The Sacred Circle
by Rachel JamesBrianna Sage and Devlin Janus have experienced the worst disaster a modern-day witch can face-a Sacred Circle that backfires and kills their best friend. Banished from the coven for the tragedy, each has vowed to never practice the art of magic again. And then the unthinkable happens. Brianna’s mother, a highly competent high priestess, is intentionally trapped inside a Sacred Circle and left to die. <P><P>Returning home, the pair is swept into an unexpected marriage intended to halt the current health epidemic sweeping the commune. Invoking her rights as interim High Priestess, Brianna pools her magical talents with Devlin to retrieve her mother’s body from the Circle. However, when the cleansing is done, they are faced with two even-greater obstacles—handling their growing attraction for one another and convincing the Elder Council there is a master of dark magic amongst them. <P><P>Bent on exposing the sinner, Brianna evokes an ancient ritual called The Weaving, which she hopes will lure the sinner out of hiding. However, as it did in the past, the invocation backfires and she is soon engaged in a life-and-death struggle with the sinner in the Sacred Clearing. Then Devlin becomes an unexpected pawn in their struggle and Brianna is forced to take drastic measures to save him. Summoning all her hereditary powers, Brianna initiates a radical witches’ pyramid to reinvent the original curse. But will she need to sacrifice the love of her life before it can succeed? <P><P>Sensuality Level: Sensual
The Sacred Era: A Novel
by Aramaki Yoshio Baryon Tensor PosadasThe magnum opus of a Japanese master of speculative fiction, and a book that established Yoshio Aramaki as a leading representative of the genre, The Sacred Era is part post-apocalyptic world, part faux-religious tract, and part dream narrative. In a distant future ruled by a new Papal Court serving the Holy Empire of Igitur, a young student known only as K arrives at the capital to take The Sacred Examination, a text that will qualify him for metaphysical research service with the court. His performance earns him an assignment in the secret Planet Bosch Research Department; this in turn puts him on the trail of a heretic executed many years earlier, whose headless ghost is still said to haunt the Papal Court, which carries him on an interplanetary pilgrimage across the Space Taklamakan Desert to the Planet Loulan, where time stands still, and finally to the mysterious, supposedly mythical Planet Bosch, a giant, floating plant-world that once orbited Earth but has somehow wandered 1,000 light years away. K’s journey to this strange world, seemingly sprung from Hieronymus Bosch’s Garden of Earthly Delights, is a journey into inner and outer space, as the novel traffics in mystic and metaphysical questions only to transform them into technical and astrophysical problems, translating the substance of religious and mythic texts into the language of science fiction.

Sacred Fate
by EressëSacred Fate introduces you to an amazing world from the imagination of fantasy romance author Eressё. Some things are worth fighting for, which both high-born ruler and low-born lover learn in Book 1 of The Chronicles of Ylandre. In the dual-gendered realm of Ylandre, the great divide between the high-born True Bloods and the lower-ranked Half Bloods is deemed impassable by most. Rohyr Essendri dared to cross it when he took young Lassen Idana from his provincial town and made him his paramour. Lassen perforce learned how to navigate the intricate byways of life at court. What he never expected, however, was to fall in love with Rohyr, a most inadvisable and impractical thing to do when one's lover is sovereign ruler of the land. But anything worth having is worth fighting for, both figuratively and, as Lassen discovers, literally speaking.Content Notes hermaphrodism and explicit homoerotic sexual encounters.
