Instead of mentors, they got monsters . . .
That's what Xerak, Vereez, and Grunwold think when three strange creatures shimmer into being within the circle of Hettua Shrine. Their conclusion is reasonable enough. After all, they've never seen humans before.
As for Margaret Blake, Peg Gallegos, and Tessa Brown-more usually known as Meg, Peg, and Teg-they're equally astonished but, oddly enough, better prepared. Age and experience have accustomed them to surprises. A widely varied course of reading material has intellectually prepared them for the idea that other worlds, even worlds where people with traits more commonly ascribed to 'animals' may exist.
Then there is the mysterious verse that Teg speaks as they arrive, words that seem to indicate that the Shrine must have been at least partially responding to the request made of it.
Despite doubts on all sides, the three unlikely mentors join forces with the three young 'inquisitors' and venture out into the world Peg dubs 'Over Where.' First they must find the Library of the Sapphire Wind, destroyed years before.
Will they find answers there, or is this only the first stage in their search?
Follow my heart and make a mess . . . That's putting it mildly.
My life has really taken a complicated turn here in Oakthorne. I keep hoping some fairy godmother will show up and offer to turn back time for me. Not too much, just enough to ease this pain. Yeah. Right.
As much as there's hurt, there's also Death. He is a complication, and a beautiful one I can't resist when I really, really should. He consumes my every waking moment, submerges me in raging desire I never want to break free from.
Damn.
On top of that messiness, there's a mystery to solve, a bad guy to defeat, and other new developments within myself to deal with.
So much to do. So much danger to face.
Where the hell is that fairy godmother?
The wolves are closing in . . .
Wolves have haunted Bryn since she was a child. Now, as Bryn and Rangar return to the Baersladen, they're met with danger as a savage and cursed wolf pack terrorizes villages throughout the Eyrie.
As Rangar fights to vindicate himself from those who seek to hurt him, Bryn embarks on a mage apprenticeship, utilizing her newfound skills to investigate the malevolent wolves-and which of their enemies created them to sow discord throughout the kingdoms.
Will danger and politics stand in the way of the wedding that will finally bind Bryn and Rangar forever?
Contains mature themes.
Every vice has a face.
You've probably heard of the seven deadly sins: Pride, Greed, Wrath, Envy, Lust, Gluttony, and Sloth.
There's a bit of each of these in everyone.
When the Seven Deadlies emerged from Hades, everything changed.
A single touch by the Deadly and you're infected . . . consumed with his vice.
Every vice kills in its own way. These vices are deadlier than I ever imagined. I have the power to stop them . . . but there's just one problem. Each one I kill with my powers empowers an ancient Akkadian god with designs on usurping every other pantheon and taking over the world.
I might need the help of an old friend if I stand a chance to stop these things.
Can Zoey and I stop the Seven Deadlies before the world is overwhelmed with vice?
Book number three in this fun, fierce, and fast-paced urban fantasy series is here.
Imogen's got some answers about her origins, and a promise from Rafael that he'll help to cure her immortality. But there's a few brand-new problems standing in her way . . .
A vicious pack of disenfranchised Alphas are on their way to Backman's shifter school, coming to try and reclaim what they think is rightfully theirs.
A stunning vampire princess with a ring on her finger arrives at the country club to stir up the worst kind of trouble for Rafael.
And Leroy's got a girlfriend. She's the worst.
Imogen's temper is at breaking point. What will happen when she finally snaps?
Ellasara came at me with a blade—and she defeated me. But my eyes open to my bedchambers, and I see Kingsnake sitting at my beside with Fang next to my pillow. I expect to feel the horrible pain of my injury, but I already feel healed. When I sit up, the room doesn’t spin and I don’t feel weak. In fact, I feel better than I ever have… Kingsnake takes my face in my hands and pulls me close. The relief in his chest is so palpable it’s like heat from the sun. But our beautiful moment is ruined by the horrible realization that I can’t feel my own heartbeat… Kingsnake was left with an impossible decision: either let me die or sacrifice my soul so I could live in the darkness forever. Instead of accepting that decision, I grieve instead for the life that I’ll never have. Now everything between us has changed. I told him I didn’t want to be a nightwalker—but he made me one anyway. Kingsnake and I still have to finish what we started, to form an alliance with The Ethereal and share the cure with the humans, but now it’s hard to be in the same room with him. We’ve found our way back to each other before…but I’m not sure how we’ll do it this time.
The highly anticipated sequel to the SUNDAY TIMES bestselling EMPIRE OF THE VAMPIRE
'Bloody brilliant'
V.E. Schwab
‘A ripping read’
Joe Abercrombie
Gabriel de León has saved the Holy Grail from death, but his chance to end the endless night is lost.
After turning his back on his silversaint brothers once and for all, Gabriel and the Grail set out to learn the truth of how Daysdeath might finally be undone.
But the last silversaint faces peril, within and without. Pursued by children of the Forever King, drawn into wars and webs centuries in the weaving, and ravaged by his own rising bloodlust, Gabriel may not survive to see the truth of the Grail revealed.
A truth that may be too awful for any to imagine.
Svera There are a few things my Tri-God did not prepare me for. The first? Niahhorru pirates. They want the coordinates to an unprotected human satellite, and I have them. The confusing? The human Council's secrets that I've uncovered and that may get me killed. The most sinful? The pressure in my stomach...well, lower than my stomach...that draws me to the male who hates me most in this universe. Krisxox There's nothing my warrior training did not prepare me for. Even though my body desires to bond to hers, I'll fight until I break it. She's a disgusting human, filthy and impure, a worshipper of a fickle human god and, worst of all, not Drakesh. Nox, that isn't the worst. Worse, is that she's got space pirates, traitors, and other enemies chasing her. Worst, is that I won't let them touch her because she's my Xiv—nox! I'll fight. But fighting is harder when I don't really want to win... Taken to Heimo is a full-length sci-fi space-opera romance complete with an angry alien and a head-scarf-wearing human heroine who is far too polite to meet anger with anger...at least most of the time. It is book 4 in the Xiveri mates series and should be read after books 1 and 2. Books 3, 6, and 8 are complete standalones (on other planets) and can be read at any point. Trigger warning! The heroine in this book is attacked more than once ,and there are multiple violent battle scenes before reaching the HEA.
