About this series
Charlie Gale, Wild Power, has come into her own since she first learned to walk a path no one else can follow. But her heart’s demanding something she won’t take, and family responsibilities are pulling her harder than ever. When she learns the secret of a fast-approaching global doomsday event, disaster brings its own kind of clarity. Epic performances are one of Charlie’s strong points. And if she fails, at least her own unhappy ending will get lost in the crowd.
With Charlie to teach him, seventeen-year-old Jack Gale has finally figured out what home and family can be like for Wild Powers. He’ll do anything to save his. Which is good, because dealing with frost giants, sirens, and chupacabras is great practice for incoming worldwide devastation. Feelings are a lot harder to beat into submission. Fate, on the other hand, he’s yet to try.
Jack and Charlie are determined to change their stars—for themselves and everyone else on the planet. They’ll just have to invent a solution as unpredictable as they are…

- The Enchantment Emporium
1
From bestselling author Tanya Huff comes the first in a series about an unconventional family where women cultivate power, men show a little horn, and aunties are almost always a step ahead… Growing up a Gale girl in rural Ontario meant all the freedom Alysha Gale wanted: tracing charms on her lovers, ruling the high school with her pack of cousins, dodging the aunties’ more coercive pies. But at twenty-four, Allie is brokenhearted, out of a job, and not so much nestled in the bosom of her family as suffocated. Until her wild grandmother writes to announce she’s dead and deeding Allie a junk shop in Calgary. As soon as she steps into the Enchantment Emporium, Allie knows there’s plenty to keep even a Gale girl busy. There’s a monkey’s paw sitting in the glass case. Her grandmother did business with a supernaturally odd collection of strays. And a smoking hot man with a dodgy cover story keeps inquiring about Gran—who’s vanished without a trace. But the shadows of Calgary hide more than one kind of threat. Allie could flee back home… or discover if she can become a force to be reckoned with all by herself.
- The Wild Ways
2
From bestselling author Tanya Huff, the second in a trilogy about the formidable Gale family, whose power to charm goes far beyond magic. Charlotte Gale has always been unconventional. She can follow a song to slip from one place to another in a moment, and unlike her homebody cousins and order-consumed aunties, she’s at ease wherever she rests her guitar case. She has a good life in Calgary, eating home cooking, playing country music, and giving misfit lessons to her fierce little cousin. But when her wild auntie prods her toward a Celtic music festival on the other side of the continent, Charlie’s more than ready to go—even though trouble will surely follow. The rocky coasts of Nova Scotia have attracted more than just ceilidh lovers. Someone is stealing sealskins from the area’s selkies, demanding they support an oil well scheduled to drill next to a seal rockery. Vile tricks and chaotic magic await around every corner, and the people who should be her allies are the most confusing of all. All Charlie can do is chase down answers wherever they lead. Because some challenges are meant only for the wild…
