Description
Magic is real, and hungry—trapped in
ancient texts and artifacts, only a few who discover it survive to fight back.
Detective Sal Brooks is a survivor. Freshly awake to just what dangers are
lurking, she joins a Vatican-backed black-ops anti-magic squad: Team Three of
the Societas Librorum Occultorum. Together they stand between humanity and
magical apocalypse. Some call them the Bookburners. They don’t like the label.
The fight now continues in Season 2 of this
gritty urban fantasy...
The tide of magic is rising and the Bookburners
must sink or swim. This means their usual strategy of "Contain and
Archive" is going out the window to make room for "Experimentation
and Field Practice" - much to the dismay of some and the glee of others.
Big secrets - about the Society, the world (both ours and the Other),
and the murky pasts of our heroes will come to light....that is, if the team
can stay alive to learn them.
The Team sees strange times on the Silk Road in the fourth episode of Bookburners, the gritty Urban Fantasy presented by Serial Box, now in its second season
Frustrated at the still-broken Orb, Liam does some old-school web fishing and gets a nibble from Turkey. When Team Three travels to investigate they stumble upon a strange and ghostly crossroads where Liam is shocked to see someone he knows –or who at least knows him.
This episode is brought to you by Margaret Dunlap, who cautious to be careful where you wander on the world wide web.
Advance Praise
– Naomi Novik, author of Uprooted and the New York Times bestselling Temeraire series
“Bookburners is the breathless, hallucinogenic love child of Torchwood, the Librarians, and the Laundry Files. More soon, please."
– Ian Tregillis, author of The Mechanical and Bitter Seeds
“Bookburners is an exciting new take on urban fantasy. Love the premise, love the characters, love the unique (and sometimes wonderfully disturbing) spin on the dangers of magic!”
– Cassandra Rose Clarke, author of The Assassins Curse
“Bookburners has everything I want from episodic storytelling - strong writing, a rich premise, and memorable characters that will keep me coming back week after week. ”
– Mike Underwood, author of the Ree Reyes Geekomancy series
“Bookburners satisfies my craving for pulpy, demonic chaos with sharp writing, deliciously sinister magic, stellar black humor, and a kick-ass cast. The serialized story perfectly suits a sorcerer’s codex of baddies while the plucky Sal digs for deeper truths in her work with the Black Archives squad. ”
– Lindsay Smith, author of the Sekret Series
