An anthology celebrating the witches and sorcerers of epic fantasy - featuring stories by George R. R. Martin, Scott Lynch, Megan Lindholm and many more! Hot on the heels of Gardner Dozois' (Rogues, Old Venus) acclaimed anthology The Book of Swords comes this companion volume devoted to magic. How could it be otherwise? For every Frodo, there is a Gandalf...and a Saruman. For every Dorothy, a Glinda...and a Wicked Witch of the West. What would Harry Potter be without Albus Dumbledore...and Severus Snape?

“Skin witch” Mikkie Locke has spent her life running from her past, running from hate, and running from shame. And when you’re a taroe working in an “in plain sight” magic shop, that’s easier said than done.

Zane’s back! But at what cost? Finally out of the nightmare he’d been dreading for so long, he finds a new world of troubles: Serena’s missing. Their clan is in danger. And his curse is free and roaming the streets. Now, realizing the limits of his strength without a monster inside of him to bail him out, he has to call upon all his resources—and all his friends—to save himself, to save Serena, and to possibly even save the world.

Serena Vailean can’t stop thinking about Zane. After all they’d been through. But running a clan means she must move on; must do what needs to be done. No matter how hard, how strange. Or how painful. Then she finds herself face-to-face with Axle Travers, and all at once moving on doesn’t just seem easier, it seems outright necessary. Because Axle has a secret, one tied to Zane and a new conspiracy that can cost Serena and her clan everything.

Zane's horrific past is forever etched into his skin. His anger and pain overcome his body and turns him into the beast he's come to accept himself as. But, is there a way to save himself from the beast he has become? Especially when the anger makes him feel complete...Serena can't let go of the past, and, in the spectral embrace of her murdered lover, Devon, she has little reason to...Until Zane arrives on her doorstep (and blows it into splinters). However, she can't deny the true desire she feels in Zane's strong embrace.

Cursed rage beasts? A sassy vampire in emotional turmoil? Joining an assault against an apocalyptic army of death? No problem; piece of cake; no biggie! Zoey has never needed to use her vampiric mind-reading or telekinetic gifts to be the voice of reason, but there's one person whose problems she's never been able to get a handle on: herself.

From Parker Palmer, best-selling author of The Courage to Teach, and Arthur Zajonc, professor of physics at Amherst College and director of the academic program of the Center for Contemplative Mind in Society, comes this call to revisit the roots and reclaim the vision of higher education. The Heart of Higher Education proposes an approach to teaching and learning that honors the whole human being - mind, heart, and spirit - an essential integration if we hope to address the complex issues of our time.
