Detective Beth Fahey, the newest security officer for the paranormal Arcana, has her work cut out for her in this tense, treacherous dark fantasy from the New York Times bestselling author of the Others series.

Beth Fahey has only just begun to adjust to her new role as a security officer on the Isle of Wyrd, across the river from the human world. But when a busload of living ghosts arrives bearing an inexplicable message from Beth’s grandmother, Beth realizes that her fate—and the fate of her family—has been tangled with Wyrd for much longer than she realized.

Meanwhile, given an ultimatum by her prejudiced boss, Joann Baxter finds herself purchasing a mysterious weight-loss drug in order to keep her job. That decision resonates through the uncanny, opening possibilities Joann didn’t know existed—and bringing her to the attention of the Arcana.

But this otherworldly “wonder drug” is lethal if mishandled. By the time the Arcana recognize the danger, Beth has received a potentially fatal dose. To save her, Wyrd’s leader, Lucas Frost, must seek help from the most powerful, and deadliest, Sorcerer King of them all: his father, Ares de Winter.

Also known as Turns of Fate Book 2.

Anne Bishop

Anne Bishop

In the shadowed corners of fantasy fiction, where magic pulses beneath the surface of every word and darkness often holds more truth than light, Anne Bishop has carved out a world entirely her own. Her stories don’t just invite you in—they trap you willingly, with lush, dangerous landscapes and characters who wrestle with power, sacrifice, and the cost of survival. It's not just fantasy; it’s a realm where emotional intensity meets mythic depth, and nothing is ever quite safe or simple.

Long before The Black Jewels Trilogy became a cult phenomenon, Bishop was already conjuring realms in her imagination, fueled by an early fascination with folklore, twisted fairytales, and the blurred lines between villain and hero. Raised in the Northeast United States, she found herself drawn to storytelling that didn’t flinch away from moral complexity. That instinct—to look into the dark and find meaning—became the foundation of her signature worldbuilding.

Her books often explore power not as a prize, but as a burden. In Bishop's hands, magic becomes a mirror, reflecting back the truths her characters would rather not face. Whether it’s Daemon and Jaenelle in The Black Jewels series or the mysterious Others in The Courtyards of the Others series, her protagonists navigate layered, often brutal societies with dignity, fury, and unexpected tenderness. Her style? Both lyrical and unrelenting—like a lullaby sung in a storm.

Readers and critics alike have praised her for creating fantasy worlds that are immersive yet emotionally raw. Daughter of the Blood, her debut, won the Crawford Award and set the tone for what would become a groundbreaking career. But Bishop has never chased accolades. Her goal has always been to write stories that resonate—haunt, even—long after the final page is turned.

In interviews, she often describes writing as "listening to the characters whisper," a process that feels more like discovery than invention. That quiet intuition is what gives her novels their particular pulse—the feeling that the story is alive, that it existed before you arrived and will continue after you leave.

When she isn’t crafting realms filled with shadow and soul, Anne Bishop enjoys the quiet rhythm of everyday life—gardening, baking, walking the same wooded paths where many of her ideas take root. Her fans, meanwhile, wait for the next portal to open, ready to step through and risk the cost.

In Bishop’s fiction, darkness doesn’t mean despair. It means depth. And if you’re brave enough to follow, you’ll find that the heart of her stories always carries a flicker of light.
