatman who warns of shadows lurking in the alleys. An old woman speaks of curses and a darkness that claims the unwary, but her warnings seem like ramblings to Ishaan. As he ventures into the ghats at night, whispers turn into voices, and shadows seem to follow him, testing his skepticism. The once-bustling alleys now feel suffocating, with a sinister presence watching his every move. Ishaan uncovers a pattern in the disappearances, hinting at an ancient curse tied to the ghats and the moonlit waters of the Ganga. The deeper he investigates, the more he questions whether the city's mysteries are mere folklore or something far darker. By the end of his first night, Ishaan realizes he may have become a part of the very story he sought to unravel.

Rebecca Parr's older brother doesn't care. When Francis Parr hears trading in Greece is THE most profitable business from a shady man in a tavern, he packs up his sister and their few belongings. He sells everything else and buys thousands of pounds of sugar to sell. He hires a merchant ship, and within a month, leaves England. There's just one problem. Rebecca, a 19 year old woman, will never be allowed on the vessel. Francis convinces his sister to hide in the dark recesses of the hold, with the sugar that's supposed to be their savior. The sailors would never find her, and if they did, they wouldn't be so backwards as to cast her overboard, would they? They would. Rebecca sinks beneath the waves, but before the ship leaves his sister behind, Francis catches a glimpse of a dark tail splashing among the waves. In the wind, a silent song lingers, just for him. "She'll be back."
