When Lizzie’s most trusted companion can’t be there, who will she turn to for help? Lord Kenan stepped toward me, then paused. “I’ll give you a head start.” I backed away, barely able to hear over the pounding in my ears. Instead of the intense anger I expected to feel—I was sure that would come later—only fear flooded my system. Spine-numbing, heart-stopping fear. With a wounded body and determined spirit, Lizzie escapes from Lord Kenan, expecting him to give chase immediately. But even though the spells that bind him to his graveyard are weakening, they still hold him in place, buying her time to start gathering an army before he can break free. With supernatural attacks happening regularly, though, on top of her usual Fire Impeder duties, Lizzie has her hands full. She expects (and hopes for) assistance from Abel, but her efforts to reach him are fruitless. And when the mountains start going up in flames, Lizzie is forced to turn to unlikely allies, including her elderly neighbors and Eleanora, the previous Fire Impeder. Will Lizzie and her misfit band of companions find a way to stop the flames and the supernatural attacks? Grab your copy of Crimson Hollow right now to find out!

Will Austin's love for her be enough, or will the rising stress and pressure be too much? Download Enshroud now to find out!

There's nothing like a ghost visiting you while you're waiting in line at the grocery store. Unfortunately for Lizzie, that isn't the only supernatural visit she'll receive... When an angry ghost named Angelo threatens Lizzie and sets her house on fire, she knows the time has come for her to step fully into her role as destroyer of evil supernatural creatures. But things turn out to be much trickier than expected: the amulet doesn't function as she thought it would and fire vampires with unknown motives have set up camp in a nearby canyon. Not only that, but the effigy that is distracting hounds from devouring her is still on the loose, and its shade owners want it back. They hand her an ultimatum: return the effigy, or they'll command it to destroy her. And yes, it's something they can do. Will Lizzie keep the ghosts happy while performing her sanctioned duties or will the hounds catch up to her before she's safe?

In Gardens of Love and the Limits of Morality in Early Netherlandish Art, Andrea Pearson charts the moralization of human bodies in late medieval and early modern visual culture, through paintings by Jan van Eyck and Hieronymus Bosch, devotional prints and illustrated books, and the celebrated enclosed gardens of Mechelen among other works. Drawing on new archival evidence and innovative visual analysis to reframe familiar religious discourses, she demonstrates that depicted topographies advanced and sometimes resisted bodily critiques expressed in scripture, conduct literature, and even legislation. Governing many of these redemptive greenscapes were the figures of Christ and the Virgin Mary, archetypes of purity whose spiritual authority was impossible to ignore, yet whose mysteries posed innumerable moral challenges. The study reveals that bodily status was the fundamental problem of human salvation, in which artists, patrons, and viewers alike had an interpretive stake.

How much time is enough to do the impossible? Lizzie receives a device that will help her find the deadly Hounds of Tindalos along with a very strict warning to return it before the end of ten days. But she also must destroy Lord Kenan while he’s weakened and still in his graveyard. Unfortunately, both events must take place at the same time. She and Abel put out a call for help from powerful friends but they soon find not everyone has the ability to support Lizzie when it comes down to it. And at the last minute, when things are most precarious, she may discover she’s her own worst enemy . . . Can Lizzie and her friends complete both missions before her deadline or will traitors and weak minds cause their downfall?

Even her allies are enemies . . . Lizzie Ashton has been called to destroy the evil Hounds of Tindalos. But without the help she was promised to have, she can't possibly do her task. Now, she must put her day job as Fire Impeder on hold long enough to travel halfway across the world and confront an ancient demon with a mysterious past and a hidden future. Abel, a man who confuses her more than anyone she's ever met, accompanies her, but much of her task must be performed alone. With trips to a creepy graveyard in Holland, ancient ziggurats, and the world's deadliest fortress, Temple of Flames will have you biting your nails. The tension is high, the action is nonstop, and the characters are worth falling in love with. Can Lizzie be strong enough to face ancient and formidable opponents when even her allies are enemies?

Illuminated here are the relationships between visual culture, faith, and gender in the courtly, monastic, and urban spheres of the early modern Burgundian Netherlands. By examining works by artists such as the Master of Mary of Burgundy, Jan van Eyck, Hans Memling, and Bernard van Orley, author Andrea Pearson identifies and explores pictorial constructions of masculinity and femininity in regard to the expectations, experiences, and practices of devotion. Specifically, she demonstrates that two of the most prominent visual genres of the period, books of hours and devotional portrait diptychs, were manipulated by patrons and spectators of both sexes to challenge and negotiate the boundaries and hierarchies of gender, and that marginalized individuals and groups appropriated the types to resist the authority of others and advance their own. Ultimately, the books and diptychs emerge as critical and often contentious sites for deliberating and transacting gender. By integrating books of hours and devotional portrait diptychs into current interdisciplinary theoretical discourse on gender, power and devotion, the author engages scholars in a range of disciplines: art history, history, religion and literature, as well as women's and men's studies.
