  Can you choose your own god? 
   
   
   
  There's a power vacuum on Olympus. That's the thing about a civil war. 
   
   
   
  Everyone's weaker in the end than when the war began. 
   
   
   
  If the gods don't stop attacking each other, none of them will have the strength to rule. 
   
   
   
  Anarchy can be worse than tyranny. 
   
   
   
  You can assassinate a tyrant. You can't eliminate everyone under anarchy. Why does everyone seem to think I'm the answer to the problem? Sure, I can reap gods. I'm the only mortal the Olympians fear. 
   
   
   
  All the gods have their flaws. Some of them worse than others. I have to choose between the lesser of multiple nincompoops. How can I possibly decide which poor excuse for a god to support? If I make the wrong choice, departed human souls will pay the price.

  The Oakhurst School of Magic is going places. They're applying for accreditation as an official institute of Pure Magic, and this will attract more students.  
  But in amongst preparations for the visiting accreditation committee, Mrs. Marsh's rabbit goes missing and Veronica gets roped into trying to find it.  
  Why does a wayward rabbit matter?  
  Well, it's a magical rabbit, and you can't have magic running loose in the school grounds if you want to impress the committee.  
  Scratch that, it's a clockwork rabbit and it symbolises everything Pure Magic is not, everything Mrs. Marsh and a couple of other teachers stand for. The one rabbit stands for a deep division in the school community.  
  The school's reputation, Veronica's job and the harmony of the Oakhurst village are on the line. How can Veronica make sure no one is harmed, not even a clockwork rabbit?

  I saw my death coming. 
  It was staring me in the face through the eyes of another witch, but I was wrong. It’s an easy mistake to make, that your enemies would be the cause. Death didn’t come from the front. It didn’t even come from behind. No, my death came from the person I kept beside me for so many years. My heart-keeper, my savior, my protector, my husband, my killer… 
  Summer may have been the villain, but her story is one of survival and betrayal. Captured as a witch, she’s “recruited” to fight against the technomancers as a secret weapon. Her marriage to Donarick Thames sets in motion a vicious cycle of misfortune when her once-sweet husband starts to grow more violent, but in the meantime, she’s a badass witch who commands netherbeasts. 
  This novella contains spoilers for Sonata, book 2 of Lyra R. Saenz’s Nocturne Symphony. Readers who have not yet read Sonata are advised to pause before venturing further. 
  Additional Warnings: Mentions of rape, torture, domestic abuse, stillbirth/infanticide, and abortion.
