Unfortunately, Captain Samuel has stolen the Laputian Leviathan, a powerful pirate artifact that's got agents of Queen and calamity sniffing at his coattails. The skies are a-twitter with rumors of some nefarious theft: someone is ripping up and stealing national landmarks, leaving the aerial navies of Europe helpless. It's an idea so ludicrous it has to be true. What's Captain Sam got to do with it? And why does the Darjeeling only taste good in Auntie's galley?

With the aid of a buxom detective Inspector, a seditionist British journalist, and a knife-happy helmswoman, can Albion get to his pa before their high-flying pirate life is transformed into a Future that Never Was?

Catherine Perce didn't expect tucking her son into bed that night would be the last normal thing she did for a long time. Flashing lights outside her window were the first indication, the second was the knock at the door.

Quarantined.

When a soldier, Captain Jake Deakon takes refuge in her house her ordinary life takes another twist. Together they must survive and protect her son Mitch.

Now that time is up, they must see what awaits them outside their door. Neither could expect the truth they find. Will their new reality be one they can live with?

Emeryss is stuck in a library with the wrong destiny.

As the first Scribe born to the non-magical people of northern Revel, Emeryss was hauled off to the Great Library to spend the rest of her life translating ether into grimoires for her nation’s Casters. When her plan for freedom—to become a Caster—seems hopeless, Emeryss partners with a thieving illusionist for the perfect getaway: an airship, a full crew, and the promise to train Emeryss into the Caster she was meant to be. But the escape is not easy.

Grier—Emeryss’s assigned guard—is prepared to risk his life to protect her against any enemy who would hunt her for her gift. Keeping her safe and close is all he’s ever wanted. Keeping her alive is merely a stepping stone to the greatness his family expects. Letting the love he can never have walk out of the library—not an option.

As Emeryss fights for her freedom, the war between the Casters of Revel and the devastating ether-tech of the enemy nation of Ingini draws near. With the fate of her country at the brink of ruin, Emeryss must either save her people by keeping her old destiny or pay the price for a new one.

Preorder Kingdoms of Ether and embark on a fantastical journey across an expansive world full of magic, politics, love, and duty.

The ninth book in the bestselling British madcap time-travelling series, served with a dash of wit that seems to be everyone’s cup of tea. 

Behind the seemingly innocuous facade of St. Mary’s Institute of Historical Research, a different kind of academic work is taking place. Just don’t call it “time travel”?these historians “investigate major historical events in contemporary time.” And they aren’t your harmless eccentrics either; a more accurate description, as they ricochet around history, might be unintentional disaster-magnets. 

From Tudor England to the burning city of Persepolis, from a medieval St. Mary’s under siege to Victorian Rushford and a very nasty case of gaol fever, Max is struggling to keep her private life intact. There’s an ambitious programme hindered by giant teapots, plus Mrs. Midgely’s objection to dead hamsters in her airing cupboard, and Mr. Markham’s stubborn refusal to reveal his exact marital status. 

And as if that’s not enough?the unfortunately not leprosy-laden Malcolm Halcombe is back. Admittedly, none of this is the most secure platform from which to launch an initiative to bring down the renegade Clive Ronan, but hey?what’s the worst that could happen?

Born of frost and bound to fire, she will sacrifice everything to keep her sisters safe.

Ynya Oblique finds her parents slaughtered, her village razed, and her sisters kidnapped by the tyrant Frost Queen of the North. After burying her parents, Ynya vows vengeance on those that have wronged her, and promises to find her sisters.

Her bright red hair and the magic that burns within her makes her an obvious target for roaming patrols, but Ynya has a few fiery tricks up her sleeve. Naturally playful and incredibly hot headed, keeping a low profile does not come naturally to her. But she will do anything to find her sister.

But no one can get under her skin quite like her older sister. Despite their differences, the two must learn to work together to find safety in an unforgiving world.

Igniting Vengeance is the exciting first entry in the Frost Fervor Concordance. This Dark Young-to-New Adult Fantasy story is chock full of adventure, action, and righteous fury.

THE CRUELEST WORDS IN ANY LANGUAGE: “YOUR KIND.”

An exotic, futuristic epic fantasy, the Rise of the Iliri series captures a world at its most bleak—and most hopeful: a nation of terrorists called the Terrans, under the thumb of an evil Emperor, sets out to systematically destroy every race but their own. And they’re just about to succeed. Author Auryn Hadley cleverly blends adventure amidst brutal war with the age-old human struggle between good and evil, hatred and love—all through the lens of a powerful and intriguing female lead, the likes of which the fantasy genre hasn’t yet seen.

On a world named Ogun, where humans define “our kind” and “their kind,” Private Salryc Luxx is iliri, a member of "their kind" bred by humans thousands of years ago for protection. In an unfortunate twist of fate, the iliri also happen to be a dangerous predator. Enslaved until being conscripted into the army at eighteen after biting a military officer on the shoulder, Sal’s one and only goal is to fight her way into the Black Blades, an elite special operations unit within the army of the Conglomerate of Free Citizens. To be feared as a Black Blade is as close to freedom as an iliran can get.

And her appearance—the milky-white skin, long white hair, pale inhuman eyes, and expressive ears on the top of her head—ensures that she will never be mistaken for anything but the rarest of her kind, a pure iliri female. It comes with powers no man can resist, even if it means his death... Humans treat her like a freak, but iliri instantly recognize the perfection of exactly what she was designed to be: an unequaled killing machine. Able to see in the dark, with acute hearing and a sense of smell sensitive enough to read emotions, the iliri are smaller but more powerful than humans, the females quicker than the males and, therefore, deadlier.

But Sal has no idea what she is. She was raised solely among humans, with no exposure to her own kind or their traditions. Everything she thinks she knows about herself came to her through the eyes of humans—who care for nothing but their own kind. Acceptance into the Blades has given her the family she’s never had, not to mention access to a devoted line of potential mates. And with it, the protection of seven of the fiercest warriors in existence.  After only a few months of training, she surpasses their skills and becomes the most lethal member of the unit. It will take much longer for them to teach her who she is: their destiny.

Each of the Black Blades will die to protect her. Some of them will submit to the bloodlust that overtakes her in battle and can be quenched only by roughly passionate mating.  Eventually, all of them will submit to her command. They are her pack. Soon the world will learn what she now knows, that the Black Blades, the best of the elites, are all iliri.

Author Hadley has crafted a multi-layered fantasy series—and a fascinating new world. Her heroine, Sal, is as loving as she is fierce, and the demons she battles—and the way she beats them—underlie a deeper earthly truth. Hadley’s clever takes on racial prejudice are subtle, yet damning--and her idea of sexual politics is a rip-roaring turn-on. Every female reader will want to be Sal…and every male, like the guys in the book, will fall for her.

Did we mention the erotic scenes are hot?  Steamy!

This is the first book in an action-packed, epic, science-based fantasy series that fans of  Avatar and Game of Thrones will love; not to mention The Dragonriders of Pern.  BloodLust does not end with a cliffhanger.  It does contain adult themes, thus may not be suitable for younger readers.

The city's mightiest champion, Achilles, lost his mind during a showdown with the enigmatic supervillain Thanatos and went on a rampage across the city, leaving the Banshee dead and a swath of destruction in his wake before Pendragon could stop him.

Today, as Achilles rots in solitary confinement, Victoria Westerdale investigates a new mystery. Why are young and forgotten heroes disappearing off the streets? Why doesn't anybody else care? And how is it tied in to those infamous events that brought the city's greatest heroes to ruin?

But in all Harry’s years of supernatural sleuthing, he’s never faced anything like this: the spirit world’s gone postal. All over Chicago, ghosts are causing trouble—and not just of the door-slamming, boo-shouting variety. These ghosts are tormented, violent, and deadly.

If Harry doesn’t figure it out soon, he could wind up a ghost himself...

"Fast-paced action and a decisive, strong-minded heroine make this a good choice for fans of the postapocalyptic thrillers." --Library Journal
Fans of Lisbeth Salander of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and Katniss Everdeen of The Hunger Games will love Rica Marin, a new kickass, gunslinging heroine.

Rica Marin’s a mercenary—a hired gun, soldier, and spy who answers only to whoever can keep her in the meds she and her only living relative need to survive the plagues that scourge the earth after biological warfare’s wiped out pretty much everything.

It’s a strange world that’s left—composed of tiny city-states like Redwood, Sierra, and Rocky—run with a variety of futuristic machines and broken-down ones. Fancy new cars float as well as roll, but the Internet’s now so glitchy you can't even blog properly—newspapers have come back! So many machines are in disrepair that a fixer in this world isn't someone who rigs elections or cleans up after murders—it’s a person who can repair both an elevator and an ancient toilet. But roving bands of bandits, godders, causies, breeders, khakis, and toxies threaten to destroy what’s just been fixed.

Anywhere there are people—however few—there’ll be power plays, and Rica’s current job at the Blackjack Casino is to run interference between the warring clans of Tahoe, in tiny Sierra. But then the city-state of Rocky gets ambitious. And that means war.

" ...truly one of those books that the reader simply cannot set aside until completion. A story whose pace is akin to the speed of a rocket-launcher missile, Blackjack will grasp any reader by the throat and hang on till the end. What characters! What plotting! ... (Torch Song) will linger in the mind for long after the completion, with the question ringing: Could a near-future like this actually occur?" —Euro-Reviews

WHO WILL LIKE IT: Fans of THE HUNGER GAMES Trilogy, The Millennium Trilogy, and post-apocalyptic thrillers and dystopian fiction. Think LEGEND for adults, or a literary expansion of THE BOOK OF ELI.

"Shelley Singer does an excellent job of describing a bleak future of the US.... Shelley’s world is dark and gritty with complex characters and an intriguing theme." -- Night Owl Reviews

WHEN THE OCEANS RISE...THE TRUTH DROWNS

It's the year 2031. Our future. Their present. A world decimated by climate catastrophe, where the sun's heat is deadly and the ocean rises higher every day. A world ruled by the rich, powerful, and corrupt. A world where a good man can’t survive for long.

Hogan Duran was a good man once. He was a cop, forced to resign in disgrace when he couldn't save his partner from a bullet. Now Hogan lives on the fraying edges of society, serving cruel masters and scavenging trash dumps just to survive.

But after four years of living in poverty, Hogan finally gets a chance to get back on his feet. He's invited to join the National Security Council, the powerful paramilitary organization responsible for protecting the rich and powerful from the more unsavory elements of society. All he needs to do is pass their deadly entrance exam, and he'll be rewarded with wealth and opportunity beyond his wildest dreams.

But this ex-cop's path to redemption won't be easy. The NSC are hiding something, and as Hogan descends deeper and deeper into their world, he starts to uncover the terrible truth of how the powerful in this new world maintain their power...and just how far they will go to protect their secrets.

In a world gone wrong, can one man actually make a difference, or will he die trying?

Life in deep space could be a drag sometimes, but Daisy supposed things could have been worse. They were still alive, after all, which was always a plus in her book. Now if only she could figure out who, or what, was endangering her return home, things would be just peachy.

It had been one hell of a way to start the day––being rudely snapped from a deep cryo-sleep, and in the middle of a ship-wide crisis to boot––but Daisy was pleased to note that the ship had not decompressed, the crew hadn’t been blasted into space, and, most importantly, they hadn’t simply blown up. At least not yet. So, they had that going for them, but being stuck on a damaged ship in the inky depths of space as it limped toward Earth was not exactly the relaxing trip home she’d imagined.

With the powerful AI supercomputer guiding the craft beginning to show some disconcerting quirks of its own, and its unsettling cyborg assistant nosing into her affairs, Daisy’s unease was rapidly growing. Add to the mix a crew of mechanically-enhanced humans, any one of whom she suspected might not be what they seemed, and Daisy found herself with a sense of pending dread tickling the periphery of her mind.

Something was very much not right––she could feel it in her bones. The tricky part now was going to be figuring out what the threat was, before it could manifest from a mere sinking feeling in her gut into a potentially deadly reality.
