Moira Chase is ready for a new start. After the death of her beloved grandmother, she takes over the family bakery in the small, picturesque town of Pine Hill, Michigan. As the latest in a long line of witches, her roots in the town run deep, and aided by her skill with kitchen witchery as well as the constant presence of the spirits of her foremothers, Moira is more than ready to leave her past, and her secrets, behind.
But an innocent-looking purchase ends up adding more than just quirkiness to her shop, haunted by a woman desperate to keep a powerful artifact hidden from a being who poses a threat to everyone in Pine Hill. And Moira is forced to face the fact that, try as she might to live a quiet, peaceful life, her past and present are colliding in dangerous ways.
She has a choice to make: keep her secrets and watch those she’s beginning to care for fall to an almost indestructible evil, or embrace everything about herself she’s been determined to keep locked away.

The New York Times–bestselling author of Eon continues the interstellar saga of the Way.
A devastating war has left Earth a nuclear wasteland. Orbiting the planet is the asteroid-starship containing the civilization of Thistledown, humanity’s future descendants. For decades, they have worked to heal their world and its survivors, but their resources are finite. They need to reopen the Way.
An interdimensional gateway to a multiverse of realities, the Way was severed from Thistledown to stop an alien invasion and now exists as its own universe. Reopening the gate would not only benefit Earth but would also help the asteroid’s residents return home.
But on the alternate world of Gaia, Rhita Vaskayza, daughter of mathematician Patricia Vasquez, has taken up her mother’s cause to find her own Earth, one that was never touched by nuclear war. There is a gateway on Gaia that could lead Rhita there—or unleash an even greater apocalypse across the multiverse . . .
“Whether he’s tinkering with human genetic material or prying apart planets, Bear goes about the task with intelligence and a powerful imagination. Eternity offers many delights” (Locus).
