And when mysterious circumstances bring her back, she never expects to stay, dealing with one mystical mishap after another.

It’s enough to drive a girl batty.

When the tavern fool is found floating in a vat of green beer at the local Irish pub, Samm can’t help but get charmed into the case.
She’s stuck in a town named after a hairy beast with her fiancé-turned-frog – what else has she got to do?

Besides, she might have been the last one to see Old Man Callahan alive…

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Together in one volume—the first three books in the world’s most beloved science-fiction series!

DRAGONFLIGHT

On a beautiful world called Pern, an ancient way of life is about to come under attack. Lessa is an outcast survivor—her parents murdered, her birthright stolen—a strong young woman who has never stopped dreaming of revenge. But when an ancient threat reemerges, Lessa will rise—upon the back of a great dragon with whom she shares a telepathic bond more intimate than any human connection. Together, dragon and rider will fly, and Pern will be changed forever.

DRAGONQUEST

Since Lessa and Ramoth, her golden queen dragon, traveled into the past to bring forward a small army of dragons and riders to save their world from deadly alien spores, fear and desperation have spread across the land. But while the dragonriders struggle with threats both human and otherworldly, a young rider named F’nor and his brown dragon, Canth, hatch a bold plan to destroy the alien scourge at its source—the baleful Red Star that fills the heavens and promises doom to all. 

THE WHITE DRAGON

Never in the history of Pern has there been a dragon like Ruth. Mocked by other dragons for his small size and pure white color, Ruth is smart, brave, and loyal—qualities that he shares with his rider, the young Lord Jaxom. Unfortunately, Jaxom is also looked down upon by his fellow lords, and by other riders as well. His dreams of joining the dragonriders in defending Pern are dismissed. What else can Jaxom and Ruth do but strike out on their own, pursuing in secret all they are denied? But in doing so, the two friends will find themselves facing a desperate choice—one that will push their bond to the breaking point . . . and threaten the future of Pern itself.

From the New York Times–bestselling author, a teen is transformed into one of the legendary horseman of the apocalypse in this YA urban fantasy.

For eighteen-year-old Gideon Blake, nothing but death can keep him from achieving his goal of becoming a U.S. Army Ranger. As it turns out, it does.

Recovering from the accident that most definitely killed him, Gideon finds himself with strange new powers and a bizarre cuff he can’t remove. His death has brought to life his real destiny. He has become War, one of the legendary four horsemen of the apocalypse.

Over the coming weeks, he and the other horsemen—Conquest, Famine, and Death—are brought together by a beautiful but frustratingly secretive girl to help save humanity from an ancient evil on the emergence.

They fail.

Now—bound, bloodied, and drugged—Gideon is interrogated by the authorities about his role in a battle that has become an international incident. If he stands any chance of saving his friends and the girl he’s fallen for—not to mention all of humankind—he needs to convince the skeptical government officials the world is in imminent danger.

But will anyone believe him?

“Rossi has laid the groundwork for an intense new series sure to be loved by the author’s fans. Intense enough for reluctant readers yet sophisticated enough to entice those who enjoy books with a military background and lots of action.” —School Library Journal, starred review

Some destinies are prisons. Some families are curses. And some witches refuse to be tamed.

Sage Brighton was born to serve. As a Queen witch, her life – and her magic – belong to an immortal Lady who demands absolute loyalty. Along the mist-shrouded cliffs of the Pacific Northwest, Sage and her twin sister Wren are trained to be the Lady’s most powerful Hands. But behind the family’s shining legacy, secrets fester and rebellion stirs.

When Wren’s recklessness threatens to expose them, Sage must choose: cling to the crumbling world she was raised to protect – or risk everything to forge her own future.

In a house built on loyalty and lies, survival may cost Sage her soul.

Perfect for readers who love atmospheric magic, fierce heroines, dark family secrets, and slow-burn rebellion.

CSI meets fantasy – with a dash of cozy!

Trouble is brewing in Hallow’s Promise…

Rae wants to steep in the success of her magic potion wagon, BREW-TEA-FUL, and sell drinks that help the residents of Hallow’s Promise. She certainly doesn’t want to assist the town’s investigator in solving another murder. Except this crime has a personal link to her own history: the victim came from the same place she’d once escaped. Rae agrees to help with the case on one condition: it’s her last one.

But her “last” case simmers with danger, dark connections to her past, and a delicious man with a really big…sword. While dodging increasing threats, juggling a creature that keeps trying to eat (dead) people, Rae eventually faces her greatest challenge of all: determining if the life she’s built in Hallow’s Promise is worth risking everything.

Grab a hot beverage, a warm blanket, and curl up for this almost-cozy fantasy murder mystery, spiced with magic, sweetened with new friendships, and stewed especially for you.
