Publisher Comments:

New from "a definite star on the rise." (LINNEA SINCLAIR)

My name is Raine Benares. Until last week I was a seekera finder of things lost and people missing. Now I'm psychic roommates with the Saghred, an ancient stone with cataclysmic powers. Just me, the stone, and all the souls it's ingested over the centuries. Crowded doesn't even begin to describe it. All I want is my life backwhich means getting rid of the stone and the power it possesses. To sort things out, I head for the Isle of Mid, home to the most prestigious sorcery school, as well as the Conclave, the governing body for all magic users. It's also home to power- grubbing mages who want me dead and goblins who see me as a thief. As if that's not enough, Mid's best student spellsingers are disappearing left and right, and I'm expected to find them. Lives are at stake, goblins are threatening to sue, mages are getting greedier, and the stone's power is getting stronger by the hour. This could get ugly.

Review:

"Shearin continues to demonstrate her marvelous gift for balancing offbeat humor with high-stakes adventure and paranormal thrills in book two of her high-octane, first-person suspense ride. You don't get much better than this imaginative and hilarious book."

--Romantic Times

"Armed and Magical is the kind of book you hope to find when you go to the book store. It takes you away to a world of danger, magic, and adventure, and it does so with dazzling wit and clever humor."

--Ilona Andrews, author of Magic Bites

"An enchanting read from the very first page...Shearin weaves a web of magic with a dash of romance that thoroughly snares the reader."

--Anya Bast, national bestselling author of Witch Fire

"Fresh, original and fall-out-of-your-chair funny." --Linnea Sinclair, RITA award-winning author of The Down Home Zombie Blues

Raine Benares is as adept at magic as Harry Dresden and just as kick-butt as Anita Blake. In the second book of this series, she takes us on a fast-paced romp that has lots of humor, action and a tease of romance. The author's sexy goblins give a whole new meaning to "things that go bump in the night!"
