The Wild Ways (Enchantment Emporium, Bk 2)
The Wild Ways - Enchantment Emporium, Bk 2 Author:Tanya Huff The Gales can change the world with the charms they cast, and they like to keep all this power in the family. Some people might describe them as witches, and most of their neighbors have long since learned that it's not a good idea to get the Gales riled up, especially not at certain times of the year. — The Gale Aunties rule the family, or t... more »hey think they do. And cousins Allie and Charlie have found themselves beset by too many Aunties trying to control them. Now that Allie has settled down and has her own Gale circle in Calgary, the Aunties are focusing even more attention on Charlie. She wishes they'd just leave her alone. After all, she has a steady job with an up and coming country and western band and a great home in Calgary.
But the truth is Charlie Gale is a Wild Power and there's nothing wild about the life she's living. So she ditches it to join a Celtic Rock band on the summer festival circuit. All Charlie wants to do is play music and have a good time. She has no plans to get involved in a local fight against offshore oil drilling ... fought by an extended family of Selkies against an oil company willing to employ the most horrific means to get what they want. They've hired one of the Gale Aunties to steal the Selkies' sealskins.
To return the skins to their rightful owners and stop a potential environmental disaster, Charlie will have to face off against Auntie Catherine, another Wild Power. To have any hope of winning, Charlie will have to learn what born to be Wild means in the Gale family -- then teach it to Jack, a Dragon Prince trying to be a real boy -- all while attempting corporate espionage with a seal-wife who won't stop crying.« less
