Synopsis

"The Ball and the Cross" (1909) is an allegorical work by the British writer G.K. Chesterton. The story is set in England in the early 1900s. A disquieting professor named Lucifer kidnaps a monk and forcibly leads him on a flying vessel of his own invention to show him the power of science, of reason ... At the same time, in London, the publisher Turnbull publishes the magazine called "The Atheist". One day, a Scottish Catholic (Evan Mac Jan), reading some offenses made by Turnbull magazine to the Madonna, breaks the glass and attacks the publisher, challenging him to a duel. The two contentendi will never succeed in never completing the duel: they will be interrupted mysteriously and, sometimes, even grotesquely, by various characters. Moral of the work: can the comparison between science and religion ever reach an effective conclusion? And if one day science could explain or demonstrate what today is a mystery? Who knows? To posterity the sentence. (Perhaps).

The Flying Inn is a novel first published in 1914 by G.K. Chesterton. It is set in a future England where a bizarre form of "Progressive" Islam has triumphed and largely dominates the political and social life of the country. Because of this, alcohol sales are effectively prohibited. The plot centers around the adventures of Humphrey Pump and Captain Patrick Dalroy, who roam the country in their cart with a barrel of rum in an attempt to evade Prohibition, exploiting loopholes in the law to temporarily prevent the police taking action against them.

And where four new Rulers will rise and meet their destinies.Lily Ruckler is adept at one thing: survival. Born a Mystical hybrid, her mere existence is forbidden, but her nightmare is only about to start. Fluke, happenstance, and a deep personal loss finds Lily deeply entrenched with those who would destroy her simply for existing-The Mystical Kings. Being named future Queen of the Shifters shoves Lily into the spotlight, making her one of the most visible Mysticals in the world. But with risk comes a certain solace-her burgeoning friendships with the other three Rulers: a wicked Vampire, a wild-child Mage, and a playboy Elemental. Backed by their faith and trust, Lily begins to relax into her new life.Then chaos erupts as the fragile peace between Commoners and Mysticals is broken, and suddenly Lily realizes the greatest threat was never from within, and her fear takes on a new name: the Revolution.

When the fae beckon, very few resist. Even fewer return. 
As a veil witch, I'm used to taking out the supernatural trash. Everything from poltergeists to vampires, you name it and I've dealt with it. So opening a paranormal cleanup business just seemed to make sense. If I'm already dealing with the pests, why not get paid? 
But when I accidentally breach the faerie realm to encounter a girl recently reported missing, start seeing the ghost of a witch whose disappearance has never been solved, and discover a Book of Shadows that opens only for me, I can't just go back to business as usual. Especially when I also gain the interest of a sexy and mysterious mage. Timing is everything, and even as my desire grows, a little voice inside keeps reminding me to step carefully. I know all too well that, in the supernatural world, opening doors means facing consequences. In this case, those consequences might just mean never being heard from again.
