In
the fifth electrifying installment of the Joss Walker series, CIA
Librarian Jayne Thorne faces her darkest hour as the world teeters on
the brink of a magical war.
With Odin, the all-father, controlling an army of Wraiths and
corrupting magic itself, only Jayne can turn the tide by unlocking the
secrets of the fabled Man'yoshu manuscripts and claiming the Spirits
totem.
As adepts emerge across the globe and the
battle lines are drawn, Jayne's sister Sofia Thorne and her Rogue
partner Cillian race to train a new generation of young adepts at their
hidden magical academy. But even as they prepare for the coming storm,
Jayne's mother Ruth Thorne teeters on the edge of succumbing forever to
her Wraith form, a chilling reminder of the high cost of failure.
Joined
by her soulmate Tristan Labelle and his fiercely loyal shapeshifting
sister Vivian as her Rogue guardian, Jayne must navigate treacherous
supernatural realms and face formidable new foes to prove herself worthy
of the Spirits totem. An ancient prophecy foretells that only the
chosen CIA Librarian can wield this mystical object, bestowed by the
elusive and demanding Japanese goddess Amaterasu herself, to cleanse the
chaos Odin has unleashed.
Pushing her librarian
skills-and her relationships-to the breaking point, Jayne must conquer a
deadly gauntlet of riddles, rituals and hidden reliquaries to retrieve
the totem before her enemies claim it for their own nefarious ends.
With
the fate of magic itself hanging in the balance, THE BOOK OF SPIRITS
propels the Joss Walker novels to thrilling new heights in a
pulse-pounding tale of arcane intrigue, unlikely alliances, and the
unbreakable bonds of love and loyalty forged in the fires of destiny.
