Neither servant of Heaven. Nor slave of Hell.

Ardan learned the deadly secrets of the forest at his father’s side. The danger of the wild never lied to him.

The city did.

When his father is murdered in a Barleron alley, Ardan is left with grief, a steel blade, and a hunger for vengeance. Then the blade erupts in green flame—a power older than Heaven or Hell, one that responds to his anger, fear, and need to hunt the man who tore his family apart.

His mother is missing. His father’s killer walks free. With his family scattered, Ardan takes shelter among mercenaries and reaches again and again for the Wild.

But the Wild is under attack, and whatever is hunting it has already reached Barleron. Every time Ardan grips the power, it grips back. His senses sharpen. His instincts change. And the closer he gets to his answers, the less certain he is which of them is doing the hunting.

Complete at four books, The Blood & Flame Saga is a fast-paced, spice-free fantasy perfect for fans of Eragon and Throne of Glass, following an assassin raised by a dragonlord who must choose between the only family she’s ever known and the kingdom she was trained to destroy.

Book one in a sci-fi space thriller trilogy: Jax is a lowly dome operator on a distant planet who becomes a fugitive when he is accused of murder. His only ally is Runstom, the rogue cop that believes he’s innocent. The pair must risk everything to prove Jax didn’t commit the atrocity and uncover the truth before they both wind up dead.

Humanity’s first encounter with intelligent alien life should have changed history. Instead, it started a war.

Thanks to her offbeat mother, Shade’s full name is Galactic Shade Griffin. Having a name like that while being the new girl in school is pretty much catnip for bullies. In her junior year of high school, her mom unwittingly moves them to a haunted house. The one good thing to come out of that: Shade discovers she’s a ghost whisperer, a person ghosts contact when they need help, sometimes to solve their own murder.

After graduating from high school, Shade attends a college for the magically gifted where she continues to solve crimes related to ghosts and other magical creatures. She also makes friends with students who have other magical skills: faeries, witches, selkies, shapeshifters and more. Sent abroad as a foreign exchange student during her senior year, she continues to solve crimes in the world of the paranormal. In Scotland, she even helps Nessie the Loch Ness Monster!

Every bloodline has a secret. Hers has claws. Scarlett Vecchio was supposed to inherit a future-not a curse. Guided by an ancient legacy, a blood-red hood, and the wolf she once feared, Scarlett embraces the darkness to become something far more terrifying than the evil she hunts. Every legend has an origin. This is hers.

From combat veteran Christian Warren Freed is the all new military science fiction Crimson Spiders series. Based on the D Day campaign of WWII, Zero Hour begins a fight for conquered planet. The Crimson Spiders are dropped behind enemy lines before the ground invasion. It is the battle of their lives. One they are not guaranteed to survive. Fans of action packed military scifi will love this opening salvo of the series.

Generations from now, in a grim, dog-eat-dog dystopian future mega-city that has long since dropped any facade of pretending to care about the welfare of its millions of inhabitants — seemingly more concerned with its dead than its living — Elias never wanted much. Just to earn enough credits every week to survive the grind of city life, and keep the people he owed off his back.

His latest run of bad luck carries him onto a rain-soaked rooftop, four storeys up, seemingly with nowhere left to go.

What happens next isn’t what he expects — and it probably isn’t what you’d expect either — a quiet, unmoored reckoning with everything his struggling existence had become, carried somewhere far stranger, far larger, than anything the sprawling, uncaring city he’d always fought the odds just to survive in, had ever let him imagine.
