Seven Ways to Kill a King

by Melissa Wright


She was born a princess. They made her an assassin.

Myrina of Stormskeep should be dead. The seven self-crowned, murderous kings of the Storm Queen's Realm thought she was killed in their massacre. But Myrina lives, and while she draws breath, she plots their end:

One will seem an accident.
Two a coincidence.
By three, they will know.

But vengeance rarely goes according to plan. The worst of the kings holds her sister--rightful queen and heir to the kingdom--captive. If Lettie isn’t freed before she comes into her magic, the kings will hold her power as well.

Myrina can let nothing stop her. With the help of her loyal bloodsworn Cassius, the shadow princess will have her revenge.

Vowed to enact retribution and rescue her sister with no more than her wits and a sword--and the last of her queensguard--this sweet and slightly stabby YA fantasy is perfect for fans of Shielded and The Princess Will Save You.

The Lost Years: Love

by Rowen Lee


A modern take on an age-old question: When forced to choose between her family and the guy she loves, what will Maleeka do?


Sixteen-year-old Maleeka was taught from a young age that family was 
everything. But growing up, she knew she was different from her siblings, who excelled and followed the rules imposed by their strict and hot-tempered first-generation Syrian father. Maleeka pushed boundaries, upending the order her father tried to exert upon his household. Uninterested in becoming a doctor, lawyer or an engineer, Maleeka dreams of writing and singing—of creating her own life story and following her own moral compass. Yearning to be seen and loved just as she is, Maleeka seeks solace in Marc, a high spirited and rebellious—yet sensitive—bad boy. Swept off her feet into his heart and his arms, Maleeka feels more loved and supported by Marc than she does by her family, but she is forbidden to have anything to do with him.

Not wanting to choose between her family and Marc, Maleeka tries to have it both ways. But keeping her relationship with Marc a secret is a constant battle. When her older brother threatens to reveal her secret, Maleeka realizes she has to make a choice between the one she loves and the family she needs.

Can Maleeka and Marc find a way to stay together or will they lose the fight?

The House of Making Things: Leadership in Industry and Science in the Modern World

by Scott Meikle


REVISED EDITION

Computer chip expert Scott Meikle offers a fresh take on a global industry and its future.


Computer chips are everywhere. The pervasiveness of the chip has thrust its development and manufacture onto the center stage of a global struggle for industrial supremacy. From the outset, the struggle has been an East-West competition.

Blending nuanced cultural and geopolitical insight 
The House of Making Things tells a perspective-shifting story set against the international race for dominance in chip manufacturing and technology.

Joint venture TeraSil and expat John Schmidt face a moment of reckoning. The crushing complexity and cost of leading-edge technology has pushed TeraSil’s partners to their limits. As coleader, John Schmidt must navigate through crossed objectives. But as he sits at the nexus of disputes over capital, manufacturing, and technology, he can’t stop a growing realization of who really has the upper hand in the battle for industrial might.

Author Scott Meikle draws upon decades of personal experience in an immersive narrative that brings to life the competition for success in the chip industry—and in the process, he shatters our narrowing Western perspective and delivers a broader understanding of the forces that are driving a global race for leadership in industry and science.

The Helm of Darkness (War on the Gods Book 1)

by A. P. Mobley


The Greek gods are real, and they've come back with a vengeance.

Andy and Zoey are two normal teenagers living in the year 2018—that is, until they're knocked unconscious in a freak storm sweeping the United States.

When they wake up, the world they know has been tossed away. Their city is in ruins, strange creatures walk the earth, and worst of all, everyone is gone.

They stumble across Diana and Spencer, two kids around their age who possess incredible magical abilities, and who claim to be the demigod children of Greek gods. Not only that, they also claim the year is 500 AS, five hundred years after the gods conjured a massive storm that destroyed most of humanity and helped them take the world as their own once again.

Andy and Zoey are soon handed an impossible task: To save humanity. To lead a war on the gods.

They'll have to battle monsters, death, and their own inner demons to survive and to protect the people they love.

Gods. Monsters. Magic. The War on the Gods series is perfect for fans of Greek mythology who want a new twist on the old tales.

Praise for The Helm of Darkness:

"Fabulous reading! Incredible world-building! Characters that come to life! Tons of twists, lots of action!" - Dianne at Tome Tender, ★★★★★


"Even the smallest of characters has a backstory, invoking such a love and engagement in me that it was difficult to drag myself away. I loved all of our protagonists deeply, despite their flaws and behaviours." - JK at Book Odyssey, ★★★★★


"This is the kind of book where you wonder why everyone isn't raving about it because it's the best thing since sliced bread . . . Mobley did a great job writing believable characters that grew over the course of the book but never strayed from their original identity. The characters in this, even minor ones, were given so much detail and show how well-thought-out the story is." - Alexia at BookishEnds, ★★★★★


"I enjoyed seeing a darker side to the Gods. Mostly in books and in real life, we picture Gods as being heavenly light and pure with good intentions. I liked how the readers for once see the greedy, hateful, controlling side as well. I highly recommend this book and cannot wait to read the next book in the series, Poseidon's Trident!" - Julia at Pages for Thoughts, ★★★★★


"For fans of Greek mythology, this story is like a treasure trove of references that is bound to satisfy your appetite." - Alessandro Reale, award winning author of Only One Samantha, ★★★★★


"This was a fast paced, dystopian adventure that I think fans of Percy Jackson would enjoy. There are some darker elements, some instances of gore, and some twists I never saw coming, so this may be better for those fans who age out of Percy." - C.E. Clayton, author of The Monster of Selkirk series, ★★★★★


"After Percy Jackson's adventures this series will be a hit of YA fantasy." - Eszter Szika at Goodreads, ★★★★★


"Author A.P Mobley has written such a unique plot that I'm actually shocked that not a lot of people know about this story. If writing about Greek mythology wasn't enough for A.P Mobley, she also placed the story in the future after the Greek Gods had taken over Earth. Isn't that interesting enough or what? Like I said before but I'll say it again, WHY ISN'T THIS BOOK WELL KNOWN BY OTHER READERS???" - P. G. Guacamole at Goodreads, ★★★★★

What are you waiting for, dear reader? Dive into The Helm of Darkness and team up with Andy and Zoey as they embark on a mythological quest of Homeric proportions!

Magic and the Shinigami Detective (The Case Files of Henri Davenforth Book 1)

by Honor Raconteur


When the Night Foxes boldly break into the Fourth Precinct’s Evidence Building, it causes quite the stir. The break-in is daring enough, but their method shreds the magical wards and protections on the building like confetti paper. To say the police are ‘alarmed’ by this is the understatement of the century.


As a Magical Examiner, Henri Davenforth is of course immediately called in. Quite to his astonishment, Captain Gregson has him work the case like a detective. Even more astounding, he assigns Henri a partner. The Shinigami Detective.

The woman is famous for killing the most destructive rogue witch of the century, and no one is quite certain where she’s from. Every officer in the precinct is either in awe of her or a little frightened by her. Henri is just baffled. What is he supposed to do with a partner?

Hopefully killing one witch makes Jamie Edwards enough of an expert on magic to be helpful, as the thieves aren’t content to just break into one building. They in fact seem to have an agenda, as with each theft, they take magical objects. It’s all mounting to a dangerously powerful magical construct capable of toppling the wards on any building.

And no one has any idea what the thieves’ true target is.

The Liar’s Crown (Dominions Book 1)

by Abigail Owen


“An addictive, action-packed, scorcher of a read!”
 —#1 New York Times bestselling author Alyson Noël

Some shadows protect you…others will kill you in this dazzling new fantasy series from award-winning author Abigail Owen.

Everything about my life is a lie. As a hidden twin princess, born second, I have only one purpose—to sacrifice my life for my sister if death comes for her. I’ve been living under the guise of a poor, obscure girl of no standing, slipping into the palace and into the role of the true princess when danger is present.

Now the queen is dead and the ageless King Eidolon has sent my sister a gift—an eerily familiar gift—and a proposal to wed. I don’t trust him, so I do what I was born to do and secretly take her place on the eve of the coronation. Which is why, when a figure made of shadow kidnaps the new queen, he gets me by mistake.

As I try to escape, all the lies start to unravel. And not just my lies. The Shadowraith who took me has secrets of his own. He struggles to contain the shadows he wields—other faces, identities that threaten my very life.

Winter is at the walls. Darkness is looming. And the only way to save my sister and our dominion is to kill Eidolon…and the Shadowraith who has stolen my heart.
