The High Queen of the Elves has conquered Earth, but I don’t care about that.

I don’t care about the High Queen, or the Rebels seeking to overthrow her. All I care about is getting my baby brother the treatments he needs to recover from his potentially fatal disease…and those treatments have a steep price.

Fortunately, I have magic of my own, and I’m a very, very good thief.

Unfortunately, the powerful Elven lord Morvilind has a hold over me. If I don’t follow his commands, my brother is going to die.

Of course, given how dangerous Morvilind’s missions are, I might not live long enough to see my brother’s death…

The necromancer who became a god of death …

From out of the Mist he came, his name whispered in awe and dread, for Odin cast himself as a god of Man. But behind the illusion and the lies, Odin too was once a man, in an age of ice and an era of Mist.

With his blood brother Loki by his side, Odin wanted only to protect his people from the soul-stealing Mist and its denizens. But when a vision of Ragnarök shows him the end of the world, he is forced to accept a terrible truth. In the face of the extinction of Mankind, any action, any deception, no matter how vile, is needful if it might avert the end.

So Odin will kill, will lie, will use Men in his ceaseless schemes. Because the price of his failure is unthinkable …

When a reluctant psychic is drawn into a thousand-year war between gargoyles and vampires, all hell breaks loose in the City of Angels….

The Watchers Trilogy boxed set includes:

FALLING DARK

Everything changed the day she died…

After surviving a life-threatening car accident, Serena Quinn has been plagued by visions she can’t control. Overwhelmed by the fear of losing herself to these unwelcome glimpses into other lives, she withdraws from society, seeking solace in isolation. But a sudden and mysterious attack by an unknown assailant thrusts her into a hidden world ruled by cunning, malevolent vampires, where the enigmatic Silas becomes her unlikely guide.

Silas vows to protect her, but Serena is torn, unsure who she should trust. Even as she battles her growing attraction to Silas, her adversaries grow bolder, coveting her extraordinary abilities for their own dark purposes.

Unfortunately, her bond with her new and unexpected guardian might not be enough to protect her in the end….

DEAD OF NIGHT

When death isn’t the worst thing that can happen to you….

Psychic Serena Quinn should be dead. Instead, she’s trapped in a deadly game of cat and mouse with a centuries-old vampire master who seems to know her better than she knows herself. Every vision that bleeds through her mind reveals another twisted connection between them — one that goes deeper than captivity, darker than she ever imagined.

Silas Drake is coming for her. But as Serena matches her captor wit for wit, claw for claw, she’s starting to wonder: what if the monster holding her prisoner isn’t the real threat? What if the visions screaming through her skull are trying to warn her about something far worse?

Some fates are more terrifying than death…but some bonds can never be broken.

RISING DAWN

A drop of blood holds their only hope…or their destruction.

Serena Quinn is walking a tightrope strung between grief and despair. As long as Lucius Montfort holds her lover Silas captive, she is forced to pretend she’s besotted with the vampire whose offspring murdered her sister. Worse, conflicting visions of the future show her with Lucius, then with Silas — and their child. Which future is real?

As if that’s not enough, Lucius needs money — lots of money — to find a cure for vampirism. He’s got his eye on the Quinn family coffers, which Serena’s brother will empty if vampire blood can save his terminally ill daughter.

In the meantime, Serena struggles to paint a convincing picture of complete devotion to Lucius, while holding out for a miracle that The Watchers will manage to rescue her captured lover. But as her visions for any future at all shred and ravel away to almost nothing, one last chance lies in a completely unexpected blood tie that could save them — or destroy them both.

Featured Fantasy: Poisoned Kingdom (Secrets of Dagome Book 1) by Olena Nikiten

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

When the magic that creates life is a death sentence, her only chance to live is taming it… and the man it tried to claim.

As a poisoner, Roksana knows how to keep a secret—until the power she wields and the secrets she hides begin unravelling, forcing her to flee to the dwarven kingdom.

But the assassin’s mark on her skin isn’t easy to erase.

When she’s discovered by her former master, the price for his silence is brutally simple: kill the notorious War King.

Except… she already did.

Her target, however, refuses to die. Surviving by sheer tenacity—and the darkness her poison awakened—he sets out to hunt down the woman who dared to destroy him.

When his hands finally close around his assassin’s throat, the War King does the unthinkable—he lets her live… and makes her pay.

Thrusted into a world where loyalty is carved in blood and love is the deadliest illusion, two unwilling allies must join forces for a chance to survive—all while trying to ignore the treacherous fire threatening to undo them with every forbidden touch.

As more secrets come to light, Roksana faces an impossible choice.

Trust the man she tried to kill… or hide her power and let his kingdom burn.

———————————————————————–

Perfect for fans of high-stakes fantasy with morally grey fmc, enemies-to-lovers romance and rich, Slavic-inspired world-building. This adult high fantasy delivers slow-burn tension, dark intrigue, and a hero torn between power and love.

For readers who crave the grit of The Witcher and the allure of Bardugo’s Six of Crows, reimagined for a mature audience.

In Terry Pratchett’s Wyrd Sisters, Granny Weatherwax teams with two other witches—Nanny Ogg and Margat Garlick—as an unlikely alliance to save a prince and restore him to the throne of Lancre, in a tale that borrows—or is it parodies—some of William Shakespeare’s best-loved works.

Meet Granny Weatherwax, the most highly regarded non-leader a coven of non-social witches could ever have. Generally, these loners don’t get involved in anything, must less royal intrigue. But then there are those times they can’t help it. As Granny Weatherwax is about to discover, it’s a lot harder to stir up trouble in the castle than some theatrical types would have you think. Even when you’ve got a few unexpected spells up your sleeve.

The Discworld novels can be read in any order but Wyrd Sisters is the sixth Discworld book and the second in the Witches collection. The Witches collection includes:

  • Equal Rites
  • Wyrd Sisters
  • Witches Abroad
  • Lords and Ladies
  • Maskerade
  • Carpe Jugulum
