Fight. Survive. Repeat.

The rules of a soldier are simple.

Born into service of the Regime, Commander Sela Tyron is about as subtle as a hammer. To hammers, any problem can look like a nail, but things aren’t always that easy. When Sela is abandoned with her team on a planet full of insurrectionists, things get complicated.

A daredevil rescue by her commanding officer reaps deadly consequences, forcing Sela to choose between the only life she’s ever known and the fate of the man she’s duty-bound to protect.

Her whole life was a lie. And that’s the good news.

Shirking a life of privilege, Erelah Veradin dreamt of building spaceships to explore the stars in the service of the Regime. Yet a monstrous truth about her true heritage is revealed, placing Erelah at the center of a scheming mastermind’s bid for power.

If you love gritty, epic space opera like The Expanse or Firefly, this premier title in the Allies and Enemies series launches you on the ride of a lifetime. Voted Dragon Award Finalist for Best Military Science Fiction or Fantasy Novel by Dragon Con and a Kindle Book Award Finalist.

Suit up. Time to join the fight.

My magic made me the Harbinger of Chaos. My temper made me an outcast. I am the force that can break the kingdom.
And now I’m tied to him…

As strange monsters terrorise the land of Cornovii, the life of an exiled mage is thrown into turmoil when a half-dead warrior is brought to her door.

With no other choice, tapping into the depths of her magic, Lady Inanuan of Thorn inextricably links her life to Captain Marcach of Liath, pulling him away from the jaws of death. However, the witch learns that no good deed goes unpunished, not even if you’re friends with the Forest God.

The body count rises, and soon Ina must use the forbidden spell again to save the captain’s best friend, Sa’Ren, and the connection her magic forges with both men awakens not only dark desires but also an ancient bloodline and creates an intense rivalry threatening to break warrior’s friendship.

Unwilling to give up her new freedom, Ina must follow the clues to uncover the truth behind the plague of monsters, all while she struggles with unwanted passion toward the two men. But will the witch who doesn’t believe in love be able to deny her feelings as she attempts to clear her name, or will the kingdom fall before she can solve the mystery?

Featured Fantasy: Wrighting Old Wrongs (World Wrights Book 1) by Maria Grace

New Release
Click for current price: Amazon US, United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, Australia

Controlling Fire, Earth, Water, and Air with a simple touch would have been much more impressive if it paid the bills.

For nearly 200 years, the Wrights have controlled the Elements, shaping them to their will. But, the new era of industrialization threatens their extinction. Journeyman Wright Rebecca Fuller has more important things to worry about, though, like paying bills and keeping a roof over her head. Unfortunately, she inherited her father’s debts along with his shop. With the Guild limiting her prices, even a brisk business barely makes ends meet.

If only the Guild would consider her application for Mastery. But between having the audacity to be female and studying under the most unconventional Master in the Guild, her chances were as thin as Air.

Unfortunately for Guild Undersecretary David Enright, barrister, procedural maven, and all-around rule-follower, the Guild violated its own rules where Rebecca was concerned. With her irascible temper and unorthodox approach to working the Elements, she’s exactly what he wants most to avoid. Unfortunately, he can’t simply ignore her.

Rule-following aside, though, what she knows, what she can do, could be the key to saving the Wrights from extinction.

Audacious barely describes David’s strategy to right old wrongs. If Rebecca agrees, his plan could solve both their problems—or cost them everything.

An exciting new gaslamp fantasy adventure from the author of Jane Austen’s Dragons perfect for fans of Gail Carriger, Charlie Holmberg, AJ Lancaster and V. E. Schwab.

The interstellar array which links worlds together wakes to find it has enemies…

The Fourth Carinad Empire stretches across hundreds of settled worlds and stellar cities, and thousands of light years. The Empire’s people and data are linked by a space-folding gates array controlled by the Emperor and his cohorts. When the array evolves into a sentient entity, it recognizes the Emperor as its foe.

Danny Andela, once known as The Imperial Hammer, withdrew from the Imperial Rangers decades ago, her reputation in tatters. She lives on her family’s star barge, waiting to die of a rare disease: old age. She would be the array’s perfect weapon against the Emperor, except she no longer gives a damn—about anything.

Then Danny learns that the military disaster which essentially ended her life might possibly have been arranged by the Emperor himself…

What do you do with a drunken sailor when the world is underwater?

In a brutal dystopian water world, where survival depends on skill and smarts, Bird Howsley is a beautiful disaster. A drunken sailor, a sharp-tongued back-talker, and a magnet for chaos, Bird is one bad decision away from watching her life go completely down the drain.

Her only lifeline? Level-headed sailing teacher, Sargo Paz. Sargo is a second-generation immigrant striving to prove himself in a city where no one looks like him, and despite Bird’s salty demeanor, he seems determined not to give up on her.

But when a cryptic message from her dead brother sets Bird on a quest to find answers about her past, one reckless act puts her and Sargo in the crosshairs of a dangerous underground organization hell-bent on their demise.

Forced to flee their hometown, they embark on a treacherous voyage across the Salt – where pirates, perilous seas and close quarters stir up emotions neither of them expected, and they discover that the organization they’re running from holds darker secrets than they ever imagined…
