Master and Commander meets Sarah J Maas in a seafaring adventure of duty, love, magic, and a princess’s quest to protect her kingdom on her own terms.

After a lifetime of training, seventeen-year-old Princess Nile Greysik, a lieutenant on the prestigious Ashing navy flagship, sails into battle with one vital mission—and fails.

Barred from the sea and facing a political marriage, Nile masquerades as a common sailor on the first ship she can find. With a cowardly captain, incompetent crew, and a cruel, too-handsome first officer intent on making her life a living hell, Nile must hide her identity while trying to turn the sorry frigate battleworthy. Worse, a terrifying and forbidden magic now tingles in Nile’s blood. If anyone catches wind of who Nile is or what she can do, her life is over.

But when disaster threatens the ship, Nile may have no choice but to unleash the truth that will curse her future.

AIR AND ASH is the thrilling first installment of the TIDES series. Recommended for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Tamora Pierce, and David Weber.

All I want to do is forget. Turns out, that's a lot harder than I anticipated.

Sixteen-year-old Jeanne Rowe used to love Life . . . until Life took a sharp turn and never straightened out. Haunted by memories she would rather forget, she tries to push forward, leaving the past where it belongs--in the past.

Four months after the life-altering incident, all seems well. Until an unforeseen figure re-enters her life. Then she discovers that those memories weren't ever locked up. They had only been waiting for the right moment to take her down--beneath rock bottom.

In hopes of appearing stronger than she truly feels, Jeanne pushes away those closest to her, including the one person who's determined to help her.

I'm fine. I'll be fine . . . But even she knows better.


*This young adult coming of age story deals with a heavy subject matter

The family saga begins in Debutante, a prequel to the best-selling Davenport House series. A life of luxury for the Davenports means drudgery for the servants on the grand country estate. This is their story in 1909 America, six years prior to the events of book one.

As the day of Mary's debutante ball draws near, the servants are conflicted by instructions from Mary's mother to starve her until she fits into a gown that was made too small. Mary is also under pressure to act the part of society while being forbidden from seeing her only friend, the servant boy who works in the stable.

In a shantytown hours away, a young girl called Abigail is hired to sew a gown for a dressmaker's wealthy patron. Abigail gives up her education in order to provide for her impoverished family. Neither she nor Mary is aware of how connected their futures are destined to become.

Fenesia Thornbark is a heroine to her people

When the Kakus, a totalitarian government, destroys her home and kills her parents, they have no idea that they have made her a lethal weapon and their worst enemy.

The Kakus rule with impunity, dividing their people into classes—some having more rights and privileges than others based solely on physical attributes. However, the people rise-up. And Fenesia Thornbark, whom had once been privileged, rises with them after losing her home and parents. She becomes a warrior to be reckoned with, yet she questions the rights and wrongs of war and killing.

Nestled within the folds of a war-torn and ruined world, there lies a village. It has no name; it is full of secrets.

Its women survive because they seem to have found a remedy for war; its men survive because the women let them. They all survive because Fate allows it.

Kate never thought much about Fate until she decided not to believe in it anymore. Destined to become a breeder, she wakes up on her sixteenth birthday determined to defy this duty at all cost. It is a heavy price. For her open rebellion, Mona, the Village counsel leader, drags her to the Pit and forces her to confront her mate for the first time.

He is not what Kate expected.

Despite Mona's fierce punishments for Kate's disobedience, the tug of her heart grows stronger; it beckons her away from this life and lures her toward the truth about herself, about her village, and about the boy assigned to be her mate.

The questions bring her hope... but the answers?

They terrify her.

A fantasy about the ancient gods in modern times.

Thrust into a world she never knew existed; Jo discovers she’s anything but normal. She was born to be a reaper, but her father’s crimes have already stacked the deck against her and she must prove she deserves a place on that side of the veil.

When souls start disappearing from the rolls, she’s persuaded into making a decision that sends her away from her new home and into a bond with the powerful and dangerous, Caius. Ending up in his company was never on Jo’s bucket list. Caius is supposed to be her enemy. But when the truth of her true heritage is revealed, he may be the only one who can keep her alive.
 

Julia Long’s senior year is starting with an extra dose of crazy. First, there are the creepy dreams about bloody cult rituals. Then, her new classmate and crush, Southern charmer Graham, shows up in her nightmares as the sacrificial victim. And these dreams seem to be telling her she’s supposed to save him, when in real life she can barely talk to the guy.

One thing’s for sure, Graham is mysterious. He and his sister are tight-lipped about their time in the south, and Julia suspects they’re on the run from something or someone. As her dreams intensify, Julia begins to manifest strange abilities, and when Graham is near, they kick into overdrive.

There's no more denying it. Not only is Julia falling for Graham, but she has a magical connection to him. A connection that will put them both in mortal danger when Graham's dark past finally catches up with him.


With love, magic, and adventure; fans of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight and Cassandra Clare's Immortal Instruments will love this suspenseful tale.

Unbeknownst to her, Alexandria has been the guinea pig in an alien experiment. Ronan, a human with his own alien-entangled past, sets to help her escape their clutches and maybe win her heart. This debut science fiction novel is fast-paced, action packed, and remarkably unique!

Sixteen-year-old Leocadia arrives home from school to find her mom’s bloody body. Unaware that the killer still lingers, she rushes to her mother’s side, only to be grabbed from behind and then everything fades to black.
After a year of retrograde amnesia and battling personal demons, Leo’s dreams are getting worse—she’s starting to remember. More bodies are discovered and they seem to be oddly linked to her mom’s unsolved homicide.
When Leo allows her friend, Henry to drag her into the haunted Lucien Mansion, misty ghosts appear, ghosts that just might lead to her mother’s murderer.
Will Leo let her memories threaten her into a relapse or, will she fight to find her mother’s killer – only to become his next victim?

I never had a problem with ghosts, with anything paranormal. It’s part of the teen angst that frames my life. Don’t get me wrong—I’m not hung up on some romantic gothic cliché. I’m not even trying to say I have supernatural powers. I just see what you can’t. Hear what you can’t.

My truth? It’s easier to believe in the dead, trapped by demons and freed by angels, than the fantasy of ordinary life circling in loops of routine as the one and only reality.

There’s a war of survival lurking in the unseen. Some of it’s internal, some isn’t.

When I understood darkness was feeding on those trapped, I had a moral hitch. Was it survival of the fittest, or the beginning of the end?

Standing up for the wretched cost me everything.

My story begins now.
