M"The Illinir may be over, but the race for Enderlain's future has just begun. The hunt for the old king's lost heir is on, and the first to find them will win the throne. Mikira has allied herself with the rebels in pursuit of the heir, but the deeper her search takes her, the closer she gets to the royal family's wicked past. Ari is struggling to control her own growing power as she grapples with a dark secret that may be her undoing - and the truth behind Damien's greatest foe. Damien, the new head of House Adair, joins the race to find the royal successor and secure the crown. But as his influence at court grows, so do his paranoia and hunger for power. Reid is trying his best to stay true to the friend who's always had his loyalty - and the flame who has his heart - while trapped in a web of chaos and lies. All the while, a darker force is festering in Enderlain's underbelly. Mikira, Ari, Damien, and Reid will need to find a way back to one another - and themselves - before the kingdom is torn apart. Hearts will be broken and new bonds will be forged in this explosive finale to This Dark Descent, where spellbinding fantasy meets Jewish mythology in a cut-throat race for the throne - and humanity's survival." --Grades 10-12.Ages 14-18.

The magic of the Sword of Moses : a practical guide to its spells, amulets, and ritual / by Roth, Harold,(Authority on plants)Author(DLC)n 2016056988; Peterson, Joseph H.Writer of forewordnullauthor of introduction, etc.(DLC)n 00103713;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 163-165) and index."A practical guide to the famed medieval book of pre-kabbalistic Jewish magic, freshly interpreted and revealed for the first time with instructions on how to use the spells. The Sword of Moses is one of the earliest Jewish magic books, which describes a rite for adjuring angels to assist in controlling and wielding the "Sword of Moses" for magical purposes. The rite involves a short period of purification and then the adjuring of four sets of angels, each higher than the last. These angels in turn give the magician the power to control the Sword through a series of divine names that work as magical spells. The spells, 137 in all, have a wide variety of uses, including healing, harm, love, sex, exorcising demons, divination, and more. This work was first translated by Moses Gaster in 1896, but he removed many of the spells, making the text unusable for magic. The Magic of the Sword of Moses is the first book to show in detail, exactly how a magician can use the Sword-how to do the purification ritual, adjure the angels, and pronounce and use the divine names for each spell"--"The Sword of Moses is one of the earliest Jewish magic books, written sometime between 1075-1100 CE.

Wrath becomes her / by Polydoros, Aden,author.;
"Lithuania, 1943. A father drowns in the all-consuming grief of a daughter killed by the Nazis. He can't bring Chaya back from the dead, but he can use kishuf, an ancient and profane magic to create a golem in her image. A Nazi killer, to avenge her death. When Vera awakens, she can feel her violent purpose thrumming within her. But she can also feel glimpses of a human life lived, of stolen kisses amidst the tragedy, and of a grisly death. And when she meets Akiva, she recognizes the boy with soft lips that gave warm kisses. But these memories aren't hers, and Vera doesn't know if she gets or deserves to have a life beyond what she was made for. Vera's strength feels limitless until she learns that there are others who would channel kishuf for means far less noble than avenging a daughter's death. As she confronts the very basest of humanity, Vera will need more than what her creator gave her: Not just a reason to fight, but a reason to live"--Accelerated Reader AR
