What happens when a girl set on revenge meets an infuriating prince? Sparks fly and tempers rise. Yes, Zora cheated her way into the Royal games, but it was for a very good reason: spite. But when she gets entangled with three royal brothers and has to face a mysterious assassin, things get slightly complicated. Nothing a stubborn girl can’t handle. Throne of Glass meets Minecraft in this fun, fast-paced, enemies-to-lovers YA fantasy.

Court-martialed and dumped on a reject raft bound for Earth, Lieutenant Cal Harper feels optimistic about a life where getting blown up, shot, or even eaten is altogether less of a concern.

Unfortunately, fate doesn’t favor the mundane. Crash-landing on a lethal planet, Cal must take his fellow passengers under his wing in order to survive and unravel the reasons behind their plight.

But the cause is far worse than any of them could have imagined, for theirs is a small part of a much larger crisis. Colonized space is under attack. Humanity is on the verge of chaos. And those who enjoy such anarchy are already beginning to thrive.

Yet Cal and his new companions will discover that mankind isn’t the true threat, not by a long shot.

How hard can hunting pirates be? Surely just a case of following the path of destruction?

After eight months of searching, Cal and his crew haven’t come close to finding Kaia. Taken by pirates during the rescue of Federation survivors, her fate remains uncertain. But so too is the fate of humanity itself…

Following their invasion, the Insidions have remained eerily silent, letting their impact spread throughout colonized space. Riding on that building chaos, the pirates are proving increasingly organized. So much so that Cal fears a leader may have arisen—one powerful enough to unite the disparate clans.

But, Cal isn’t about to give up his search, not by a long shot, and his crew are sticking with him every step of the way.

Trouble, however, is brewing in ways few could have predicted, and fortunately or not, Cal and his friends have a talent for finding the worst of it.

The Last Faoii is the powerful and immersive introduction to the Faoii Chronicles.

The Faoii have protected Clearwall with both magic and blade for generations. But when her monastery is attacked and her sisters slaughtered, only young Kaiya is left alive.

Forced to cope without the traditions of her Order, Kaiya travels the country on a mission to avenge her sisters and preserve her heritage. The search brings her not only to dark discoveries and ancient family secrets, but also to something she never wanted or dreamed of: an estranged brother.

Thrust into a war at the heart of a broken empire, the siblings face a dark past and darker future while Kaiya learns the true state of the world outside her monastery’s walls, the true threat of the army seeping across the land, and her own innate abilities as the last of her kind.
