A girl releases one demon and all of a sudden her Ph.D. is useless. As the only black listed archaeologist on the planet, Dr. Arienne Cerasola needs a job. When a family friend hires her to find a magical tree, it seems like a good idea. The problem is Arienne isn't that talented as a witch. If she were, she would have been recruited by the United Coven and Alliance, not discouraged from ever practicing the craft. Looking for a new life, Arienne sets out on a quest to find the tree. With a Shaman and the trickster spirit, Coyote, to (maybe) help her - she hopes to prove to herself that she can do something useful with her meager talents. After all, with magic comes fantastic possibilities....and terrible consequences.

The struggle for power has begun. The United Coven and Alliance is rumored to be crumbling from the inside. Magical practitioners who operate outside the powerful organization are being tracked down. The Dominion, a powerful Afro-Caribbean relic has been stolen and four people are missing. Coyote, the mythical trickster spirit, believes Dr. Arienne Cerasola is the right person to hunt down the missing artifact and restore the balance. Maybe Arienne, an unemployed archaeologist and inexperienced witch, is the person destined to save the magical world...or maybe Coyote's belief that she has a seventy-percent chance of success is a grave miscalculation.

Dr. Arienne Cerasola might have a suspicious mind, but that doesn’t mean something nasty isn’t being planned by two of her former acquaintances. They have banded together on an archaeological expedition in the United Kingdom, and that could spell trouble for the magical community. The magical apocalypse kind of trouble. As a witch and disgraced archaeologist, Arienne shouldn’t be surprised when Kingston Pon asks her help to find a lost relic. After all, Kingston is one of the senior members of the United Coven and Alliance and Arienne is one of the few people who knows about his secret resistance activities with the Crux Crucio Orbis. When she learns her own Grandfather is involved in the C.C.O., Arienne’s more than a little angry that her family has been keeping secrets. Secrets about their involvement in the magical world. Secrets about Arienne’s legacy. Keeping secrets means creating lies and Arienne is determined to unravel the deception even if it means collapsing the foundation of her new life. Caught between the clandestine world of the C.C.O., the dangers of the Alliance, and the treachery of a new magical organization Arienne must trace the grain of truth in the legends passed down from the ancient Celts, through the Roman Empire, and right into King Arthur’s court. Legends that were created to protect the truth and keep the relic from passing into the wrong hands. The confines of loyalty and duty make it an even more complicated quest. She might be the only one who can balance the power without collapsing the foundations that hold magic in check but to accomplish that, she’ll have to face the truth about herself, her family, and her place a world she was never really part of.

Magical Relic Hunter Dr. Arienne Cerasola is on the trail of an ancient Celtic sword that can compel truth and cut through anything. That should be an excellent thing to find, but the wiser choice might be to keep it hidden. If Arienne had all of her usual helpers operating at full capacity, it would be easier to find the sword and make sure the big-bads of magic don’t get their hands on it. With an injured Coyote, an ill Grandfather, and Evan’s attention diverted by his criminal cousin, Arienne is on her own with only her magical owl and spirit-beaver sidekicks to help her recover the artifact. Fantasy, mythology, and archaeology blend into one humorous story like a well-mixed cocktail in a fun bar. With snappy dialogue, magical antics, and a plucky heroine that follows her heart, this latest installment in the Relic Hunter Series is why we all need a little magic in our lives.

A rampaging jinn, a griffin with a terrible secret, and a witch with a talent for magical disasters… For centuries, magic in the Eternal City has been limited to folk magic known as the Benedicaria. Witchcraft has been banned, and violating the rule will get a witch expelled from the ruling class. When purple flames being sprouting up all over Rome, the magical families turn to an outside consultant to handle the problem. Blacklisted Archaeologist Dr. Arienne Cerasola is officially the first name in magical disasters, but this is the first time she’s not responsible for causing one. Ari’s been hired to put an end to the antics of the jinn before the human world gets curious. It's also her job to find the cause of the magical blackouts that are leaving the city vulnerable. Having magic go on the fritz isn’t good when the Chanson du Bastille is trying to take over the country’s magical practice. In order to maintain the balance of power, Ari will have to confront magical creatures, find ancient relics, and figure out a magical mystery of epic proportions. There's a reason magical disasters are her specialty, but sometimes the true test of power is knowing when to walk away.
