Being a Gale girl (no relation to Dorothy) isn't always
easy. Sure, being a Gale girl means immediate cabs,
airplane seat upgrades and most of the world getting out of
your way, but it also means tricky and powerful situations,
dealing with an attraction to and the choices of Gale boys,
and constantly interacting with the sense of entitlement of
the "aunties," who continue to be Gale girls.
After losing funding for her job, Alysha Gale is certain
she'll have a little moping and recovery time, but her
grandmother's death - or rather, news of her grandmother's
supposed death - pushes Alysha into a Gale-less city and a
swath of strange instances and seeming coincidences.
Before long, she is taking in strays: a sorcerer's assassin
here, a changeling leprechaun there. Even worse, Alysha is
over her head in ever-deepening magical danger, and she is
refusing to inform the "aunties."
THE ENCHANTMENT EMPORIUM is a fabulous book. For new
readers as well as long-time fans of Tanya Huff's
Keeper's Chronicles and her Blood and Smoke books, this
newest standalone makes one hope to read more in the future
about the Gale girls.
The bestselling author of the Blood Books delivers
a masterful new urban fantasy.
Alysha Gale is a
member of a family capable of changing the world with the
charms they cast. Then she receives word that she’s
inherited her grandmother’s junk shop in Calgary, only to
discover upon arriving that she’ll be serving the fey
community. And when Alysha learns just how much trouble is
brewing in Calgary, even calling in the family to help may
not be enough to save the day.
