For readers who believe the most dangerous weapon is knowledge—
and the deadliest operative is someone who knows how to use it.

What if the CIA’s most powerful division wasn’t filled with assassins, but librarians?

Welcome to the Torrent Control Organization, where ancient grimoires are classified documents, magical artifacts require research credentials, and one brilliant CIA Librarian stands between humanity and supernatural catastrophe.

This series is for you if you want:

• A heroine who weaponizes research skills and treats spell books like the academic problem they are

• Urban fantasy that respects your intelligence (the magic has rules, the history is researched, the mythology matters)

• Globe-spanning adventures through the world’s most legendary libraries

• Competence you can believe in—watching someone master arcane knowledge under impossible pressure

• Found family and romantic tension that enhances the mission without overtaking it

• Escalating stakes that reward series readers (each grimoire hunt raises the danger level)

Jayne Thorne didn’t ask to stumble into a magical dimension. She just wanted to catalog manuscripts at Vanderbilt. But now she’s hunting five necromantic grimoires across the globe, each one capable of resurrecting a master magician and claiming their totem of power. The terror organizations want them. A secret magical society is dying to protect them. And Jayne’s the only one with the expertise to find them first.

What you’ll experience across six books:

• Dublin. Paris. Rome. Japan. The World Tree. (Yes, that World Tree.)

• Puzzles that require actual thinking, not just sword-swinging

• A magical system built on real occult history and ancient texts

• Relationships tested by impossible choices and cosmic stakes

• A mythology that deepens with every book (reread value is HIGH)

• The satisfaction of watching a quiet academic become the magical world’s last hope

The comparison you’re looking for: Think The Librarians meets The Dresden Files with the archaeological adventure of Indiana Jones, the found family warmth of Gilmore Girls, and a competence-focused heroine who proves that knowing which ancient text to consult is the ultimate superpower.

This isn’t paranormal romance wearing an urban fantasy costume. This is thinking person’s urban fantasy where the protagonist’s greatest weapon is her mind, her research skills save lives, and six grimoires stand between order and magical apocalypse.

Start with Book 1 for the full experience. Jayne’s learning curve is your introduction to a richly layered magical world that only gets more rewarding as the series progresses.

Binge all six if you’re ready to invest in a complete story arc with a beginning, middle, and earth-shattering conclusion.

The fate of magic rests in the hands of someone who knows how to use a card catalog. And honestly? That’s exactly who should be protecting us.
