A new dystopian/post-apocalyptic series from a New York Times bestselling author

My name is Theo, and I’m a resident of Oasis, the last habitable area on Earth. It’s meant to be a paradise, a place where we are all content. Vulgarity, violence, insanity, and other ills are but a distant memory, and even death no longer plagues us.

I was once content too, but now I’m different. Now I hear a voice in my head, and she tells me things no imaginary friend should know. Her name is Phoe, and she is my delusion.

King Arthur in outer space?

Endless warfare has ravaged Earth. Billions are desperate to escape.

Driven from her home and severed from her children, Taylan Ellis enlists with the Britannic Alliance, hoping she can help regain her homeland and find her kids.

Her ship, the Valiant, picks up a distress signal that leads to the mummified remains of an Iron Age chieftain. Then they discover the ‘mummy’ has a pulse.

Taylan suspects she knows who the mystery man is, but can she convince her superiors in time to save the BA, her country, and her children?

I thought witches were myth—until I moved to a secret town protected by magic. Turns out I’m a witch, and my powers will awaken on my nineteenth birthday.

I’m sent to a magic academy, where I’ll learn about the coven and prepare to meet our goddess. It’s there that I meet Lucas, a sexy warlock with an attitude. I shouldn’t be attracted to a guy like him, but he’s a puzzle I can’t figure out—and I find that beyond irresistible.

But there’s more on my mind than Lucas. If I don’t pass the goddess’s test to awaken my magic, I’ll be banished from the coven—and lose the only family I have left.

My name’s Lyra Ridley, and I run headlong into supernatural danger for a living.

The supernaturals are out of hiding.

All of humankind has been inflicted with magic of their own.

And my job protecting the streets of post-magic-revolution Las Vegas comes with a lot of occupational hazards…

So when I get suspended and some jackass takes my city hostage? Yeah, there’s going to be hell to pay.

Even if it means I have to team up with a mysterious supernatural I know nothing about—except that he has pointy ears, a rod up his backside, questionable priorities, and could kill me with his eyes closed.

My dragon partner likes him even less than I do. Then again, she doesn’t like anyone, including me most of the time. But I’m *pretty* sure she won’t barbecue either one of us…

Still, you’d better wish me luck.

Fans of Kim Harrison and Ilona Andrews, dive into this thrilling new world!

It’s just a scratch – a scratch that transforms the witch forever.

Already a witch at breaking point, I really can’t be dealing with the latest scandal affecting my life. I’m busy selling spells when my brother accidently kills a werewolf, attracting the wrath of my enemy, the Brighton Pack alpha, Malone. His attack leaves me with a scratch that turns me into the first ever hybrid-witch and solidifies my expulsion from the coven, leaving me all alone. I’m not sure how much more I can take.

When Malone smells his toxins in me, he vows to help me through the first shift. As alpha, his responsibility is to his pack and turning a witch is against sacred wolf laws. His pack will disown him if he doesn’t get rid of me. He’s ready to rectify his wrong, threatening to end my life, until I shift and the mating bond is evoked.

A cosmic event in 2015 fused earth with the faerie realm. Scientists refer to the event as the Anomaly. A byproduct of the Anomaly was the advent of hybrid beings – people who became mixed with whatever animal or object was nearest them the moment the Anomaly occurred. Humans, or Pedigrees, soon relegated fairy refugees and hybrids into ghetto zones in large cities.

Seventy years later, Wolfgang Rex, a second-generation hybrid human/Rhodesian Ridgeback – is a retired police detective who runs a private investigation business in Chicago’s Southside. It’s a one-hybrid show: though Rex couldn’t survive without his assistant, the faerie Sally Sandweb.

Trouble starts when two vampires visit Rex and offer him a substantial reward for the recovery of a stolen scroll. Followed by Charlotte Sweeney-Jarhadill, a Pedigree woman from Louisiana, wanting him to rid her home of a ghost.
