Utterly annihilating the Collective’s compound, and destroying everything that had gone into creating us — the Five.I found Christopher and Paisley a home, a safe haven.

About revealing any part of myself to witches of the light.Witches who could hurt me without a lick of magic or a single sharp blade. Just by denying Opal the future she wanted.Because of me. And everything I could no longer hide. Or hide from.Instincts and Impostors is the fifth book in the Amplifier Series, which is set in the same universe as the Dowser, Oracle, Reconstructionist, Archivist, and Misfits of the Adept Universe series.

      The plan was to hop a train to Oslo, hang out at a coffee shop, and connect my personal archive, Infinity, to the Internet. Yes, completely disregarding the well-established fact that magic and technology didn't mix. At all.I was also hoping to browse as many bookstores as I could before my younger brother's patience ran out. Unfortunately, the five-year-old fledgling dragon was better known for his exuberant - and ultimately destructive - tendencies rather than his attention span.I almost pulled it all off. Almost proved that my position as Archivist of the Modern World wasn't just an empty title. Then I got summoned - by the most powerful beings in the magical world. And when the guardian dragons made a request, no one denied them. Not even a lesser dragon.Not even if it tore me away from everything I'd ever known - and the one person I couldn't leave behind._____________Awakening Infinity is a prequel novel in the Archivist series, which is set in the same universe as the Dowser, Oracle, Reconstructionist, Amplifier, and Misfits of the Adept Universe series.Reading order of the Archivist Series: Awakening Infinity (Archivist 0)Invoking Infinity (Archivist 1

      Not all dragons breathe fire and horde treasure, some have a real thing for artifacts, rare books, and magical creatures. I'd given myself and Sisu twelve days to get settled into our new life before tackling my first official day as the head archivist of the magical archives at the National Museum of Ireland. Our new kitchen was under construction, with the electrical and plumbing upgrades in the main rooms of the estate well on the way. I knew how and where to buy groceries, and had arranged a tutor for Sisu. Totally under control. Perfectly planned and executed, my to-do list had held strong through our transition into living among the Adepts of Dublin. With our secret identities firmly in place. And then someone started releasing magical artifacts into the city, wreaking havoc on the witches and the werewolves. With me stuck in the middle, trying to sort it out with as few fatalities as possible. All while neutralizing the misused artifacts in question. Thankfully, I was a quick learner. And pretty damn indestructible. Though the guardian dragons weren't going to be pleased by a few of my more creative choices when it came to the care and keeping of magical ... well, magical anything. But that was my job. Even, as some might say, my vocation. I was the Archivist of the Modern World, after all

      Tangled Echoes (Reconstructionist 2)

      • 298 pages
      • 11 hours of reading

      I never got involved in the dirt and the details of an investigation. I never let my preconceptions muddy a reconstruction. And I steadfastly refrained from ever allowing my past to dictate my future. At least until the one person I couldn't lose went missing. Because then I'd relive every dark moment of my childhood, confront every heartbreak, and even sell my soul if that was what it took to get her back. Because I couldn't accept a future - not even a promised one of immortality and unbridled power - that didn't include one of the only two people I'd ever truly loved. -------------------- This 76,000 word urban fantasy is the second book in the Reconstructionist Series by author Meghan Ciana Doidge. Author's note: the ideal reading order of the Reconstructionist Series is after the first six books in the Dowser Series and the three books in the Oracle series, but it's not absolutely necessary to read the Dowser or the Oracle series before reading the Reconstructionist Series.

      I preferred it when life came in tidy packages. When it didn't - when something went awry - I was exceedingly skilled at packaging it back up. It was my job to do so after all. I was a reconstructionist. I collected the puzzle pieces, then I gave those pieces to an investigative team to sort out. I didn't ask questions. I didn't offer answers. I saw. I recorded. I moved on. I didn't dwell or obsess. I didn't hunt down suspects. I didn't follow clues to find a killer. And I certainly didn't work side by side with anyone. Least of all, a vampire who I strongly suspected might turn out to be the major missing component at the end of the trail. Then I saw something I couldn't forget. It wasn't the bloodiest thing I'd ever seen. It wasn't even close. But it haunted me. I didn't like being haunted. And I couldn't figure out how to get it out of my head. Someone was killing teenaged boys in the Pacific Northwest. Despite my misgivings, if I could help catch a killer, I had to at least try. ------------------ This 68,000 word urban fantasy is the first book in the Reconstructionist Series by author Meghan Ciana Doidge. Author's note: The ideal reading order of Catching Echoes (Reconstructionist 1) is after the first six books in the Dowser Series and the three books in the Oracle series, but it's not actually necessary to read the Dowser or the Oracle series before reading the Reconstructionist Series.

      Catching Echoes
    • 2016

      I wasn't even remotely interested in collecting the third instrument of assassination. It was far better for everyone involved - and for Warner, specifically - if I just let it be. And since I was the only one who could retrieve the artifacts, I figured it was my call to make. I was wrong. And though that wasn't unusual, I was just so ... so ... wrong ... about everything. I was wrong about who I was protecting and why. I was wrong about who and what I could control. And I was wrong about who I was becoming. Baker of cupcakes, maker of trinkets, half-witch, half-dragon, dowser, alchemist ... Why couldn't I just be Jade?
