On the planet Kelanni, life is cheap.

With the aid of the fearsome “Keltar” enforcers in their flying cloaks, a ruthless invader is forcing the native population to mine the colloquially named “lodestone” – a substance from another universe with infinitely destructive power.

The only ones who can stop him are a tiny girl with a fiery disposition, a former Keltar, a failed revolutionary, a musician and the mysterious creature Boxx, who seems to speak only in riddles…

Pursued by Keltar, the party will encounter bizarre creatures, ancient technologies and terrifying dangers. Finally, they must seek to cross a massive storm barrier in order to reach the other side of their world …

A ruthless usurper. A rebellion’s spark. One chance to reclaim the stars.

Evan and Anya refuse to back down as Rostov’s regime tightens its chokehold, purging dissidents across the Commonwealth. But as evidence of Rostov’s atrocities spreads, the core worlds rally to disrupt the enemy’s grip.

Leading the rebellion from the shadows, Evan and Anya strike Syndicate outposts with daring raids to arm the oppressed. But with a fight on multiple fronts, Roman’s inside connections could make all the difference—if he can be trusted.

As every victory draws Rostov’s wrath closer, Evan and Anya are on the verge of finally getting answers about the Korani. However, evidence mounts that the fate of the alien civilization may be inextricably tied to the Commonwealth’s own future.

With cities burning, can Evan and Anya topple the regime’s power in time to prepare for the mounting galactic threat?

Last Stand is the thrilling fourth installment in the Starship of the Ancients series. If you like action-packed space adventures with alien tech, dynamic characters, and interstellar intrigue, then you’ll love this immersive space opera by author A.K. DuBoff, creator of the Cadicle Universe.

First book in a completed series of five lighthearted, fast-paced, and twisty mysteries!

Every town has its secrets, but no one has a secret like hers.

Amber Blackwood, lifelong resident of Edgehill, Oregon, has earned a reputation for being a semi-reclusive odd duck. Her store, The Quirky Whisker, is full of curiosities, from extremely potent sleepy teas and ever-burning candles to kids’ toys that seem to run endlessly without the aid of batteries. The people of Edgehill think of the Quirky Whisker as an integral part of their feline-obsessed town, but most give Amber herself a wide berth. Amber prefers it that way; it keeps her secret safe. But that secret is thrown into jeopardy when Amber’s friend Melanie is found dead, a vial of headache tonic from Amber’s store clutched in her hand.

Edgehill’s newest police chief has had it out for Amber since he arrived three years before. He can’t possibly know she’s a witch, but his suspicions about her odd store and even odder behavior have shot her to the top of his suspect list. When the Edgehill rumor mill finds out Melanie was poisoned, it’s not only the police chief who looks at Amber differently. Determined to both find justice for her friend and to clear her own name, Amber must use her unique gifts to help track down Melanie’s real killer. A quest that threatens much more than her secret …

In an enchanted English village filled with chocolate spells, quaint traditions, and family secrets, one budding witch must master the art of magic, solve puzzling mysteries… and maybe even find love!

Since arriving in the enchanted village of Tillyhenge, Caitlyn is discovering that there are lots of perks to being part of a witchy family—especially when there’s a magical chocolate shop involved! (Although sadly, magic still can’t make your thighs thinner or stop you acting like an idiot every time you meet the handsome Lord James Fitzroy!)

But when the nasty housekeeper at Huntingdon Manor meets an untimely end and Caitlyn becomes the main suspect, she finds herself surrounded by suspicious villagers. With the help of her sassy American cousin and a naughty black kitten—not to mention her grumpy mentor, the old village witch—Caitlyn sets out to clear her name.

She soon realises that there’s more brewing than meets the eye. Her quest for answers leads her to an ancient ring with mythical powers – a ring that some would stop at nothing to claim. But with a few clever spells and some quirky chocolate magic, Caitlyn just might solve the mystery – and find her real family too!

** If you love tropes like: found family, enchanted villages, cozy magic, magical pets, magical baking, witchy vibes, feel-good mystery, slow burn romance, cottagecore, chocolate shop fantasy, aristocratic romantic hero… this is the book for you!

The first in a “fresh” (Jason M. Hough, New York Times bestselling author) sci-fi space opera that follows a powerful planetary assassin who can destroy planets with a single word but is suddenly faced with an adversary that threatens the entire known universe.

Far in the future, human beings have seeded themselves amongst the stars. Since decoding the language of the universe 8,000 years ago, they have reached the very edges of their known galaxy and built a near-utopia across thousands of worlds, united and ruled by a powerful organization known as the Ascendance. The peaceful stability of their society relies solely on their use of this Deep Language of the cosmos.

But this knowledge is a valuable secret, and a holy order of monastics known as the First House are tasked with monitoring its use and “correcting” humanity’s further development. Elyth is one such mendicant, trained as a planetary assassin, capable of infiltrating and ultimately destroying worlds that have been corrupted, using nothing more than her words.

To this end, Elyth is sent to the world Qel in response to the appearance of a forbidden strain of the Deep Language that was supposed to have died out with its founder over seven hundred years prior. What she finds on the backwater planetoid will put her abilities to the test and challenge what she knows of the Deep Language, the First House, and the very nature of the universe.
