Jayne Thorne, CIA Librarian

A librarian. A spell book. And a terrorist organization set on enslaving the world. Librarian Jayne Thorne enjoys her quiet life of tea and books. That is, until she finds a spell book in the Vanderbilt archives that accidentally gives her access to a magical dimension. Now she's hunted by a magic-wielding terrorist group called the Kingdom, and the only way for her to survive is to team up with a secret branch of the CIA. Her first mission: Go undercover at Trinity College Library in Dublin to discover the identity of a Kingdom member and determine if the Book of Leinster is actually a magical necromantic grimoire. With the help of a handsome Irish kickboxer, Jayne uncovers the truth of her unexpected spell book: The Irish manuscript is one of five grimoires that can raise five dead, master magicians, and secure their totems of power. With these totems comes the power to control the world. But the spell book isn't the only thing with secrets in Jayne's new life. Danger lurks in every corner and Jayne must rise to meet her fated role... or perish alongside the rest of the world. Contains mature themes.

A lost grimoire. A dangerous new enemy. And a powerful magical weapon that could destroy the world. Jayne Thorne, CIA Librarian, is back for another exciting mission. When her mentor goes missing, Jayne is sent to Paris to find him, only to land in the crosshairs of a deadly terrorist organization and their diabolical weapon, a mysterious poison that renders their enemies powerless. Fighting to combat this weakness, Jayne struggles to make peace with her sister, who has been hiding the truth of their family history for years, and overcome difficulties with her shifter boyfriend, who can't quite sync up with Jayne's new powers. Even worse, the terrorists demand she locate a necromantic grimoire in France, or they will kill her mentor. As Jayne hunts for the grimoire, she unlocks the secret to summoning the Master of Shadows-a long-dead master magician possessing a dark and destructive magic. With this lethal power unleashed, she must protect her team from the worst magical threats they've ever faced . . . or suffer the deadly consequences. Contains mature themes.

With Odin, the all-father, controlling an army of Wraiths and corrupting magic itself, only Jayne can turn the tide by unlocking the secrets of the fabled Man'yōshū manuscripts and claiming the Spirits totem. As adepts emerge across the globe and the battle lines are drawn, Jayne's sister Sofia Thorne and her Rogue partner Cillian race to train a new generation of young adepts at their hidden magical academy. But even as they prepare for the coming storm, Jayne's mother Ruth Thorne teeters on the edge of succumbing forever to her Wraith form, a chilling reminder of the high cost of failure. Joined by her soulmate Tristan Labelle and his fiercely loyal shapeshifting sister Vivian as her Rogue guardian, Jayne must navigate treacherous supernatural realms and face formidable new foes to prove herself worthy of the Spirits totem. An ancient prophecy foretells that only the chosen CIA Librarian can wield this mystical object, bestowed by the elusive and demanding Japanese goddess Amaterasu herself, to cleanse the chaos Odin has unleashed. Pushing her librarian skills, and her relationships, to the breaking point, Jayne must conquer a deadly gauntlet of riddles, rituals and hidden reliquaries to retrieve the totem before her enemies claim it for their own nefarious ends. With the fate of magic itself hanging in the balance, “The Book of Spirits” propels the Joss Walker novels to thrilling new heights in a pulse-pounding tale of arcane intrigue, unlikely alliances, and the unbreakable bonds of love and loyalty forged in the fires of destiny.

In this heart-stopping finale, CIA Librarian Jayne Thorne must win the cataclysmic war threatening the very fabric of magic. But will victory demand the ultimate sacrifice? Contains mature themes.
