Book I of Tir Alainn. Ari, the youngest in a long line of witches, senses that things are changing - for the worse. For generations, her kin have tended the Old Places, keeping the land safe and fertile. But with the Summer Moon, the mood of her neighbours has soured and she is no longer safe. The Fae have long ignored what occurs in the mortal world, passing through on their shadowy roads only long enough to amuse themselves. But the roads are slowly disappearing, leaving the Fae Clans isolated and alone. A discordant chord now echoes in the ears of both Fae and mortal, where once harmony between the spiritual and the natural reigned. When murmurs of a witch hunt begin, some wonder if the different omens are notes in the same tune. And all they have to guide them is a passing references to something called the Pillars of the World...Cover art by Shane Parker.

Witches’ Brew: Terry Brooks
$15.00Book V of Landover. With peace reigning in the Magic Kingdom at last, Ben Holiday was finally free to lie back and watch his daughter grow. Which she did - by leaps and bounds. Born a seedling and nourished by soil from Landover, Earth and the fairy mists, Mistaya was a unique child, as dazzling as her mother, the sylph Willow, and fiery and impatient with those who couldn't keep up with her lightning- fast development. But Ben's idyll was not to last. The dark and pitiless Rydall, king of lands beyond the fairy mists, was at the gates of Sterling Silver. His armies ready to invade if Ben would not accept his challenge: to face and defeat seven different champions of Rydall's choice. And accept he must, for Mistaya had been snatched from her guardians by foul magic and only Rydall had the key to her fate ...Cover art by Steve Stone. -
Book II of Landover. A year has passed since Ben Holiday bought the Magic Kingdom and claimed his throne despite the machinations of the wizard Meeks. Three loyal friends have come to his aid: the incompetent Court Wizard Questor Thews; the Court Scribe, Abernathy (a talking dog) and the lovely Willow who is sometimes a tree. Ben now dreams of a former partner, Miles, in grave trouble. Questor also dreams - of finding the lost books of magic; and Willow meets, in her sleep, a black unicorn with a gold bridle. But Ben, on his return to Earth, finds Miles in the best of spirits. He returns to Landover - and no-one seems to know him. Questor's magic books are damaged, and Willow, who has gone to see her mother about the unicorn, has not yet come back. Meeks is gloating - he sent the dreams and now he has the medallion that gives the King the power to summon the Paladin, that mysterious knight-protect. Not only that, Meeks has assumed Ben's appearance and Ben looks like a vagrant. Ben is outcast, recognised only by his enemies and unable to seek help from the Paladin. The only thing that might help is the prism cat - whatever that is! Cover art by Steve Stone.
