De prime abord, Mack est peut-être une humaine d'apparence ordinaire, mais elle vit avec une meute de métamorphes en Cornouailles, dans la province anglaise, après y avoir été abandonnée par sa mère quand elle était encore enfant. Elle souhaite désespérément être acceptée par sa famille adoptive, et pas seulement parce que beaucoup la détestent de n'être qu'une simple humaine : pour une raison inconnue, son sang n'accepte pas la transformation.

Bon, soyons clairs : Ivy Wilde n'est pas une héroïne. C'est même la dernière personne que vous contacteriez si vous aviez besoin d'une aide magique, malgré ses talents. Si ça ne tenait qu'à elle, Ivy passerait ses journées affalée dans le canapé, devant la télé, paquets de chips en main, à papoter avec son familier félin jusqu'à ce que mort s'ensuive. Mais quand elle se retrouve victime d'une erreur d'identité, elle est embarquée malgré elle à la Branche Arcane, le département d'investigation de l'Ordre Hermétique du Crépuscule d'Or.

Moteur. Ça tourne... Inaction ! Ivy Wilde, paresseuse sorcière de l'Ouest et addict de la Sieste, est toujours obligée de faire copain-copain avec le Saint Ordre des Lumières Magiques. Ce qui n'est pas si mal, hein, vu que ça lui donne un prétexte du tonnerre pour passer plus de temps avec Raphaël Winter, son pseudo-Némésis aux yeux saphir. Et quand il toque à sa porte en lui demandant d'aller jouer l'espionne sur le tournage de sa série préférée, Enchantement, elle saute sur l'occasion. Glander sur un plateau télé, c'est sûrement pas difficile.

Si quelqu'un peut comprendre ce que reposer en paix veut dire, c'est bien Ivy. Enfin, "se" reposer en paix, en tout cas. Tout juste remise sur pied après son affrontement macabre avec un nécromancien, Ivy est de nouveau plongée dans un monde de mystère, d'aventure, et de désastre imminent. C'est pas de sa faute: apparemment, elle est désormais la seule personne au monde à pouvoir communiquer avec les morts. Et malheureusement pour elle, ils ont la langue bien pendue et une grosse liste de réclamations.

Après avoir échappé aux griffes de Corrigan, le Seigneur Alpha de la Fraternité, Mack essaye de mener une vie tranquille dans la campagne écossaise, le plus loin possible des métamorphes. Mais lorsqu'elle trouve un travail dans une vieille librairie, tenue par une mystérieuse dame âgée qui semble non seulement passionnée par les bienfaits des herbes mais aussi connaître plus de choses qu'elle ne le devrait, Mack se retrouve prise dans un maelström impliquant le ministère des Mages, le peuple des Faes et la Fraternité.

Mack parviendra-t-elle à découvrir d'où elle vient ? Mack entame sa formation à l'académie des mages, en espérant que si elle se plie aux règles, ils accepteront de lever le sortilège de stase qui emprisonne sa vieille amie, Mme Alcoon. Mais une fois arrivée là-bas, elle se retrouve entourée de professeurs hostiles et d'élèves désagréables, dont la grande majorité semble bien décidée à la voir échouer.

Let's get one thing straight - Ivy Wilde is not a heroine. In fact she's probably the last witch in the world you'd call if you needed a magical helping hand, regardless of her actual abilities. If it were down to Ivy, she'd spend all day every day on her sofa, where she could watch TV, munch junk food, and talk to her feline familiar to her heart's content. However, when a bureaucratic disaster ends up with Ivy as the victim of a case of mistaken identity, she's yanked very unwillingly into Arcane Branch.

The Supernatural Summit is about to start at the DeVane Hotel in London. Vampires and werewolves, ghouls and gremlins, and pixies and druids have all come together to find better ways to get along with the human community and address the strict laws that govern their existence. It's a real opportunity to change the world for the better, and I'm proud to be a part of it. But there are protestors camped outside the hotel and dangerous rumors circling about one of the delegates. When a dead body is discovered, I know it's only a matter of time before all hell breaks loose.

Being the sole police detective in London's Supernatural Squad is no easy task. I have to navigate my way through a world teeming with supernatural creatures, from vampires to werewolves and everything else in between. My inexperience might count against me but my own shocking supernatural abilities will stand me in good stead - especially when I'm confronted yet again by the gruesome spectre of death....

One wondrous faery with stupendous magical skills and a superior mind (not to mention incredible modesty). One drop-dead gorgeous, green-eyed stud muffin and his evil Fey brother. And the end of the world. Maybe.

Ivy Wilde, the laziest witch in the West, is still entangled with the Hallowed Order of Magical Enlightenment. That's not a bad thing, however, because it gives her plenty of excuses to spend more time with sapphire-eyed Raphael Winter, her supposed nemesis. And when he comes knocking because he needs her to spy on the latest series of Enchantment, she jumps at the chance. Hanging around a film set can't be hard - or dangerous - right?

Smoke is still rising from the brutal and unnecessary destruction of the five vampire families...and Bo is in hiding. She won't be able to keep herself away for long, however. An old case and old rivalries rise to the surface and force her to face not just the new realities which London presents, but the darkness that continues to dwell inside her. And then there's the small matter of bitter revenge to consider, too.

Barely recovered from her brush with necromancy, Ivy is flung once more into a world of intrigue, adventure, and potential death and disaster. It's not her fault - it just so turns out that she's now the only person in the entire world who can communicate with the dead. And they're a chatty bunch with a list of demands.

When the ghosts offer information about a witch-hating mass murderer in return for Ivy's help, she has no choice but to get involved. She might be getting herself into more trouble than she realizes, though - and that's even before she's dragged to Sunday dinner so...

There are three absolutes in Mairi Wallace's world: 1. The Mages rule every city in Scotland with terrible, violent authority. 2. It is not physically possible for any woman to wield magic. 3. Mairi does not have a voice. She is about to learn that none of these things have to be true. From twisted wynds and tartan shops to a dangerous daemon and malevolent ravens, the future of a tattered nation might lie with one solitary woman.

It may be less than a month since the doors of New Order opened, but that doesn't mean Bo Blackman isn't busy. It's not just daft allegations about vampire dogs and complicated relationships that she has to deal with, however.

Bo Blackman is not adjusting to her new life as a fledgling vampire particularly well. Drinking blood sickens her and, despite her new enhanced physical skills and the attention she's receiving from Lord Montserrat, she's desperate to find a cure. When her illegal search takes her to the door of Fingertips and Frolics, a small family-run magic shop, she becomes embroiled in a dangerous game of tit-for-tat with murderous consequences.

Bo Blackman is a rookie private investigator working for the London based firm of Dire Straits. She doesn't often get triber-based assignments, which is just as well. Vampires and daemons don't interest her as much as humans do... However, when she has to serve a summons on a dodgy daemon called Devlin O'Shea and she ends up saving his life instead of being framed for his murder, her life takes a shocking turn for the worse.

After escaping the claws of Corrigan, the Lord Alpha of the Brethren, Mack is trying to lead a quiet lonely life in Inverness in rural Scotland, away from anyone who might happen to be a shapeshifter. However, when she lands a job at an old bookstore owned by a mysterious elderly woman who not only has a familiar passion for herbal lore but also seems to know more than she should, Mack ends up caught in a maelstrom between the Ministry of Mages, the Fae and the Brethren.

My parents were brutally murdered when I was five years old. Their killer has spent the last 25 years in prison for his terrible crimes - but I still have unanswered questions. After all, I am the phoenix. When I die, I am reborn in fire and brimstone. It happens again and again and again. I have no idea where my strange ability came from and nobody to ask. Now another shocking murder has been committed in the small village where my parents died and there is evidence which suggests the killer is supernatural.

Supernatural Squad might be small, but we're growing in power. The vampires and werewolves of London are beginning to respect me more, and I feel like I know what I'm doing - even if I don't yet understand what I truly am. Unfortunately, there might be a few snags to deal with. I'm trying to avoid Lord Horvath, the black-eyed vampire leader who seems intent on a more intimate relationship. There's also Devereau Webb, who runs a small criminal syndicate and has offered me a mysterious gift that I'm certain I don't want.
