Witches, Cabals, and Supernaturals…oh my! Paranormal superstar and internationally bestselling author Kelley Armstrong’s second Otherworld omnibus includes Dime Store Magic and Industrial Magic, along with two short stories, Wedding Bell Hell & Case of the Half-Demon Spy.

DIME STORE MAGIC
Paige Winterbourne was always either too young or too rebellious to succeed her mother as leader of one of the world”s most powerful elite organizations–the American Coven of Witches. Now that she is twenty-three and her mother is dead, the Elders can no longer deny her. But even Paige”s wildest antics can”t hold a candle to those of her new charge–an orphan who is all too willing to use her budding powers for evil…and evil is all too willing to claim her. It”s an initiation into adulthood, womanhood, and the brutal side of magic that Paige will have to do everything within her power to make sure they both survive.

INDUSTRIAL MAGIC
Paige broke with the elite, ultraconservative American Coven of Witches and her goal is to start a new Coven for a new generation. But while she pitches her vision to uptight thirty-something witches in business suits, a more urgent matter commands her attention: someone is murdering the teenage offspring of the underworld”s most influential Cabals–a circle of families that makes the mob look like amateurs.

WEDDING BELL HELL
This story picks up three weeks before Paige and Lucas get married–and if you thought planning a wedding was complicated as a mere human, imagine being a witch marrying a sorcerer.

CASE OF THE HALF-DEMON SPY
This story takes place when Paige and Adam were still in their early teens. Bored after being told to wait outside at a Council Meeting, they try to pass the time eavesdropping…until a stranger turns up, turns out to be an Exaudio demon, and things get really serious.

Book One: Bitten
Where it all began. Elena is leading the normal life she has always dreamed of, including a stable job as a journalist and a nice apartment shared with her boyfriend. As the lone female werewolf in existence, only her secret midnight prowls and her occasional inhuman cravings set her apart. An erotically charged thriller, Bitten will awaken the voracious appetite of every reader.

Book Two: Stolen
Vampires, demons, shamans, witches–in Stolen they all exist, and they”re all under attack. An obsessed tycoon with a sick curiosity is well on his way to amassing a private collection of supernaturals, and plans to harness their powers for himself–even if it means killing them. For Elena, kidnapped and imprisoned deep underground, separated from her Pack, unable to tell her friends from her enemies, choosing the right allies is a matter of life and death. Meet other supernaturals–Paige, Savannah, Eve–who go on to play significant roles in the Otherworld series.

Book Three: Beginnings
Originally released as a novella in Tales of the Otherworld, this prequel to Bitten tells the story of how Clay met Elena. He was a visiting professor at the University of Toronto, reluctant to leave Jeremy and the rest of the Pack in upstate New York. She was a gifted student struggling to make ends meet and coping with significant early trauma. He needed a research assistant; she needed a job…

Things are getting desperate for Maya and her friends. Hunted by the St. Clouds and a rival Cabal, they’re quickly running out of places to hide. And with the whole world thinking they died in a helicopter crash, it’s not like they can just go to the authorities for help.

All they have is the name and number of someone who might be able to give them a few answers. Answers to why they’re so valuable, and why their supernatural powers are getting out of control.

But Maya is unprepared for the truths that await her. And now, like it or not, she’ll have to face down some demons from her past if she ever hopes to move on with her life. Because Maya can’t keep running forever.

This collection also includes, Stalked, previously printed in My Big, Fat Supernatural Honeymoon. It’s not a good sign when Elena Michaels and Clayton Danvers resort to everyday activities on their long-awaited honeymoon in St. Louis. But their encroaching boredom is about to take a backseat to an unexpected threat that catches Clay’s attention. A non-pack werewolf is clearly stalking them—out to claim Elena for himself—and Clay has no intention of letting the upstart mutt spoil their romantic getaway, even if that means deceiving Elena as he pursues the rival werewolf on his own.

Includes an exclusive early look at the first seven chapters of Thirteen, the Otherworld series finale coming July 24. 2012.
