Веками расы амарантов жили бок о бок с людьми, но лишь немногие избранные знали об их существовании. Но однажды таинственные полулюди-полузвери вышли из тени на свет — и привычный мир изменился навсегда. Двадцатилетняя сирота Цумико Хадзимэ почти ничего не знает об амарантах. Внезапно она становится наследницей огромного состояния, владелицей роскошного особняка и хозяйкой дворецкого… которого никак нельзя назвать человеком. Связанный заклятиями, как цепями, Арджент из клана Меттлбрайтов столетиями был обречен служить древнему роду Хадзимэ. Новая госпожа, наивная и неопытная, — его шанс вырваться на свободу. И если для этого нужно выпить до дна чистую душу Цумико — что ж, тем хуже для нее. Ведь всем хорошо известно — лисам нельзя доверять!
One bachelor is love-shy. One is unrequited. One is much-loved. One is blindsided.
Argent Mettlebright knows how to keep a secret safe, but it's only a matter of time before someone notices that Hisoka Twineshaft has disappeared from the political arena. With tensions on the rise, the world needs his leadership more than ever.
Nobody wants to help Sensei more than Isla Ward, but his door is barred against her. Right, then. She has a plan, and she has a co-writer. Maybe with their next book, her hopes will finally reach her mentor.
With spring's arrival, Stately House's enclave stands ready to welcome a Scattering. The estate has never been more secure, but Tsumiko wouldn't call the resulting sanctuary peaceful. Too many battered souls. Too many wistful glances. But with the help of a dragon bard's lullabies and an impish crosser's confidence, she leads her ever-growing family.
Seeds to plant. Imps to hatch. Winds to change. Rogues to lure. Hearts to win. Vows to keep. Lives to share.
She could make a mess of everything. Especially him.
The Junzi-also known as the Four Gentlemen-are a set of ancient weapons fashioned from remnants. Dragons refer to them as the Four Storms, and Hisoka Twineshaft believes they will make a difference in the hunt for the rogue. But someone else is interested in gathering up these crystal masterpieces. The so-called Gentleman Bandit is responsible for two thefts already, and Hisoka is concerned for the Bamboo Stave. So he deploys an elite taskforce to guard the treasure. And to catch a thief.
Juuyu Farroost and his teammates regroup at a safehouse tucked under the boughs of one of the oldest-and most heavily fortified-orphan trees in the Americas. Fumiko and her tree twin have enough rooms for all of them. If they can shift enough of the woman's clutter to set up their equipment. Juuyu's expertise is essential to the success of their mission, but he can barely focus thanks to Fumiko, her messes, and Akira, who apparently owes Boon a favor.
This summer is his last chance to win his first love.
Wardenclave has always been a place of secrets and sway. For most of the year, the remote mountain village is closed off from the rest of the world, but each spring, they issue invitations to the most promising young reavers all over the world. Summer skill camps provide opportunities for the elite to train with the best. And by longstanding tradition, for teens of the In-between to evaluate the compatibility of their peers. Glint Starmark's reputation as a matchmaker has been holding true for millennia.
At seventeen, Mikoto Reaver is the youngest headman in Wardenclave's history. He's had very little time to adjust to his new role before their close-knit community opens its doors to children of pedigree, the specialists who will mentor them, an allotment of battlers, and a celebrity or two. Glint means well, but Mikoto won't commit until he can speak to the only girl he's ever loved. There's just something about her.
Governed by Whimsy: The Anthology is a collection of short stories set in Forthright's Amaranthine universe. Before the Emergence, the clans were nothing more than whispers and mysteries and legends and lore. But every so often-in out-of-the-way places or shockingly close to home-an unsuspecting person stumbled into a fateful encounter with someone who was decidedly other. An eclectic collection, spanning continents and centuries. Tales of adventure, discovery, friendship, rescue, belonging, and love.
Marked by Stars: A wolf without a pack and a boy in need of roots become founders.
Followed by Thunder: One sister, a pure light that beckons, the other, a fierce light that burns.
Dragged through Hedgerows: He had one job. Becoming a family pet wasn't it.
Governed by Whimsy: His whims drove off her predecessors. Her whimsy drives him to distraction.
In doing her part for world peace, she puts one crosser's whole world at risk.
Conspiracy theories, werewolf scares, and protest rallies have hampered the peace process in America, where social and political unrest keep most Amaranthine from declaring themselves. Those not in seclusion rely heavily on illusion to mask their true nature.
As the newly appointed principal of a small elementary school, Tamiko Reaverson is doing her part for world peace. She rallies her community's support and applies for Hisoka Twineshaft's school revitalization project, which will bring Amaranthine to her hometown. Little does Tami realize that Fletching was founded by one of the oldest and largest urban enclaves in the United States. And two of her staunchest supporters-janitors at her school-share a secret neither wants exposed.
She wasn't aware of her gift's significance, yet he expects to be courted.
Kimiko enrolls at the In-between's prestigious new high school, which is designed to promote the integration of the human and inhuman races. As a reaver, she's supposed to act as peacemaker, bridging a formidable cultural gap, but the other two members of her triad don't need any help in that department. Akira and Suuzu have been friends since middle school. Instead, the boys must rally behind Kimiko when she inadvertently initiates a courtship with Eloquence Starmark.
Tsumiko inherits an ancestral home, a vast fortune, and a butler who isn't exactly human.
Humanity is rocked by the Emergence of a people who call themselves the Amaranthine. They are our myths and legends come to life. Neither human nor animal, yet embracing qualities of both, the inhuman races inspire both awe and fear. Every newsfeed is clogged with updates about the peace process, but some places don't concern themselves with worldly affairs. Like the girls' school run by Saint Midori's of the Heavenly Lights, where Tsumiko Hajime grew up.
A letter from a long-lost aunt names Tsumiko heiress to an ancestral estate and its accompanying fortune. Only the legacy comes with an aloof heirloom: an inhuman butler. Argent has served the Hajime family for centuries, and Tsumiko must renew the generational bond or he'll die. Argent hates her for the hold she has over him, but he craves her soul almost as much as he craves his freedom.
