Except a faerie breezes in with an offer he can't refuse. In Djinn Swarm, Khalid battles for self-control when he discovers the only thing more powerful than a djinn: love. These two novelettes are a perfect gateway into the Fifth Mage War series, introducing new characters and new cultures as the world moves inextricably toward a cataclysmic war.

Readers love the Fifth Mage War Series!"Engelhardt weaves a complex story of faes and foes, political intrigue, romance and more.""The problems the characters face are interesting, difficult, and complicated. I wanted to read something different from the more formulaic books I was reading from established authors and this was new.""This book seemed to have a little of everything. A little science, a little magic, a little politics, a little secret agents and a little romance, so I think there's something for everyone.""Finally, a fantasy for adults, where the heroines are out of high school."

When a siren and werewolf meet in a fae forest, Boston better watch out After a stressful season in Atlantis, Cordelia was expecting to cut loose with some faerie festivities before catching up with her workaholic sister.

Songs of the Suffragists showcases the enduring suffragist message and calls upon modern activists to continue the fight for freedom and equality. The music of the women's suffrage movement reflects the culture of change inspired by over a century of activism. Songs sung by and about the suffragists reveal the persuasive arguments underpinning their efforts to gain the right to vote, and link their cause to other activist movements of the time. The lyrics of the pre-Nineteenth Amendment songs foreshadow the arguments of later suffragists, who sought to advance the cause of women's equality in their own time. Written to commemorate the centennial of the Nineteenth Amendment's passage, this engaging book explores the enduring themes of feminism through the lyrics of American music. * Features lyrics from over 20 songs, including the works of Julia Ward Howe, Nina Simone, Aretha Franklin, Loretta Lynn, and Kesha * Includes over 40 photos documenting the history of the American feminist movement * All proceeds benefit the League of Women Voters * The accompanying discussion guide and 30-minute documentary film are available FOR FREE on the LWV of Northeast Westchester's website.
