SHADOW RUNNER

About SHADOW RUNNER:

what happens to a good person when survival requires embracing darkness? From aristocrat to assassin: in a world of moral ambiguity, Ada must find her humanity. Born to wealth, young Ada is destined for a life comfort, yet she yearns for the one thing money cannot buy–freedom. A series of seemingly supernatural events deliver her from the mundane, but no one could have predicted the darkness that comes with it. Taken in and raised by a secret society, she is groomed as an assassin. As she comes of age, she must target the very aristocrats she once called kin, or attempt a daring escape. But if she leaves, she risks the lives of the two she loves most… her adopted sister and her enigmatic captor. A cross-genre blend of historical fantasy, steampunk, and coming-of-age, SHADOW RUNNER is a riveting saga of sacrifice, betrayal, and redemption that will leave readers on the edge of their seats.

Hell for Hire by Rachel Aaron

About Featured Book: Hell for Hire by Rachel Aaron

The Crew
A hulked-out wrath demon who eats gamer rage and loves cats, a shapeshifting lust demon who enjoys their food a bit too much, and a void demon who doesn’t see the point of any of this. They’re not the sort of mercenaries you hire on purpose, but Bex wouldn’t trust her life to anyone else.
Ever since the ancient Mesopotamian king Gilgamesh decided death wasn’t for him, killed the gods, and conquered the afterlife, times have been rough for a free demon. But the denizens of the Nine Hells aren’t the quitting sort, and Bex and her team have been choking a living out of the Eternal King’s lackeys for years. It’s not honest work, but when Heaven itself declares you a non-person, you smash-and-grab what you can get.
This next gig looks like more of the same…until Bex meets the client.

The Job
Adrian Blackwood is a witch with a problem. His family has skirted the edges of King Gilgamesh’s ire for centuries, but thanks to a decision he made as a child, Adrian is personally responsible for putting his entire coven in Heaven’s crosshairs.
Determined to set things right, Adrian drags his broom, caldron, and talking cat thousands of miles across the country to Seattle where he can fight the Eternal King’s warlocks without bringing the rest of his family into the fray. But witchcraft–like all crafts–takes time, and if the warlocks catch
him before his spells are ready, he’s dead. So Adrian does what any professional witch would do and hires a team of mercenaries to keep the warlocks off his back. He didn’t expect to get demons, but when you’re already on the killing-edge of Heaven’s bad side, what’s a bit more fuel on the fire?

Sometimes, you get more than you paid for.
Neither Adrian nor Bex knew what to expect when they signed their contract, but witch-plus-demon turns out to be a match made in the Hells. With this much chaos at their fingertips, even impossible dreams start to come back into reach, because Bex wasn’t always a mercenary. She used to be the Eternal
King of Heaven’s biggest nightmare, and now that she’s got a witch in her corner, it’s time to put the old magics back on the field and show Adrian Blackwood just how much hell he’s hired.

Shadows and Relics by L.L. Gray

Shadows and Relics by L.L. Gray

A dark ritual. Werewolves on my trail. A single chance to uncover the truth…
Cameron Blaze is my name, living on the edge is my game. Acquiring an ancient artifact? Sure, I like old stuff. Procuring a precious? I’ve got some sticky fingers right here. I will do pretty much anything to make rent and will enjoy the hell out of the ride as I go.

When werewolves turn up in New Orleans for the first time in living memory, I was curious. When they start to disrupt my business, I was annoyed. But when they come at me? I’m ready to open a can of whoop-the-wolf, no matter the consequences.

Adding to my canine conundrum, ghosts are disappearing from the New Orleans cemeteries and rumors of dark rituals are floating around the seedy underbelly of my city. To top it off, a powerful and mysterious relic has gone missing. A relic that, by all accounts, has the power to tear the veil that separates this world from the next to shreds.

With time running out and lives on the line, will I be able to find this ancient relic before all hell is set loose on my city?

Death of a Goddess by Steve Stephenson and K.M. Tedrick

Death of a Goddess by Steve Stephenson and K.M. Tedrick

In its continuous battle between good and evil, the planet Muiria faces unprecedented challenges. Even after defeating the Wraith Lords of Zeiglon and then vanquishing Taza, a vampire warlock, there is still no rest for the defenders of good. Now two new threats arise. First, the sorceress Cyra, a goddess of evil and the new champion of the malicious Adois’, and second, a black dragon, the most powerful and evil of all dragon kind.

Prince Tarquin and his wife, Princess Ress have been awaiting the birth of their first child, but Tarquin becomes impatient when he is unable to be of much help against these new threats. He and his dwarvan friend, Botreg, decide to team up with their former comrade in arms, Hority, the Clorian monk who has fought so many battles with them.

As they arrive at the Clorian compound, they discover that the dwarves are under attack and many monks are already dead after the theft of an ancient map they possessed showing the location of an unspeakably dangerous treasure.

The prince contacts the wizard Celedant and his bonded dragon, Azimuth. Soon the three of them, along with Eldahir, his wife Morganna, Hority, and important members of the Wood Elves all join forces once more to track down the murdering thieves and discover the true relevance of the stolen map.

Meanwhile, Cyra has mercilessly attacked a warlock guild in Trudoc, commandeering it, and has become the new leader of their city. Finding clues to the map’s location, she sends twenty white behemoth orcs and a powerful warlock after Celedant before he and his band can retrieve the map. Her minions have two missions: first, find where the map leads and take its treasure; then kill Celedant and his company.

What Cyra does not know is that the treasure belongs to an ancient black dragon whose evil is a perfect match to her own.

The race is on. Who will get to the treasure first? Will Azimuth survive the battle with his ancient foe, the black dragon? Will Tarquin make it home in time for the birth of his child? Will the ancient gods have to go to battle against Adois at the Clorian Compound?

Finally, Adaman, Adois’s twin but a force for good, has reached his limit for his sister’s evil treachery. He arrives and an epic battle of good versus evil commences on a scale that no one on the planet Muiria could ever have predicted.

Crimson Reign

About Crimson Reign:

The abduction was the first sign. He didn’t believe. Now he has the gods’ attention. Humans were always in control… no longer. What evil will awaken when the boundaries of fate and nature are tested? The lands of Aethum will soon find out.

In a world hanging in the balance between light and dark, two societies on the brink of conflict struggle to contain a growing evil. Callowmane, home to a community of affluent humans. Right beside her sits Minnar, a mining town populated by the blood class; a sect of civilization looked down upon by the other social hierarchies.

When a missing persons case leads Dr. Cro Myrus into the fray, he finds himself embroiled in a dark mystery leaving a trail of bodies in its wake. Someone is hunting the blood class in the name of their god. As an outsider, Cro quickly learns that Callowmane is not the utopia it’s been made to seem. Surrounded by forces he doesn’t understand, he finds solace in Amora, lady of the infamous Velmir Manor.

During his search for answers he learns more about the grisly histories of Callowmane and Minnar, ultimately questioning Amora’s own dark past and her true end game. With each person of interest hiding their own agendas and secrets, it will take every bit of intellect and strength for Cro to unearth the darkness spreading throughout the land as the Crimson Moon draws near.

Stakes rise as does the body count, forcing Cro to fight for his life. But when his faith is tested and truths are laid bare, will he fall victim to the growing shadow? His mind won’t be enough to stop the reckoning that awaits… one that threatens not just the region, but the entire world as he knows it.
