An action-packed, fast-paced urban fantasy adventure with slow burn romance vibes for readers who love discovery of magic and fish out of water tropes by Urban Fantasy Author Thea Atkinson. I picked the wrong pocket. Now, I’m on the bad side of a dark sorcerer. Three years ago, I fled my gangster ex and went into hiding. Three days ago, he found me. Desperate to escape, I pulled off a risky heist that went sideways and left me in a dark alley with a dying man at my feet. If I’d known he was a dark sorcerer, I never would have picked his pocket—or stolen the rune that’s now burning a target on my back. But I needed to disappear, fast, even if it meant selling the relic to a hot AF stranger who might be just as dangerous as my ex. He says I’m out of my league, that I’d better hand it over before every baddie in the city comes knocking. And while he’s probably right, the sorcerer I crossed is threatening to wear my skin if I don’t return it immediately. An impossibility now, considering the stranger just stole it from me. If you love Ilona Andrews and Jim Butcher, you will love this action-packed series starter.

A ticket she desperately needs because her gangster ex and his syndicate of thugs has found her again.

After surviving Thagoth and returning rich to Lucernis, Amra and Holgren have settled down to a very comfortable, if decidedly unexciting life--until the night Amra receives an old enemy's head in a box. A longstanding debt calls her back home to Bellarius, the scene of many childhood horrors she would much rather forget about. Yet, as bad as memories of the past might be, present-day Bellarius is rapidly becoming worse, for the Eightfold Goddess has not forgotten about Amra, and another of Her Blades, the Knife that Parts the Night, has been discovered and threatens to tear the very fabric of reality apart. All that stands in the way of utter destruction is one small, scarred thief and her mage companion. The Thief Who Knocked on Sorrow's Gate is the third volume in Michael McClung's Amra Thetys series.

Christine's magical life has gained her many friends and a budding romance with her dragon shifter, Tristan. One of those friends, the good Maddock, has come asking for a favor. Trouble brews in the city, and Tristan's intimate knowledge would help solve a puzzling rash of attacks. The catch is that those asking for his help don't really want it, and the mystery behind the attacks is deeper and darker than any of them realize. Tristan reluctantly agrees to take the case, and Christine and he venture to the big city of Laethion, a metropolis of magic and steam power. There they find more foes than friends, and danger lurks in the shadows of the Alchemical Research School, the preeminent training grounds for alchemists. As they search for clues to the attacks, Christine finds herself catching hints of Tristan's mysterious past, and even shadowy future. Pieces of the dark puzzle fit together and she begins to understand not only his creation, but her own purpose. A dark purpose that may destroy them both.

When she woke up, she found that she was somehow involved in a series of bizarre events ...
A fresh examination of one of the most contentious issues in runic scholarship - magical or not? The runic alphabet, in use for well over a thousand years, was employed by various Germanic groups in a variety of ways, including, inevitably, for superstitious and magical rites. Formulaic runic words were inscribed onto small items that could be carried for good luck; runic charms were carved on metal or wooden amulets to ensure peace or prosperity. There are invocations and allusions to pagan and Christian gods and heroes, to spirits of disease, and even to potential lovers. Few such texts are completely unique to Germanic society, and in fact, most of the runic amulets considered in this book show wide-ranging parallels from a variety of European cultures. The question ofwhether runes were magical or not has divided scholarship in the area. Early criticism embraced fantastic notions of runic magic - leading not just to a healthy scepticism, but in some cases to a complete denial of any magical element whatsoever in the runic inscriptions. This book seeks to re-evaulate the whole question of runic sorcery, attested to not only in the medieval Norse literature dealing with runes but primarily in the fascinating magical texts of the runic inscriptions themselves.
