Myth and legend come to life in Dark Age Wales …

Cold My Heart: Love. Magic. Faith. By the autumn of 537 AD, all who are loyal to King Arthur have retreated to a small parcel of land in north Wales. They are surrounded on all sides, heavily outnumbered, and facing near certain defeat. But Myrddin and Nell, two of the king’s companions, have a secret that neither has ever been able to face: each has seen that on a cold and snowy day in December, Saxon soldiers sent by Modred will ambush and kill King Arthur. And together, they must decide what they are willing to do, and to sacrifice, to avert that fate.

Cold My Heart in this volume includes three novels published separately elsewhere: Cold My Heart, The Oaken Door, and Of Men and Dragons.

The Last Pendragon: Rhiann knows that demons walk the night. She has been taught to fear them. But from the moment Cade is dragged before her father’s throne, beaten and having lost all of his men to her father’s treachery, he stirs something inside her that she has never felt before. When Cade is revealed to be not only Arthur’s heir but touched by the sidhe, Rhiann must choose between the life she left behind and the one before her–and how much she is willing to risk to follow her heart.

The Last Pendragon in this volume consists of three novels published separately elsewhere: The Last Pendragon, The Pendragon’s Blade, and Song of the Pendragon.

Cold My Heart and The Last Pendragon are the first books in two different series set in Dark Age Wales!

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?

A dangerous game of memory and magic.

Every morning, I wake up with no knowledge of who I am, except for a few strange quirks: I prefer old-fashioned dresses that button to my chin. I can shift into the form of a fox at will. And a werewolf who’s equal parts magnetic and terrifying keeps following me around.

Then the human co-worker who helps me gloss over my amnesia goes missing just as a werewolf power struggle erupts around us. To rescue Rosa and protect myself, I must team up with the very alpha whose existence represents my greatest fears and desires.

But my erratic memory offers hints that my past may unlock the secrets that threaten all of us. Can I piece together the truth before dawn steals away my one chance at saving Rosa’s life and discovering who I really am?

From USA Today bestselling author Aimee Easterling comes the first book in a thrilling new series filled with magic, danger, and romance.

“Karma takes too long. I’d rather beat the shit out of you right now.”

With a dagger in her boot and blades in her bra, Briar, a powerful shifter, arrives in Rouen with one goal: find and kill Dominic, the man responsible for the destruction of her entire family and wolf pack. When she discovers he is an Alpha surrounded by muscle-ripped shifters and equally as strong witches, she knows the only way she will get close enough to kill him is if she joins his dangerous and shady pack.

But infiltrating them proves more challenging than she expects, especially when her new roommates turn out to be supernaturals with their own powers and secrets. She can’t tell if the centuries-old, nosey vampire and fashion-sensitive witch are working with her or against her.

Whether they are friends or enemies doesn’t change things. Briar has a job to do. And she is willing to do whatever it takes to quench her thirst for revenge, even if it means destroying her own soul.

Game of Thrones meets Spartacus

In an ancient world of sand and splendor, an empire awakens.

Aelar, a mighty nation, spreads its tentacles. Its oared galleys storm the seas, and the waters run red with blood. Its legionaries swarm desert ruins, smiting barbarian hordes. Its crosses line the roadsides, displaying the dying flesh of heroes.

The Aelarian empire rises. The old world falls.

The powerful Sela family has avoided the empire until now. The family has carved out an idyllic life between sea and desert, ruling a bustling port, a thriving city, and lush vineyards. Yet when an imperial fleet arrives in their harbor, everything the Sela family has built threatens to collapse.

Sweeping from snowy forests to cruel deserts, from bazaars of wonder to fields of war, here is a tale of legionaries and lepers, priests and paupers, kings and crows. Here a girl travels across endless dunes, seeking magic; a cruel prince struggles to claim a bloodstained throne; and a young soldier fights to hold back an overwhelming host. As the empire spreads, the fate of the Sela family–and of all civilization–stands upon a knife’s edge, for under the storm of war, even the greatest nations are but kingdoms of sand.
