Aided by hexes and a bag of charmed relics, the Wilbies have recovered children abducted by chimney wraiths, removed infestations of barb-nosed incubi, and ventured into the Gray Plains of the Unmade to soothe a troubled ghost. Well-acquainted with the weird, they never shy away from a challenging case. But when they are approached by the royal secretary and told the king pleads to be baked into a cake--going so far as to wedge himself inside a lit oven--the Wilbies soon find themselves embroiled in a mystery that could very well see the nation turned on its head. Their effort to expose a royal secret buried under forty years of lies brings them nose to nose with a violent antiroyalist gang, avaricious ghouls, alchemists who draw their power from a hell-like dimension, and a bookish dragon who only occasionally eats people. Armed with love toughened by adversity and a stick of chalk that can conjure light from the darkness and hope from the hopeless, Iz and Warren Wilby are ready for whatever springs from the alleys, graves, and shadows next.]]></description><link>https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S2C1715361</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S2C1715361</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bancroft, Josiah]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1715361002</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780316443302/MC.GIF&amp;client=burnabypl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mortal Follies]]></title><description><![CDATA["A young noblewoman must pair up with an alleged witch to ward off a curse in this sapphic romance set 1814"--]]></description><link>https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S2C1685132</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S2C1685132</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Hall, Alexis J.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1685132002</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593497562/MC.GIF&amp;client=burnabypl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Little Thieves]]></title><description><![CDATA["Vanja Schmidt knows that no gift is freely given, not even a mother's love--and she's on the hook for one hell of a debt. Vanja, the adopted goddaughter of Death and Fortune, was Princess Gisele's dutiful servant up until a year ago. That was when Vanja's otherworldly mothers demanded a terrible price for their care, and Vanja decided to steal her future back... by stealing Gisele's life for herself. The real Gisele is left a penniless nobody while Vanja uses an enchanted string of pearls to take her place. Now, Vanja leads a lonely but lucrative double life as princess and jewel thief, charming nobility while emptying their coffers to fund her great escape. Then, one heist away from freedom, Vanja crosses the wrong god and is cursed to an untimely end: turning into jewels, stone by stone, for her greed. Vanja has just two weeks to figure out how to break her curse and make her getaway. And with a feral guardian half-god, Gisele's sinister fiancé, and an overeager junior detective on Vanja's tail, she'll have to pull the biggest grift yet to save her own life."--Amazon.]]></description><link>https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S2C1474847</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S2C1474847</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Owen, Margaret]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1474847002</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781250191908/MC.GIF&amp;client=burnabypl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Joy of Hex]]></title><description><![CDATA[A collection of personal practice rituals and spells for all experience levels.

Meet Pocket, created as a good luck charm for soldiers going into battle, whose bravery and loyalty lives on long after the war. From Katherine Applegate, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Odder and The One and Only Ivan.Thimble-born from tip to toe, Pocket Bear remembers every moment of his becoming: the glimmering needle, the silken thread, the tender hands as each careful stitch brought him closer to himself. Born during the throes of WWI, he was designed to fit into the pocket of a soldier's jacket, eyes sewn a bit higher than normal so that he always gazed upward. That way, glancing at his pocket, a soldier would see an endearing token of love from someone back home, and, hopefully, a good luck charm.Now, over a century later, Pocket serves as unofficial mayor of Second Chances Home for the Tossed and Treasured, where stuffed toy animals are refurbished and given a fresh opportunity to be loved. He and his best feline friend Zephyrina, known far and wide as "The Cat Burglar," have seen it all, and then some.An unforgettable tale of bravery, loyalty, and kindness, Pocket reminds us all that love comes in many forms (sometimes filled with fluff), and that second chances are always possible.Don't miss more heartwarming books by Katherine Applegate:OdderWishtreeCrenshawWillodeen]]></description><link>https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S2C1875813</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S2C1875813</guid><category><![CDATA[EAUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Applegate, Katherine]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1875813002</comments><format>EAUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798217408795/MC.GIF&amp;client=burnabypl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Tangle of Time]]></title><description><![CDATA["Hoping to help a new client, The Hexologists, Iz and Warren Wilby, enter the studio of a famously reclusive painter.

But just as they begin to protest their innocence, an explosion ruptures the night, and they awake several hours earlier with no recollection of the corpse or crime. To make matters worse, their bag of magical artifacts, which contains the portal to their best friend (and all-around lovely dragon) Felivox has lost its power. And the painter's corpse is once again discovered, alongside one of Iz's hexes. To save their friend, solve a murder, and prove their innocence, the Hexologists will call upon old friends and enemies alike.

When Shoestring wanders away and dies one morning, Cyril knows his days are finally numbered. But are there enough left to have a last go at putting things right? With his remaining lifeblood, he casts a powerful spell that catapults him back in time to a happier period of Farsalan history - a time when it was Eufrates's older sister Tig destined to ascend to the throne, before she died of a wasting disease, and a time when Cyril and Eufrates's tentative romance had not yet bloomed."--]]></description><link>https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S2C1772805</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S2C1772805</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Costa, Mari]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1772805002</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781915998200/MC.GIF&amp;client=burnabypl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Textual Magic]]></title><description><![CDATA["Katherine Storm Hindley explores words at their most powerful: words that people expected would physically change the world. Medieval Europeans often resorted to the use of spoken or written charms to ensure health or fend off danger. Here Hindley draws on an unprecedented archive, based on her own extensive research, and the result is an original sampling of more than a thousand charms from medieval England, more than twice the number gathered, transcribed, and edited in previous studies, including many texts still unknown to specialists on this topic. Focusing on charms from the so-called fallow period (1100-1350) of English history, and on previously unremarked texts in Latin, Anglo-Norman, French, and English, Hindley addresses important questions about how people thought about language, belief, and power, while also injecting a bit of fun into the mix. She describes 700 years of the dynamic, shifting cultural landscape, where multiple languages, invented alphabets, and modes of transmission gained and lost their protective and healing power. Where previous scholarship has bemoaned a lack of continuity in the English charm tradition, Hindley finds surprising links between languages and eras, all without losing sight of the extraordinary variety of the medieval charm tradition: a continuous, deeply rooted part of the English Middle Ages. Textual Magic will be important reading for historians and manuscript studies scholars, and for students from various disciplines in medieval English culture wanting to learn about the many weird and wonderful types and uses of charms during this period. And Hindley's new findings will appeal to a wide number of specialists, including those in literary and religious studies, the medical humanities, and the history of magic. The book should also find a wider general audience, always eager to read about magic and charms"--]]></description><link>https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S2C1715079</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S2C1715079</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Hindley, Katherine Storm]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1715079002</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Charms and Written Amulets in Medieval England</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780226825335/MC.GIF&amp;client=burnabypl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Danger and Other Unknown Risks]]></title><description><![CDATA[I'm gonna tell you a story, and I'm gonna ask that you let me finish before you say anything. Here's the deal--on midnight of January 1st, 2000, the world ended. But it wasn't technology that killed it: It was magic. Now, years later, the Earth has transformed. Magic works (sort of). People are happy (sort of). But this new world isn't stable, and unless Marguerite de Pruitt and her canine pal, Daisy, do something about it, it'll tilt into deadly chaos. Good thing they've been training their whole lives for this and are destined to succeed. Or so they think.]]></description><link>https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S2C1667428</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S2C1667428</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[North, Ryan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1667428002</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593224823/MC.GIF&amp;client=burnabypl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mortal Follies]]></title><description><![CDATA["A young noblewoman must pair up with an alleged witch to ward off a curse in this sapphic romance set 1814"--]]></description><link>https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S2C1679699</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S2C1679699</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Hall, Alexis J.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1679699002</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593497579/MC.GIF&amp;client=burnabypl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mortal Follies]]></title><description><![CDATA[A young noblewoman must pair up with an alleged witch to ward off a curse in this irresistible sapphic romance from the bestselling author of Boyfriend Material."Fresh and delightful . . . All the interpersonal drama of Jane Austen meets all the complex treachery of Greek mythology."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)It is the year 1814, and life for a young lady of good breeding has many difficulties. There are balls to attend, fashions to follow, marriages to consider, and, of course, the tiny complication of existing in a world swarming with fairy spirits, interfering deities, and actual straight-up sorcerers.Miss Maelys Mitchelmore finds her entry into high society hindered by an irritating curse. It begins innocuously enough with her dress slowly unmaking itself over the course of an evening at a high-profile ball, a scandal she narrowly manages to escape.However, as the curse progresses to more fatal proportions, Miss Mitchelmore must seek out aid, even if that means mixing with undesirable company. And there are few less desirable than Lady Georgiana Landrake--a brooding, alluring young woman sardonically nicknamed "the Duke of Annadale"--who may or may not have murdered her own father and brothers to inherit their fortune. If one is to believe the gossip, she might be some kind of malign enchantress. Then again, a malign enchantress might be exactly what Miss Mitchelmore needs.With the Duke's help, Miss Mitchelmore delves into a world of angry gods and vindictive magic, keen to unmask the perpetrator of these otherworldly attacks. But Miss Mitchelmore's reputation is not the only thing at risk in spending time with her new ally. For the reputed witch has her own secrets that may prove dangerous to Miss Mitchelmore's heart--not to mention her life.]]></description><link>https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S2C1716961</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S2C1716961</guid><category><![CDATA[EAUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Hall, Alexis J.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1716961002</comments><format>EAUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593743157/MC.GIF&amp;client=burnabypl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Danger and Other Unknown Risks]]></title><description><![CDATA[Follows Marguerite de Pruitt and her canine pal, Daisy, as they embark on a journey to save the world.]]></description><link>https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S2C1685003</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S2C1685003</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[North, Ryan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1685003002</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593386408/MC.GIF&amp;client=burnabypl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Drama With Doomsdays]]></title><description><![CDATA["Eighth grader Celia has a strange vision that foretells a doomsday scenario for her school and suggests another seer is nearby"--]]></description><link>https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S2C1697776</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S2C1697776</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Reintgen, Scott]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1697776002</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781665903608/MC.GIF&amp;client=burnabypl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Silver Nitrate]]></title><description><![CDATA[From the New York Times bestselling author of The Daughter of Doctor Moreau and Mexican Gothic comes a fabulous meld of Mexican horror movies and Nazi occultism: a dark thriller about the curse that haunts a legendary lost film?and awakens one woman?s hidden powers. Montserrat has always been overlooked. She?s a talented sound editor, but she?s left out of the boys? club running the film industry in?90s Mexico City. And she?s all but invisible to her best friend, Trist?n, a charming if faded soap opera star, though she?s been in love with him since childhood. Then Trist?n discovers his new neighbor is the cult horror director Abel Urueta, and the legendary auteur claims he can change their lives? even if his tale of a Nazi occultist imbuing magic into highly volatile silver nitrate stock sounds like sheer fantasy. The magic film was never finished, which is why, Urueta swears, his career vanished overnight. He is cursed. Now the director wants Montserrat and Trist?n to help him shoot the missing scene and lift the curse ... but Montserrat soon notices a dark presence following her, and Trist?n begins seeing the ghost of his ex-girlfriend. As they work together to unravel the mystery of the film and the obscure occultist who once roamed their city, Montserrat and Trist?n may find that sorcerers and magic are not only the stuff of movies.]]></description><link>https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S2C1686914</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S2C1686914</guid><category><![CDATA[EAUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Moreno-Garcia, Silvia]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1686914002</comments><format>EAUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593610046/MC.GIF&amp;client=burnabypl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[This Spells Disaster]]></title><description><![CDATA["Potion maker and self-proclaimed "messy witch" Morgan Greenwood is sure she was hexed at birth. Not only did she drunkenly offer to fake date the woman of her dreams during the biennial New England Witches' festival, but Rory Sandler, spellcasting champion and brilliant elemental witch-for reasons known only to the Goddess-accepted. It's like every good luck spell Morgan ever cast came through at once, and it doesn't take a crystal ball to predict this charade will end with a broken heart. Or is the magic between them real? As Morgan and Rory prepare to fool everyone at the festival, their relationship starts to feel a whole lot less fake -- right until Morgan realizes she might have screwed up the common relaxation potion she made for Rory and given her a love potion instead, breaking one of the most sacred Witch Council Laws. To fulfill her promise to Rory, Morgan must somehow keep playing pretend while under the watchful eyes of Rory's family and legion of fans. But to break the love potion, she'll also have to prove how incompatible she and Rory really are. For a screwup like herself, ruining their relationship should be easy -- except every day, Morgan is becoming more bewitched by Rory herself."-- Page [4] of cover]]></description><link>https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S2C1717719</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S2C1717719</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Martin, Tori Anne]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1717719002</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593548486/MC.GIF&amp;client=burnabypl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
