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.
Episode 13: “The End of the Day”
Asanti goes on trial the climactic finale of Bookburners Season Two, the gritty Urban Fantasy presented by Serial Box.
The day of reckoning has arrived for both Asanti the Archivist and the the entire Societas Librorum Occultorum. Adapt or die; stay the course or switch streams: those are the questions faced as magic rises and Bookburners Season Two reaches its conclusion.
Advance Praise
“Bookburners is sheer enormous
fun! Energetic, intense, vivid prose. More soon please.”
– 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
