    About this series

    The key to unlocking the heart of sorcery

    August Swaine’s secret pursuit of sorcery has cost him—he’s down to his last few pennies. Agents of His Majesty scrutinize his every move, ready to jail him for practicing the unseen arts. Worse, a demon more powerful than any he’s ever faced stalks him through the shadowy streets of London. As Swaine untangles the mystery of a cursed book, a beautiful actress, and the wanton heir to a brilliant magician’s fortune, the key to all research comes tantalizingly within reach.

    But only if he can outwit those, both human and inhuman, intent on driving him into oblivion.

      10 Literary Witches To Hex Trump

      In case you hadn’t heard, witches across America—including Lana Del Rey—are uniting to take down Trump via a binding spell, which calls on the spirits to keep the President from doing harm (it already seems to be working). Covens, communities, and solo practitioners will perform the spell in tandem at the stroke of midnight on each crescent moon until Trump is removed—the upcoming dates are March 26 (that’s this Sunday), April 24, and May 23. Here is one version of the ritual, with a list of necessary ingredients (including an “unflattering photo of Trump,” which should not be hard to find) in
