Once upon a time, in our ordinary world, there was a grandmother. 

She died.

She was reborn as a Vampire in a world of Magick.

The grandmother de-aged. Her ailments healed, her body became strong, and her wrinkles faded.

Her wisdom, however, did not diminish. She knew monsters need monstrous names so they never forget the monsters they are.

She named herself Grendel, after the medieval haunter of borderlands and drinker of warriors’ blood, slain by the hero Beowulf.

The name seems appropriate. Grendel the Grandmother haunts the borderlands and drinks the blood of (mostly) evil warriors.

But in a Magickal world, names don’t just have meanings, they are prophecies.

And a new hero is rising. He has been molded since birth to fight evil, and been given the tools and skills to vanquish the most insidious evil of all: Vampires.

His name is Beowulf, and he’s coming for Grendel.

Magic failed. He didn’t. Now she has to know why.

Cian Brennan lives an ordinary life repairing office machines—until a subway crash hurls him into the path of a fire-breathing monster and a sword-wielding woman with wings. She erases everyone’s memory with a flash of light.

Everyone except him.

Now Cian’s thrust into a hidden world where fae huntresses wield lightning, vampires run territories, and someone called The Sisterhood wants him captured alive.

The problem? He has no idea why.

With enemies closing in and magical authorities threatening to wipe his memory, Cian must rely on Eilidh—a deadly beautiful sidhe fae—and learn to control powers he never knew he had.

The deeper Cian digs into his mysterious past, the more dangerous his enemies become. Ancient forces are stirring, and they need something only he can provide.

Can Cian master his dragon shifter abilities before The Sisterhood claims him? Or will discovering the truth about his heritage cost him everything he’s fighting to protect?

Start The Huntress and get swept into a world of fae intrigue, sizzling tension, and impossible choices.

As Namaka turns the fury of the sea on her sister, wreaking untold devastation on the land and under the sea, she earns the ire of the mer kingdoms. Their answer: turn Namaka into one of them. Possessed by a mermaid spirit, she is drawn into battles in their alien world.

Amidst battles that span both land and sea, Namaka must confront the consequences of her choices and navigate the treacherous waters of power, betrayal, and redemption.

Here is the first book in the landmark series that has redefined imaginative fiction and become a modern masterpiece.

A GAME OF THRONES
 
In a land where summers can last decades and winters a lifetime, trouble is brewing. The cold is returning, and in the frozen wastes to the North of Winterfell, sinister and supernatural forces are massing beyond the kingdom’s protective Wall. At the center of the conflict lie the Starks of Winterfell, a family as harsh and unyielding as the land they were born to. Sweeping from a land of brutal cold to a distant summertime kingdom of epicurean plenty, here is a tale of lords and ladies, soldiers and sorcerers, assassins and bastards, who come together in a time of grim omens. Amid plots and counterplots, tragedy and betrayal, victory and terror, the fate of the Starks, their allies, and their enemies hangs perilously in the balance, as each endeavors to win that deadliest of conflicts: the game of thrones.
