Fourteen-year-old Cory Thompson is on his way to magic school with his father and sister. At his unbinding ceremony, the powers he receives make it apparent that he is the magical community’s new Titan. In an attempt to help Cory prepare for his future destiny, Professor Archer becomes his personal mentor. Due to a series of unfortunate incidents—some caused naturally and some intentionally by the Ancient Order of the Crones—Cory’s sister, Ashley, makes the biggest mistake of her life. Cory is the only person capable of saving Ashley from becoming an evil Crone forever, even if he is totally unprepared to fight. Armed with only three months of formal training and his pet bird, Indy, Cory attempts the impossible while surrounded by elves, witches, and warlocks. If he fails, the Crones will have gained far more than a new recruit. They will hold the key to both the magical community’s and humankind’s only hope for the future.

One of the "Big Five" studios of Hollywood’s golden age, RKO is remembered today primarily for the famous films it produced, from King Kong and Citizen Kane to the Astaire-Rogers musicals. But its own story also provides a fascinating case study of film industry management during one of the most vexing periods in American social history. RKO Radio Pictures: A Titan is Born offers a vivid history of a thirty-year roller coaster of unstable finances, management battles, and artistic gambles. Richard Jewell has used unparalleled access to studio documents generally unavailable to scholars to produce the first business history of RKO, exploring its decision-making processes and illuminating the complex interplay between art and commerce during the heyday of the studio system. Behind the blockbuster films and the glamorous stars, the story of RKO often contained more drama than any of the movies it ever produced.

From the New York Times bestselling author of Roses comes "epic storytelling that plunges the reader headfirst" into the fate of heiress Samantha Gordon and ranch hand Nathan Holloway as their lives collide in early 1900s Texas. (Jackie K Cooper, The Huffington Post) Texas in the early 1900s was on the cusp of an oil boom that, unbeknownst to its residents, would spark a period of dramatic changes and economic growth. In the midst of this transformative time in Southern history, two unforgettable characters emerge and find their fates irrevocably intertwined: Samantha Gordon, the privileged heiress to the sprawling Las Tres Lomas cattle ranch near Fort Worth, and Nathan Holloway, a sweet-natured and charming farm boy from far north Texas. As changes sweep the rustic countryside, Samantha and Nathan's connection drives this narrative compulsively forward as they love, lose, and betray. In this grand yet intimate novel, Meacham once again delivers a heartfelt, big-canvas story full of surprising twists and deep emotional resonance.
