If you’d asked me a week ago, I would have told you that the best cupcakes were dark chocolate with chocolate cream cheese icing, that dancing in a crowd of magic wielders — the Adept — was better than sex, and that my life was peaceful and uneventful.

Just the way I liked it.

That’s what twenty-three years in the magical backwater of Vancouver will get you — a completely skewed sense of reality. Because when the dead werewolves started showing up, it all unraveled … except for the cupcake part. That’s a universal truth.

A merchant’s daughter who yearns for adventure gets more than she bargained for when she falls for a broodingly handsome stranger in this saucy romantasy from the New York Times bestselling author of The Hurricane Wars.

“A true delight of a book! Spicy and heartfelt—this one is a winner all around.”—Katee Robert, author of Neon Gods

As the daughter of an ambitious merchant, Guinevere’s path has been predetermined: marry into a noble house of the Dwendalian Empire, raise her family’s station, and live quietly as a lordling’s obedient wife. But Guinevere longs for a life unbounded by expectations, for freedom and passion and adventure.

Those distant dreams become a sudden reality when her caravan is beset by bandits, leaving her guards slain and Guinevere stranded alone on the dangerous Amber Road. Her only chance of survival is to travel alongside Oskar, the aloof half-orc who saved her during the attack.

Unlike Guinevere, Oskar’s path is not so set in stone. With his mother dead and his apprenticeship abandoned, all that’s left is a long, lonely walk to a land he’s never seen to find family he’s never met. The last thing he needs is a spoiled waif like Guinevere slowing him down—even if the spark between them sizzles with promise.

Despite his cold exterior, Oskar is brave and thoughtful and unlike anyone Guinevere has ever met. And while Guinevere may be sheltered, she brings out a softness in him that he has never dared to feel before. As the flames of their passion grow, they realize that soon they’ll need to choose between their expected destinations or their blossoming romance.

Written by New York Times bestselling author Thea Guanzon at the behest of Critical Role’s Jester Lavorre, Tusk Love brings the most romantic story on Exandrian bookshelves to life.

Have you ever looked death in the face?

No?

Lucky you.

Word on the street is, I’m crazy. I talk to the wind, crawl into the bushes with dryads, and befriend salamanders to keep me warm. Living on the streets of Berlin isn’t too bad when you know the right people–or in my case, nature spirits.

Unfortunately, the same spirits that help me survive, are responsible for all the wild weather and natural disasters in the world. They might be my friends, but they’ve got it out for humanity.

That’s where the Spirit Seekers come into play, elite soldiers trained in the fight against nature. They face down floods and battle earthquakes, keeping us all safe. As a homeless spirit girl on the streets, I never thought I’d ever cross their paths, but when a powerful storm sprite attacks Berlin’s Central Station, they suddenly need my help to defeat him.

Huge mistake.

Turns out, that storm isn’t just a simple spirit I could befriend and calm down. No, he’s the Erlking, father of all storms and ruler of the sky. And now I’m on his shit list. I am so dead.

If you like fast-paced adventure, action-packed urban fantasy with unique creatures, and secret societies, you’ll love the Spirit Seekers. This series will take you on a supernatural sight-seeing tour across Europe, discovering chilling storm spirits, murderous nymphs, and sizzling salamanders.

This collection includes the complete series plus the prequel: Natural Selection.

DREAMTHIEF received the INDIEFAB Book of the Year Award from Foreword Reviews for fantasy and also won a RONE award for Best New Adult Romance.

Forget the fairies and unicorns, most people return from fairy world with lost memories and mental problems. Olive Kennedy knows. She’s the therapist who treats patients suffering from Faythander’s side effects.

Traveling back to the fairy realm wasn’t on Olive’s to-do list. But she has no choice. The fate of both Earth and Fairy depends on her ability to stop an ancient being called the Dreamthief. To complicate matters, she may be losing her heart to someone who can’t love her in return. Saving the world, she can handle. Falling in love—not so much.

Dreamthief is the Amazon #1 bestseller in both Mythology and Fairy Tales. With over 150 five-star reviews on Amazon and Goodreads, Dreamthief is an imaginative, romantic fantasy for fans of The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher. Morgan Stamm of InD’tale magazine says, “[Dreamthief] springs to life from the very first sentence.”

This imaginative read has been nominated for both the Foreword Reviews’ INDIEFAB book of the year award, as well as InD’tale’s prestigious RONE award.

An immortal woman.
An ancient curse.
A deadly pact.


Lily has roamed the earth for centuries, unable to die but also unable to truly live, lest her secret be discovered.

Unfortunately, saving a young boy from an almost-deadly accident attracts a handsome stranger’s rapt attention.

He sees her in a way few others have before, putting them both at risk and awakening an ancient curse.

After years of searching and nearly losing all hope, Lily’s finally found something—and someone—to live for. But will that be enough to save them from what is coming?

Equal parts puzzle and page-turner, Of Songs and Seashells is a modern continuation of the classic fairy tale The Little Mermaid. We promise you’ve never read anything quite like it before.
