**Coming to KU in January 2026** Sometimes fate brings you exactly what you need before you even realize it. *** Brigid Kelly has lost everything and no amount of spells or wishes stopped it. After her Gran fell ill and passed away, Brigid wasn't able to keep her grandmother's metaphysical shop going. With everything crashing down around her, Brigid buys a one-way ticket to the land of her ancestors, hoping to find solace in the old cabin where her Gran grew up. Ireland is everything she was always told it was and then some. As she sorts out the slowly declining house in the woods, she's thrust into the path of handsome Torin Boyle by circumstance. The walls she's built up around her heart are slowly chipped away as Torin reveals pieces of himself as well, opening not only his home but his heart too. Torin Boyle has spent the last thirty-odd years living in the North of Ireland, running through the rolling hills with his friends. As a pack of wolf Shifters in a country that has no natural wolves, Torin has learned to keep a tap on his inner emotions to protect those he loves. But his homeland is dying; small patches of forest turning brown and dry. When a witch appears on his family's land out of nowhere, he's concerned that the witch is to cause for what's been happening to the land. He never expected to feel pulled into her orbit so completely. Brigid's idyllic life comes to a halt when Torin's father falls ill, closely followed by other members of the Shifter's family. The land around them - the very land where Brigid's ancestors lived - is dying. If Brigid and Torin can't figure out how to fix it, she might not be the only one losing those she loves. **Trigger Warnings - mentions of hospitals and death/cancer; loosing loved ones**Complete

A beautifully restored Victorian house holds a secret: a lingering, well-dressed ghost. The new female owner learns of this before signing the contract, yet dismisses the warning - charmed by the house and skeptical of spirits. Soon after moving in, the sounds of furniture scraping across the floor downstairs awakes her in the night. When she investigates, the noises stop the instant her foot touches the top of the staircase, leaving her frustrated and unnerved. Then comes the night the sounds fall silent, and a shadowy silhouette appears at her bedroom window. It reaches toward her, yet any movement or attempt to respond makes it vanish. Desperate for guidance, she calls her best friend, a mystic, and together they seek a way to rid the house of its spectral inhabitant. Complications arise, however, when an unexpected bond develops between the ghost and the owner. Her friend intervenes by proposing a method to banish the spirit. In the process, the question arises of where spirits get their ghostly wardrobes. Torn between both her desire and the need to reclaim her home, she faces a choice that will test her heart, her perceptions, and her courage.Complete

Awakening Arcana
They hunt spirits, explore the unknown, and confront the supernatural-but some mysteries are closer to home. Magic awakens, hearts collide, and nothing is ever the same again. When a team of paranormal investigators step into the infamous Sallie House, they expect whispers, shadows, maybe even a flickering light. What they find instead is something far darker and far more personal. Evelyn, guided by intuition and her tarot deck, joins twins River and Ryan, their best friend Wyatt, and their cameras to document the haunting. What begins as a curious exploration soon spirals into a nightmare: doors slamming on their own, toys moving without touch, lights dying at the worst possible moments. Each sign draws them deeper, and the house itself seems to breathe around them. But the Sallie House doesn't just want to be observed. It wants to play. As the group descends into its basement, the heart of its secrets, they'll be forced to confront not only the restless spirit of Sallie but also their own fears of trust, loyalty, and survival. Because once the house decides who it wants, leaving may not be an option.
