Summary
After two years of bouncing around in foster care, protecting her autistic brother and waiting for their grieving alcoholic dad to get his act together, Samantha Park is done with broken promises. The best she can do is stick with Michael and keep what's left of her family in one piece, day by day.
Until one night, Michael drags her along with him to follow a "magic firefly" into the woods.
Next thing she knows, they've been whisked into Owl City: a strange imaginary world where alligators can fly, owls can talk, and music is a magical force.
It's a wondrous city, but the peace is short-lived. Wherewolves are attacking. The fireflies are disappearing. A heavy darkness is covering the sky. And the mysterious man behind the magic - Owl City himself - is being targeted. Sam, Michael, and all their friends soon learn that this place is just one light in an age-old struggle between hope and despair, and it is up to them to fight for the outcome.
For the line between Imagination and Reality is much thinner than anyone knows. The force that wins will shape the destiny of both.
And, Reader, just so you know - the good guys might need your help.

Before leaving Yi City, Wei Wuxian turned to Song Lan and said, “Song-daozhang, there’s something I didn’t tell Xue Yang before. He could not restore shishu’s soul, not for lack of trying or lack of ability, but because there are pieces missing."
So Song Lan picks up Fuxue and Shuanghua, his horsetail whisk, and the spirit-trapping pouch, and goes in search of the rest of Xiao Xingchen's soul.

And Douxie has never wished to be better at magic more than he does then, because if he were a wizard, a proper one, maybe he could get out of having this conversation. Turn invisible, teleport to the other side of the planet, transform into a raven and fly far, far away from Morgana—beautiful, regal, brilliant Morgana, who works magic as easily as a fish swims through water, whose spells write themselves across the universe with an elegance unmatched even by Merlin, and beside whom Douxie feels like something found crawling on the underside of a rock.
Hisirdoux Casperan never was a very good wizard.

Summary
When the Winchesters step into an old Texas bar, they expect to find another ghost or demon. Instead, they encounter a tall, dark-haired musician whose melody carries the echoes of lost ages. His songs seep into the soul, stirring memories long buried—even in hardened hunters.
But who is he? A restless spirit? A wandering demon? Or something far older and far more sorrowful? When the name "Maglor" slips into the conversation, Sam feels a distant recognition… but can’t quite place why. The only question is: will they survive his ballad?
Artists please do not write, the author does not have the ability to place an order.

Now back in London, she's looking forward to starting over. A new flat (with a loft!). A new job at the Ministry. Her best friend Ginny.

Summary
In 1900s Japanese-protectorate Korea, twin brothers are born under blood and resistance. One carries a volatile ancient force known as the Haemun. The other is fated to anchor it. Abandoned by their high society birth family and raised by community revolutionaries in the heart of Busan, they grow up as gifted musicians with a secret: they’re cursed--bound to each other by something older than magic, more volatile than death.
Years later, Jungkook and Junghyun’s return to Busan--alongside Junghyun’s wife, Daya, a Creole Hoodoo priestess--sets off a chain of events that breaks the Veil separating the living from vampiric spirits. At the center of it all is Park Jimin, a mesmerizing resonance singer whose voice tears through reality and whose fate is bound to Jungkook’s in ways neither of them understand yet.
As ancient forces rise and the city teeters on the edge of annihilation, the Jeon twins, Jimin, Daya, and a secretive resistance must fight to contain a war between soul and spirit--or be consumed by it. Strange Fruit is a visceral supernatural epic about music that transcends realms, political and spiritual resistance, and survival--within Korean myth, underground jazz, and traditional Korean music fusion. -

Others haven’t shown theirs yet.
