Your Science Fiction and Fantasy Book Bargains for January 8, 2022

Being born a witch has always been just a detail from my past, you know, like summer camp, or the time Timmy ate a bug, but now, thanks to one very pushy Immortal, a handful of mutant shifters, a psycho named Chaos and a nice guy (I think) named Emmet, my magic’s become a real pain in my ass.

San Diego was a totally chill choice for college, until this whole moon-cycle madness was thrown in my lap (more like shoved in my face) and now I’m bumbling with basic spells, crash studying to go from zero to fierce in a matter of days.

Only problem with this test is that it’s graded pass/fail where failure is death.

I wouldn’t wish magic on anyone. It attracts all the wrong entities, the kind you can’t run from, the kind who always find you, the kind who know your dark secrets even before you do.

His music triggers forbidden magic. His church doesn’t know…yet.

Piper is a minstrel whose music incites magic that affects listeners’ emotions. He lives in fear of being charged with heresy; he’s seen the church use the same power to punish offenders, crushing their ability to feel emotion.

His problems have already cost him his musical partner and lover, along with his growing career as a minstrel; worse, he’s become entangled in the politics of the capital, attracting the scrutiny of the priests. Terrified they’ll turn him into a mindless, unfeeling beast, he runs.

Can he discover the truth about the magical muse running through him, that destroys every good thing in his life? Can he learn to control the magic, to battle the church, and slice through centuries of their lies? Or will he end up as the priests’ latest victim, all ability to feel hope, love, or hate ripped from his mind?

The Eternal Muse: Desecration is the First book in the Eternal Muse trilogy.
