Witches and angels aren’t allowed to have children. When Urfi defies this, it’ll
take her life’s work to make it right.
It was a spiderweb moon
And the imps did wonder
What dark delights wouldst the cat-witch conjure
By the Sardine Queen, by salt and the devil, by blackwormy earth, and by the deep,
dark sea, the catwitch Urfi conjures an angel to love her and have children with her. But
angels aren’t meant for love, and with the embryonic egg of their unborn children, Urfi
flees from her partner’s violence, enduring terrible trials to find a new and safe home in
the faery forest.
As her children, Isobel, Batzel, and Mazel, grow up with her, they find the horrors their
mother endured during her flight to the forest returning to their lives — this time for the
three of them to defeat for good. With secret magic, solemn bonds of friendship, and
sisterhood, they can at last stand against the threat of the angels’ terror and insanity in
this dark fairytale of motherhood, magic, and apocalyptic romance.
A gorgeous intergenerational family story of promises made, promises kept, and a
mother who would do anything to protect her daughters.

Adventures . . . and finishing her thesis . . . await Lorelei as she’s plunged
into an exploration of the mysteries in England’s fossil history in this graphic
novel caper.
Lorelei is just trying to finish her BA thesis. Then her research into an obscure star-
shaped Devonian-era cephalopod fossil drags her into a scavenger hunt that indicates
her subject may be hiding some of the central secrets of the universe. Or at least, that’s
what 19th century polymath Havius Corus thought.
Careening through libraries, churches, botanical gardens, and stone circles with her
roommate Eddie (and their trusty cat Raisin, who travels with them via backpack),
Lorelei explores the puzzles and the mysteries the polymath has hidden from the world
. . . unseen in the architecture and the nature all around her.
Can Lorelei find the solutions to the secrets of fossil history? And will her thesis advisor
think her hard work is a legitimate dissertation topic? Lorelei, Eddie, and Raisin are on
the case!
