1-The Native Star, Read by Suehyla El-Attar, 13 hrs and 7 mins
The year is 1876. In the small Sierra Nevada settlement of Lost Pine, the town witch, Emily Edwards, is being run out of business by an influx of mail-order patent magics. Attempting to solve her problem with a love spell, Emily only makes things worse. But before she can undo the damage, an enchanted artifact falls into her possession – and suddenly Emily must flee for her life, pursued by evil warlocks who want the object for themselves. Dreadnought Stanton, a warlock from New York City whose personality is as pompous and abrasive as his name, has been exiled to Lost Pine for mysterious reasons. Now he finds himself involuntarily allied with Emily in a race against time – and across the United States by horse, train, and biomechanical flying machine – in quest of the great Professor Mirabilis, who alone can unlock the secret of the coveted artifact. But along the way, Emily and Stanton will be forced to contend with the most powerful and unpredictable magic of all: the magic of the human heart.

In a brilliant mix of magic, history, and romance, M. K. Hobson moves her feisty young Witch, Emily Edwards, from the Old West of 1876 to turn-of-the-century New York City, whose polished surfaces conceal as much danger as anything west of the Rockies. Like it or not, Emily has fallen in love with Dreadnought Stanton, a New York Warlock as irresistible as he is insufferable. Newly engaged, she now must brave Dreadnoughts family and the magical elite of the nations wealthiest city. Not everyone is pleased with the impending nuptials, especially Emilys future mother-in-law, a sociopathic socialite. But there are greater challenges still: confining couture, sinister Russian scientists, and a deathless Aztec goddess who dreams of plunging the world into apocalypse. With all they must confront, do Emily and Dreadnought have any hope of a happily-ever-after?

They’ve left the perils of New York City far behind and are returning to California on a magical railcar that sees to their every need. But an unexpected stop in New Orleans – home to a mysterious coven of powerful witches known as "The Ladies" – threatens to derail their future happiness. The Ladies are concerned about Emily’s continuing connection to the Spirit of the Earth, and they’ll stop at nothing to mitigate the damage they believe she’ll cause. If Emily and her not-husband hope to salvage their happily ever after, they’ll have to outwit the ladies and the gentlemen of the South’s magical elite. The Ladies and the Gentlemen is a standalone novella in M. K. Hobson’s Veneficas Americana series. It is set after the events of the first duology (The Native Star and The Hidden Goddess).
