Six months after he returns from his fictional world of Andvell, Jeff Powell is still plagued by nightmares, and an inability to write anything new. Cursed with permanent writer's block, and on the verge of losing the woman of his dreams, he feels his life can't get any more complicated. Until he comes home to find Jayden and Brady in his apartment with news that the evil sorcerer Raul is in Montreal. In their search for the now-powerless villain, they find themselves cast back into Andvell, tasked by the Sisters with finding Raul before he regains his power and destroys the world. As far as Jeff is concerned, he has greater issues. Cassie has a new admirer, his characters are keeping secrets, and he has become the target of a silent assassin. Without his creativity, Jeff doesn't know if he's up to the challenge. If he wants to save his world from ruin, he needs to prove he has more to offer than his imagination.

On her mission for answers, however, Molly realizes the road to the truth is more treacherous than she expected. Zachariel is a freak of nature who has never fit in anywhere, and he's grown comfortable with his solitary existence. Now, not only does he have a nosy teenager invading his personal space, he's also dealing with a shady demon who wants to recruit him for a secret project — and who won't take no for an answer.

Described as The Breakfast Club meets And Then There Were None, The Invisible Entente prequel novella introduces all the characters from the Invisible Entente series in a classic locked-room mystery with a supernatural twist. "If you're reading this note, I'm already dead. I find even more pleasure in the idea that one of you will soon join me."

If they want to go home, the way out is simple: discover the murderer — and kill them. Tensions rise as each stranger reveals their connection with Jermaine, but the puzzle isn't so easy to solve. At least one of them is lying. In an unlikely alliance, they have to act quickly to unravel the mystery before the murderer acts first.
An unseasonal blizzard. A series of murders. A client who raises all the red flags. Isolated by his Gorgon-fae heritage, Gabe Mulligan lives for his work as a private investigator. He has a one hundred per cent close rate and a nose for liars. But six naked bodies have washed up on the shore of Wishrock Harbor during the worst storm in recorded history, and the deeper he digs, the murkier the truth becomes. All evidence points to an old injustice linked to a vengeful shadow that lurks beneath the harbor waiting for its next meal. As his suspicions between victim and accuser grow wider, he's forced to question the gray line that exists between good and evil. With the help of his best friend and some unlikely allies, Gabe must sift through the lies to determine who the true monsters are—even if one of those monsters is himself.
And here I thought it was all about me. No one has ever accused me of being humble, but I never would have imagined that the group behind my recent problems had someone else in their sights all along. They’ve captured Emrick, my heart, soul and connection to this world, and I’m preparing for war to get him back. We don’t know what the enemy’s endgame is, but if they’ve snared a servant of Death, whatever they’re after could endanger the fate of the world. Along with my team, I’ll stand in their way, and Death itself will have to wait its turn. Because I’m not done yet. Not by a long shot.
Depicting Canada’s Children is a critical analysis of the visual representation of Canadian children from the seventeenth century to the present. Recognizing the importance of methodological diversity, these essays discuss understandings of children and childhood derived from depictions across a wide range of media and contexts. But rather than simply examine images in formal settings, the authors take into account the components of the images and the role of image-making in everyday life. The contributors provide a close study of the evolution of the figure of the child and shed light on the defining role children have played in the history of Canada and our assumptions about them. Rather than offer comprehensive historical coverage, this collection is a catalyst for further study through case studies that endorse innovative scholarship. This book will be of interest to scholars in art history, Canadian history, visual culture, Canadian studies, and the history of children.
