&#39;TIS THE SEASON FOR REVENGE<br><br>If asked, Thia McDaniel would say she has more than enough trouble.<br><br>One: She is the new owner of Eclectica, the most popular gift store in Granite Springs. If the advent of the winter holidays isn&#39;t the busiest shopping time of the year, she doesn&#39;t want to know what is.<br><br>Two: Not only is magic real, but thanks to the powers she unwittingly received from the Stone of Shadows, it is inside her&mdash;and until she learns control, she&#39;ll be a danger to herself and anyone within range. (Which could be everyone.) <br><br>Three: She hasn&#39;t heard from Cormac.<br><br>Four: No one has heard from Cassie, either.<br><br>Five: The Brigantium&mdash;despite being plagued with troubles of its own&mdash;continues to want her to join its secret ranks. But in the aftermath of betrayal from within, can the group be trusted?<br><br>And that&#39;s before Eclectica&#39;s cafe manager disappears under suspicious circumstances and everything gets so much worse.

The Stone of Shadows

R. A. Finley

Trouble comes this day…<br><br>When Thia McDaniel&#39;s great aunt Lettie sends her a polished crystal sphere and tells her to protect it at all costs, naturally she has some concerns…about the elderly woman&#39;s sanity. What else is she to think? Lettie is convinced the innocuous stone holds an otherworldly power which dangerous people will stop at nothing to get. <br><br>Unfortunately, Lettie is perfectly sane, and Thia finds herself caught up in a world beyond her imagining. A world of myth and magic, where a secret society seems to hold all the answers, an ancient sorcerer wants her dead, and an enigmatic charmer is either the last man she should trust&mdash;or the only one she can.
