Sparrow’s my name. Trader. Deal-maker. Hustler, some might call me. I work the Night Fair circuit, buying and selling pre-nuke videos from the old Earth. I know how to set a high price, especially on Big Bang collectibles. But the hottest ticket of all is information on the Horseman - the mind-control weapons that tilted the balance in the war between the Americas. That’s the prize I’m after.
But it seems I’m having trouble controlling my own mind.
The Horsemen are coming.

Tombstone, Arizona in 1881 is the site of one of the richest mineral strikes in American history. Magicians struggle for power through allegiance: a magician can drain his friends’ strength to strengthen himself, and can place them between him and danger. The one with the most friends stands to win the territory.
Jesse Fox left his Eastern college education to travel to Tombstone, where he meets the tubercular Doc Holliday, whose inner magic is as suppressed as his own, but whose power is enough to attract the sorcerous attention of Wyatt Earp.
When a failed stage holdup results in two dead, Tombstone explodes with speculation. Earp’s plans for wealth and glory require him to bury the truth, but outlaw leader John Ringo wants the same turf. Each courts Jesse as an ally as they struggle for magical dominance of the territory.
Events are building toward the shootout of which you may have heard. But you haven’t heard the whole, secret story until you’ve read Emma Bull’s unique take on an American legend, in which absolutely nothing is as it seems…

Eddi McCandry sings rock and roll. But her boyfriend just dumped her, her band just broke up, and life could hardly be worse. Then, walking home through downtown Minneapolis on a dark night, she finds herself drafted into an invisible war between the faerie folk. Now, more than her own survival is at risk—and her own preferences, musical and personal, are very much beside the point.
By turns tough and lyrical, fabulous and down-to-earth, War for the Oaks is a fantasy novel that’s as much about this world as about the other one. It’s about real love and…
