Just a reminder – here is the cover for Book 1 🙂
Blurb
How do you steal a book that doesn’t exist?
When Izola travels to Jarlsbeck bearing news of her ex-husband’s death, she discovers that her daughter, Page, has made dangerous friends. Obsessed with finding a mythical book whose origins are clouded in mystery, Page is embroiled in a magical heist. To steal the book out from under the noses of a secret society of librarians, she’ll have to assemble a team of experts: a sarcastic dwarven historian, a devious summoner, and of course… a book witch—her mother.
But working together will test the team’s loyalties. Page was always a daddy’s girl, and her rebellious spirit has pushed her away from Izola. Worst of all, Page is keeping a secret that just might get the whole team killed.
On the eve of Reinveldt’s post-war election, the world’s fate teeters on the brink, and the sinister Thule Society puts forth a candidate. Nothing is beneath the Thule in their quest to control the fabled book: intimidation, blackmail, assassination.
Can mother and daughter make peace in time to save a nation from itself? And can the team hold it together long enough to steal the legendary book, or will old scars and secret agendas tear them apart?
About the Author
Jordan Loyal Short is an avid gamer, a couch potato, and a bartender on the weekends. Despite these obvious failings he considers himself quite happy, living in the suburbs with his wife, Rishelle, and his dog, Gracie. He’s written three novels: The Skald’s Black Verse, The Weeping Sigil, and Travels in the Dark. These books were a scosh grimdark, and it turned out very few people wanted to read books with infanticide in the first chapter. So Jordan set out to write a book with dragons where zero babies were murdered. Could it even be done? Jordan is proud to say that yes, zero babies were harmed during the writing of this novel. The same cannot be said for the dragons.
