    In a savage world ruled by fang and fire, love can be the most dangerous taboo of all. 
A-aea, a spirited Cro-Magnon girl, defies her tribe’s rigid codes to spy on Ga-nor—a brooding young artist more interested in cave paintings than courtship. But when she’s abducted by a ruthless suitor and dragged into the jungle, she awakens something far worse: a Neandertal beast with a taste for flesh… and a twisted fascination for his helpless prey. 
Now, Ga-nor must choose between tribal law and primal instinct as he ventures into the forbidden forest to save the girl who dared to love him. Armed only with stone tools and savage courage, he’ll face a terror that once ruled the earth—and may do so again. 
From legendary author Robert E. Howard comes a blood-pounding tale of ancient passion and primal terror. Spear and Fang is prehistoric pulp at its fiercest, where the strong survive, the brave conquer, and love is carved in stone. 
This Audiobook marks the 100-year anniversary of the story's first publication.

    Things have been quiet in NOLA . . . Too quiet. 
 
 
 
The Coven had thankfully gone back to shunning Thea after the Silas debacle. Unfortunately, the brutal murders of several hedge witches leaves everyone involved with no option. 
 
 
 
They must present a united front—with Thea as the liaison between AID and the Coven. 
 
 
 
Thea finds motivation in the form of wanting to relieve Jax of the guilt he feels for mentoring the victims. 
 
 
 
The investigation opens doors within the Coven for Thea. However distasteful she finds the skeletons in the Coven's closets, the knowledge she gains could be just what she needs to get to the bottom of the mystery before it's too late for the unaffiliated witches in the city. 
 
 
 
Early leads point to a literal witch hunt. Keeping the peace as tensions rise in the magical community is not conducive to getting the answers every side is demanding. 
 
 
 
Solving the murders can't be as simple as identifying non-magicals taking out a vendetta against the seemingly unprotected witches outside the Coven? Right?
