Escape on a journey from the ordinary to the extraordinary with award-winning fantasy editor Paula Guran. This superbly curated collection explores myth and fable, dark and light—a heroic creature facing a dangerous demon; an earthly love facing the mossy decay of death. With tales of living ball gowns and timid monsters, of modern witches and multidimensional magic, these twenty-four stories will transport you from fantastical realms that push the limits of imagination to alternative realities mirroring much of our own.

No-Body Homicides examines how police and prosecutors have become more successful in obtaining convictions for homicide when the remains of the victim are unavailable as evidence. Based on an examination of over 600 cases in the United States and Canada, this book shows the length some killers will go to avoid punishment and the determination of police and prosecutors to bring them to justice.

The third and final installment of the thrilling trilogy: The Loro Chronicles Rowan's theatrics in Westland City and Damien's killing of the Greys have fast become legendary throughout Loro. They are recognized most places they visit, but they do not feel very heroic. It has been seven months since Zaanen destroyed Axis' altar and regained his full strength, yet he still evades them at all costs. Rowan, Damien, and Brine have searched tirelessly for the dark wizard to no reward. To make matters worse, Zaanen has formed an army that marches closer to the Valsguard border each day.

The problem, say Tony Davila and Marc Epstein, is that the very processes and structures responsible for established companies' enduring success prevent them from developing breakthroughs. This is the innovation paradox.
