Something is very wrong in Shipsfeather... Welcome to the strange and wonderful world of Shipsfeather, Ohio, where an ancient race of dog-shifters has been charged with cataloging the knowledge of the world, and with protecting civilization’s libraries from the machinations of evil, book burning werewolves. For years a curse has imprisoned the dog-shifters in the basement of the Shipsfeather library—where they have made the best of things with a gym, a spa, a Starbarks, and, of course, their wildly successful internet company, Zoogle—but now, thanks to librarian Liberty Cutter and her zany staff, they may actually have a chance to break free again. If only they can convince her to believe in magic…

Praise for the Shapeshifters' Library series: "A ridiculously creative story!" - Melissa's Mochas, Mysteries and More "An enthralling story full of mysteries, magic and shifters." --InD Tale Magazine Dog-shifters are once again pitted against the book-burning werewolves of Shipsfeather in this charming second installment of the Shapeshifters' Library series. Godiva Anglesey, Chocolate Labrador, and the ruggedly handsome English Mastiff Cynerik are forced to team up against power-hungry werewolves when Cynerik discovers an ancient Ohio mound that may hold answers to their shifter history in the New World. Knowing that the secrets of the mound could give the dog-shifters an advantage in the ongoing contest for power, Pack Alpha Sybilla challenges the timid Godiva to a battle for the territory. Godiva, who has no interest in battling anyone, must turn from running her small town library and train for a challenge she knows she has no chance of winning. She has enough on her hands with a malicious book-worm infestation, a censorship campaign, and a lawsuit. Just when she thinks things couldn't get any worse, Godiva's mother announces that family tradition dictates that Godiva must be married by Summer Solstice... to a Druid. Godiva doesn't even know any Druids. All Godiva ever wanted was to live a simple life, retrieving books for library patrons and keeping people happy. She's no hero, and she doesn't have what it takes to face down werewolves or save the world. Cynerik, however, believes differently. Together they must find a way to defeat the werewolves, save the Shipsfeather library, protect the most important archeological discovery in dog-shifter history, restore the dogs to global power... and, just maybe, find love along the way. "...a well considered, zany fantasy." --Jellyfish Day

“A fantastic novel"
 --Midwest Book Review 
 From the award-winning author of THE SHAPESHIFTERS' LIBRARY series, RELEASED and RETRIEVED, comes the long awaited third installment! 
Bliss D. Light was just an ordinary children’s librarian until one day she discovered she could grow a tail. Now her life is filled with more magic than any of the fairy tales she tells the children who gather at her feet at the Shipsfeather library. Like many of the other residents of Shipsfeather, Ohio, Bliss is a dogshifter, and her newly discovered ability to change from human form into that of a sleek white greyhound has left her yearning to know more about her true heritage. The answer to all her questions, she is certain, lies with the dogshifters’ long lost Library of the Ancients and, undeterred by the fact that thousands before her have searched, she sets out to find it.
 Accompanied by her best friend Harry, a disgraced werewolf/dogshifter mongrel, and hotly pursued by the evil werewolf team of Sybilla and Blaze, Bliss’s quest takes her across the sacred sites and ancient mounds of the American Southwest. Though kidnapped by dogcatchers, sold into racetrack slavery and forced to fight wolf dogs to survive, Harry and Bliss never lose sight of their goal—or each other. Because the only thing more important than finding the ancient lost treasure might just be preserving what they already have found: an unlikely love that could be the first step toward bringing two ancient enemy races together.
