Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders.

But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile� humans. They incinerate them.

With fewer dragons willing to bond than cadets, most would kill Violet to better their own chances of success. The rest would kill her just for being her mother’s daughter—like Xaden Riorson, the most powerful and ruthless wingleader in the Riders Quadrant.

She’ll need every edge her wits can give her just to see the next sunrise.

Yet, with every day that passes, the war outside grows more deadly, the kingdom's protective wards are failing, and the death toll continues to rise. Even worse, Violet begins to suspect leadership is hiding a terrible secret.

Friends, enemies, lovers. Everyone at Basgiath War College has an agenda—because once you enter, there are only two ways out: graduate or die.]]>

Secrets of the Forgotten Heir 224106383 PI by day, reluctant witch by necessity—Beatrix has a case to crack and a legacy to reclaim.

I walked away from my magic, my past, and the home I was born to protect. For the last decade, I’ve been scraping by as a PI in the non-magical world, solving human problems and ignoring the legacy that should have been mine. My magic is barely worth mentioning—unless you count my menial ability to sense emotions, which is about as useful as a chocolate teapot.

But then my oldest friend breaks into my flat with a desperate plea and I’m suddenly heading back to Witchlight Cove—a hidden magical town on the British coast I swore I’d never see again.

The Eternal Flame, an enigmatic magic that protects the town, has vanished. A ruthless property developer is circling my family home like a vulture. And a poisoning at the village fête proves there’s something far worse lurking in the shadows. If I don’t figure out what’s going on, I’ll lose everything—not just my inheritance, but the only people I’ve ever called family.

With my fiercely loyal retriever by my side, a murder to solve, and a smug, insufferably attractive rival getting under my skin, Witchlight Cove is about to test me in ways I never imagined.

Some legacies can’t be escaped. Some flames refuse to die.

Perfect for fans of strong heroines, lovable animal sidekicks, and heart-racing urban fantasy, Secrets of the Forgotten Heir delivers action, charm, and supernatural surprises. With stand-alone mysteries, sharp humour, and a swoon-worthy slow-burn romance spanning the series, it’s an unmissable treat.

Against all odds, Gideon saved his crew from the Draconians, and he even rescued the colonists—but they aren't his colonists; they're from a different Trailblazer. Now they've found refuge on a planet called Sanctuary, but their Draconian ally, Rolam, has informed them that their safe haven belongs to a powerful race of sentient machines, and it might not be as safe as it seems.

Gideon's mission is to escape and find their people. But with the leader of the colony forbidding anyone to leave, and Rolam pushing his own agenda, the path ahead looks treacherous.

While they are still deciding what to do, a chance encounter with a mysterious rebel faction presents a third option, and Gideon must decide who to trust. The stakes are high, and dark forces are conspiring from the shadows. Even the slightest misstep will mean death, or worse—enslavement to the Dracs.]]>

Carrie Moonshadow is a local witch that has spent years minding her own business, brewing potions, tending her garden, and staying out of the townspeople’s way.

The Wolverines thought David Wayne was too scrawny to pilot a mech. They laughed in his face, telling him he needed more muscle and, hell, maybe a mustache to be worthy.

But they underestimated the furious spark of ambition that burned inside.

Driven by the sting of their ridicule, David teams up with his sarcastic AI, Tabitha, and a crew of overlooked society rejects, transforming scrap into a weapon that defies all expectations.

He’ll forge his own path by creating a mech unlike anything they've ever fast, deadly, and fueled by the pure, unadulterated fury of being told he couldn't.

Talon is a high-octane ride, where one pilot will obliterate the notion that you have to be a hulking brute to dominate in combat.

The bigger the mechs, the harder they will fall, and David is ready to make them all crash and burn or DIE TRYING.

War Games (Jacky Leon, #11) 214974034 Get your affairs in order. War doesn’t wait for anyone to be ready.

With the terrible recent events weighing on my mind, I know the only way I can go is forward. My family, our allies, and I know for certain that there is a sect of witches that want to control the moon cursed for their own nefarious purposes. We don’t know how many of them there are, and we don’t know their names. We know it’s not every witch, but that doesn’t make us less suspicious of every single one of them. The threat is so grave that we finally have strong allies in the werewolves, not just in my fiancé, Heath Everson and those he leads. A common enemy can do that for those at each other’s necks for so long.

Although the war is quiet, it brings with it what every war brings. Change. New duties and responsibilities. New things to celebrate and things to mourn. Everyone is getting their affairs in order, moving pieces of their armies and making sure their own positions are stable.

With all the pieces moving, I find myself in a game not meant for me.
A game I am ill equipped to win.]]>

<![CDATA[Frustrated Justice (The Other Detective Series)]]> 222973129
Murder, magic, and a talking bird with an attitude—justice has never been this complicated!

When a body is found pulverised beyond recognition, I’m called to investigate. As Chester’s only magical Detective Inspector, it’s my job to handle the cases the Common police can’t. This one has all the hallmarks of the Other Realm—especially when I find a talking bird caged at the scene.

The avian is a cheeky, foul-mouthed creature with a knack for insults and an alarming amount of information about the murder. His claims are as dubious as his vocabulary, but he might just be the key to solving the case.

Things get even messier when Krieg, the King of Ogres, strides into the investigation. He’s imposing, infuriating, and entirely too distracting for my peace of mind. With magical factions on edge, a murderer on the loose, and a bird who won’t stop talking, I’ll need all my wits—and my rare magical gifts—to stay ahead of the chaos.

Justice might be my job, but staying alive—and keeping my heart intact—is personal.

Please note this book was previously published in the Magically Wild anthology. Immerse yourself in The Other Detective Series—perfect for fans of fast-paced, witty paranormal police procedurals, complete with a fierce heroine, gripping murder mysteries, and a slow-burn fated-mates romance.

Written in British English.

Kit McCafferty's life is quiet, unremarkable and filled with cat hair. In the magical city of Coldstream, located on the border between Scotland and England, Kit is viewed as little more than mildly eccentric and mostly harmless. She passes her days caring for her family of five cats, feeding the local feral moggies, and maintaining relatively good relations with her neighbours.

All that changes, however, when a teenage werewolf shows up at her door in the desperate hope of renting out a nearby vacant flat. Kit knows that the smart move is to tell him to leave. The last thing she needs is to become embroiled in complicated shapeshifter politics. But something about the secretive young werewolf tugs at her heartstrings.

It's not long before Kit ends up caught in a maelstrom of mysterious crime and magical wrong-doing. Fortunately, there's far more to Kit McCafferty than meets the eye and she has a few dark secrets of her own.

Of course, anyone with an ounce of intelligence knows that you underestimate a cat lady at your own peril.

Waifs and Strays is the first book in a new urban fantasy crime series. Expect mystery, magic and adventure with a heroine who will keep you turning pages late into the night. There will also be a lot of cats.]]>

When her diplomatic mission leads her to Il Giardino—a glittering vampire enclave carved into the Italian mountains—her supernatural intuition screams danger.

At best, she’s expecting a kitschy candy dish, at worst a beloved taxidermied pet, so when Cassie—newly divorced, single mom with zero prospects—discovers she’s inheriting a fully stocked bakery along with a beautifully furnished apartment from a great aunt she’d never even heard of, she’s convinced she must be dreaming.

The apartment bizarrely adapting itself to her whims and the friendly neighbor floating fireballs in the air aren’t helping.

Cassie has two choices. She can hightail it out of this bewildering town and figure out a way to support her pre-teen daughter. Or she can stay and live the life of her dreams in this unsettling place where the rules of physics don’t seem to apply, and people are suspiciously friendly and welcoming.

When Cassie and her daughter agree to give this new place a trial run (the fantastic pet shop next door is a helpful draw), she’s not convinced they’ve made the right choice. That hesitation just might cost her the fantastic life she and her daughter deserve.

<![CDATA[A Court of Honey and Ash (Honey and Ice, #1)]]> 56273343 Orphaned. Trained to fight. Raised to fear the power of Underhill. Secretly in love with a man who doesn’t want me.

I’m still just Alli, aka the half-human orphan fae, but my life is looking up for the first time. It only took me my whole 24 years.

But when Underhill—the ancestral home of the fae—shatters, making it impossible for any fae to enter, I’m the only one who knows who did it.

A secret that will be the death of me if I do nothing.

A brutal madness spreads through the fae as they lose their connection to Underhill, and to save my people, my only choice is to leave all I have fought for and go on the run.

Unless I figure out how the hell magic that has existed since the dawn of time was destroyed with a single touch, well, an entire life spent fighting to prove myself isn’t going to mean anything at all.

I must find the answer to the riddle of Underhill’s shattering.

Hunted by the very man I loved once upon a time.]]>

<![CDATA[Lies That Bleed (The Ember War, #1)]]> 210127609 For tonight, we either lived or died in The Wilds. Nothing else mattered.
As the daughter of the emperor, Aisling Everhart was born into privilege. She has trained her entire life to go into The Wilds and have a chance at bonding with a creature that can give her unknown power. Half of the candidates will die the first night, and only a few will make it out. Those who survive the bonding are quickly conscripted into the Imperial Fleet to join the war.

What Aisling never could have prepared for, was Kohen Badshah, former prince of Imbria, her father’s sworn enemy. When Kohen proposes an unlikely alliance, she accepts. They enter The Wilds together, and Aisling realizes that she was woefully unprepared, especially when nothing goes to plan.

After barely surviving, she’s thrust into the Imperial Fleet to learn how to control her new gifts, but as her power grows, so do the dangers—including multiple attempts on her life. When you don’t know who is friend or enemy, it’s hard to trust, but Kohen Badshah appears to be protecting her.

It’s that or he’s playing one excellent long game. Which one, only time will tell.

With money flowing in and villains going down by the week, Trev, Cassie and Jack are building up a major reputation as bounty hunters and rookie heroes. They’re ready to make the official shift to hero work as soon as they can convince the local police and military they’re not out of control blood-thirsty bounty hunters only pretending to care about justice.

The careful villain avoids drawing attention to himself�

Trev is more concerned with improving control of his power and taking down bounties than worrying about small fry. When a local street gang decides they’re going to move into his part of town, he decides to educate them about how living a law-abiding life is far less painful, especially when being a criminal means going up against Trev and his friends.

The brighter the light, the darker the shadow.

A simple altercation blossoms into a confrontation with a far more dangerous enemy force who has seized control of half the city. Trev and the team are going to have to improve both their powers and their urban warfare tactics if they want to save their city from a dark conspiracy.

Will Trev and his friends survive taking on their greatest army of enemies yet unscathed, or will they be forced to understand that ambition, no matter how well-intentioned, can outstrip ability?

He was blessed and cursed like everyone else with a special ability in a world where weak governments are still trying to regain a semblance of control over the superpowered bandits and grotesque mutant animals that now prowl at the edges of civilization. With the death of his parents and a warning to keep the nature of his power hidden, Trev moves far away to the desert southwest to start a new life.

A race in the desert uncovers a sinister agenda�

Starting over in a broken world isn’t cheap. Trev’s plan is to win the monster-hunting Sonoran Baja Hunter-Tourist Rally to score quick cash and a strong reputation in his new home.

Navigating the treacherous desert landscape with his best friend and co-driver Jack and an alluring tourist harboring secrets of her own, Trev realizes that winning the race is no longer his only concern. The event requires him to go fast, fight monsters, and keep the tourist safe, but he’s not so sure she cares all that much about whether he survives.

Facing dangerous monsters, explosive confrontations, and a deepening web of deception, Trev must unravel the hidden mysteries of the southwest.

Monsters and bandits infest the Sonoran Desert and challenge Trev at every turn. No one can guarantee his survival but him. Trev can’t even be sure who’s on his side and who wants him dead.

Will Trev and his companions survive the ultimate race and emerge victorious, or will they become the next team to vanish without a trace in an unforgiving desert?]]>

<![CDATA[Bounties and Changes (The Hero Prophecy Book 2)]]> 218024435 Prophecies don’t pay the bills�

Trev has accepted the truth of Cassie’s vision of him becoming a great hero meant to save the Earth and stop the machinations of the dangerous corporation 46P1. While Trev, Jack and Cassie are a good team, they’ve got a long way to go before they’re ready to take on the most powerful company left in the broken world.

But dead or alive bounties can make life less complicated�

Enjoying the satisfaction that comes with taking down bandits and villains, the team settle on bounty-hunting work as they transition from ragtag racing crew to hero team. They figure they have an easy job when the nearby mining town of New Hope puts out a call for help.

Being a hero in a fallen world means risking betrayal.

There’s more going on in New Hope than Trev and his friends expect. They must deal with monsters, out-of-control mercenaries, and a deadly bandit secret that forces Trev to realize that being the toughest in a fight may not guarantee he can save lives.

Will Trev and his team discover the bandits� secret before it’s too late for all the innocent people they’ve sworn to save?

<![CDATA[Resurgence of the Pack (The Other Wolf, #5)]]> 205706467 The Queen of Werewolves Never Bows—She Hunts.

Being Queen of the British Werewolves means I’m not one to back down, especially when my friend Emory is facing trial on spurious charges. I stormed in, certain that my impassioned speech would help save the king of the dragon shifters � but darker forces prevailed.

The Domini, a sinister secret society, is pulling strings from the darkness. They manipulate rulers and topple thrones � but they’ve picked the wrong woman to mess with. I refuse to dance to their tune; the only thing I dance to is nineties� pop music.

My mission is clear: dismantle the Domini and find a long-lost magical artefact that could restore our pack’s lost air powers. With a few powerful werewolves at my side, lured in by yummy cookies, cute unicorns and a commitment to gender equality, I’m building an unstoppable force.

Once I’ve got my allies and our ancient orb back, I won’t just be levelling the playing field � I’ll be obliterating it. And then it’ll be time for me to go hunting�

The Domini better start sleeping with one eye open.]]>

<![CDATA[Ascension of the Pack (The Other Wolf, #6)]]> 205706465
My best friend’s wedding was cancelled and she was arrested. With some smoke and mirrors we got her back, but an emergency called me home before I could get my revenge for her maltreatment.

Jimmy Rain, vile alpha werewolf and power-hungry coward, thought he could attack my stronghold while I was distracted. Big mistake: knowing that Jess is safe, now I’m gunning for him. No more games. He’s about to learn why the sentient seat of power crowned me Queen of Werewolves. I’ll stop at nothing to destroy him ... permanently.

But there’s more at stake than taking down a rival alpha: I need to secure the future of my pack, and that means pulling off a heist to reclaim an ancient magical artefact. There’s one problem: it’s sitting in a dragon-shifter’s hoard and she won’t give it up without a fight.

Prophecies, betrayals and rival alphas stand in my way � but I’ll tear through every one of them. My destiny is calling, and this time I’m answering.

No more Miss Nice Queen.

Don't miss this werewolf shifter series if you like humour, heart and a strong heroine with a slow burn, loyal-beta fade-to-black romance.

Something is up in the Akasha.

The magical realm cocooning the earth is filled with mysteries and wonders beyond anything I could’ve imagined. The kind of things that make my inner scientist squeal at the possibilities.

But there’s a darker side to that beauty�

And somehow, I’m the go-to girl for the realm between worlds. Why? Because I’m one of the few people to walk between worlds and not spontaneously combust?

That’s a pretty low bar.

But as I investigate, I find the things that dwell in the Akasha are old. And hungry. And should never be woken.

After somehow keeping the Aether Storm from ripping apart the world, you’d think things would’ve gotten easier for me. Not even a little. With the Senior Magi Council of the Seven Spheres still MIA, and the streets of Boston hiding darker secrets than I ever imagined, I’m still in the thick of it.

And it’s coming back to bite me� hard .

Some of the world’s most powerful Magi don’t like my brand of experimental magic and question my methods from when I�you know—saved the world. Blowing them off isn’t an option. If I do, they’ll look too closely at my friends and make it everyone’s problem.

Missing Magi, hostile peers, and something worrisome going on with my sister means I’ve got a lot of fireballs in the air.

But this time, I’m not alone.

We might be a band of misfit throwaways, but the Aether Outliers are survivors.

They say life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans—they’re right.

My life changed trajectory the day I attacked the creep who stole my thesis and got kicked out of the prestigious University of Sciences in Boston. That sucked, but then the laws of physics betrayed everything I believed in, and I got jumped by a creature out of literal urban fantasy nightmares.

There’s no way it could be real.

There’s no way to explain how it could be real.

Magic? Are you freaking kidding? I’m a science geek. The world I live in is based in factual evidence and mathematical equations. The Scientific Method exists for a reason.

It’s tangible. Explainable. Quantifiable. Until it’s not.

But when I’m attacked by a Harrower and rescued by a guy who turns monsters into dust, there’s no way I can deny it. I live in a world where magic exists. There are madmen that kick off reality-eating storms right in the middle of Boston, and powerful, magic wielding Magi who fight to stop them.

And apparently, I’m one of them.

Armed with only my passion for math, an irritable crow, and a knack for setting things on fire, I’m thrown into a new life I never knew existed. Will I survive becoming a Magi? Will Boston survive me?

When Ember Rose is tasked with covering the birthday party of a wealthy 200-year-old matriarch for the local paper's society section, she doesn't bank on the guest of honor dying before the cake is served. It quickly becomes clear that the matriarch's death wasn't due to natural causes and Ember finds herself embroiled in yet another mystery. On top of that, Marley is about to turn the (literal) magical age of 11, a day she's been anticipating since her arrival in Starry Hollow, but all is not going according to plan. In fact, nothing is going according to plan, including Ember's tumultuous love life. As much as she wants her personal issues to be relegated to background noise until she can solve the murder, they have a way of turning up the volume and demanding her attention.

Will Ember manage to reveal the killer's identity before the killer silences her forever?]]>

Hustle Harder, Hustle Smarter 49082614
For the first time, Curtis �50 Cent� Jackson opens up about his amazing comeback—from tragic personal loss to thriving businessman and cable’s highest-paid executive—in this unique self-help guide, his first since his blockbuster New York Times bestseller The 50th Law.

In his early twenties Curtis Jackson, known as 50 Cent rose to the heights of fame and power in the cutthroat music business. A decade ago the multi-platinum selling rap artist decided to pivot. His ability to adapt to change was demonstrated when he became the executive producer and star of Power, a high-octane, gripping crime drama centered around a drug kingpin’s family. The series quickly became “appointment� television, leading to Jackson inking a four-year, $150 million contract with the Starz network—the most lucrative deal in premium cable history.

Now, in his most personal book, Jackson shakes up the self-help category with his unique, cutting-edge lessons and hard-earned advice on embracing change. Where The 50th Law tells readers “fear nothing and you shall succeed,� Hustle Harder, Hustle Smarter builds on this message, combining it with Jackson’s street smarts and hard-learned corporate savvy to help readers successfully achieve their own comeback—and to learn to flow with the changes that disrupt their own lives.]]>

Claudia Richelieu has spent years preparing to become one of Haven's elite Chimera operatives. But when a human college student is beaten for wearing a Chimera costume, she's thrust into her first undercover mission - posing as a regular university student.

One wrong move could spark a war between vampires and humans - or worse, destroy any hope of their peaceful coexistence.
