The Autists: Brigitte - the only savant child of two savants, working to figure out why their genetic studies failed to predict why most of their children were coming out "normal". But her research is interrupted by two flat tires on a country road over a weekend - and a local farmer who is far more help than she expected...

Caught in an ambush cross-fire, she has to heal in human form, which led to her discovering the trail of an old enemy. And two good-looking young scientists who manage to break time with their machine - trapping them all back in Ancient Egypt - while her enemy has their machine and plans to conquer Earth with it...

    As an agent of the Society for Magickal Heritage, I, Cordelia Vesper, have an important job: rescue endangered creatures, artefacts, books and spells wherever they are to be found.
 
It’s a tough job, but somebody’s got to keep British magick alive.
 
So we rescued a valuable book from a long-lost library, only it proved to be unusually... chatty. And it's got a foul mouth, too. What manner of weird magick is this?
 
Somebody else thinks it's pretty interesting, too. Ancestria Magicka, they call themselves.
 
Brand new. Big trouble.
 
But why are they so interested in the book's creator? The woman died six hundred years ago. It's grave-robbers, necromancers and thieves all the way, and when things get that kind of crazy, there's only one thing to do.
 
Call in the Toil and Trouble department.

    The Society for Magickal Heritage’s best agents are heading back into paradise. Giddy Gods help them all.
 
No one ever said heroic adventure would be easy, but this is ridiculous.
 
Magickal wonderlands aren’t meant to have a dark side. Heroes aren’t meant to get stranded there, either.
 
Ves may be up for anything, but she hadn’t expected that pretty much anything would be up for her.
 
And with a horde of unhappy spirits enjoying a direct line to Zareen’s psyche, it’s lucky she’s unbreakable... right?
 
Mysteries deepen and madness abounds in three more Modern Magick adventures: The Wonders of Vale, The Heart of Hyndorin, and Alchemy and Argent.
