Balance

by Inghild Økland


A runaway princess. Time-twisting magic. What she doesn’t want? A knight to the rescue.

As Vildi, the less important princess of Rimdalir, my duty is to marry, and marry well. To the glacial chasms of hell with that!

I want adventure. A nice, suitor-free yet fairy-tale adventure. I can even endure rants about a tragic prince, if it brings me honey cake. Throw in a few mysteries, a sprinkle of old magic, and I’m happy.

That's what I thought.

Yet upon arriving in Lakari, Land of the Sun, I wander through familiar streets. I recognize the people, the taverns, even the black cat strolling as royalty through the market square. In this new land, no one was supposed to know my name, and yet I'm hunted.

Already they have killed me many, many times. And so I start over.

When a stranger finds me in the desert night, will he be my savior, or my undoing?

After a childhood watching Disney, speckled with a touch of The Prince of Persia and inspired by Re:Zero, Balance is a story about a headstrong heroine, the clutches of magic, and a prince's secrets.

If you like fantasy, romance, and a fairy-tale adventure, let yourself be whisked away on Vildi’s journey, only one click away.

Awaken (Awakened Fate Book 1)

But the first day she goes out on the ocean, strange things start to happen. Dangerous things that should be impossible. Things to which ‘normal’ doesn't even begin to apply.

Now madmen are hunting her. A mysterious guy with glowing blue eyes is following her. And her best friend’s stepbrother seems to be hiding secrets all his own.

It was supposed to be a vacation. It's turning out to be a whole lot more.

WHEN GODS CLASH: THE BLUE PENDANT

by ROB JAMES


A genre-bending breakout novel from a bold, fresh voice in contemporary fiction. Think Highlander, all set in the present day.

While visiting the battlefield of Culloden, Scotland, US marine veteran Angus MacDonald hears a voice. A voice that connects him to his forefathers, butchered by the British in 1746. It delivers a frightening message: Fight an unworldly foe or prepare for Earth’s enslavement.
The terrors he faced in Afghanistan pale compared to this latest enemy and the toughest battle of his life begins. The voice of the Gods of mythology had told him Hades was alone in his hate, but no, and the vicious attacks are beyond his imaginings as the theater of war spreads.

Can he preserve his sanity and survive?

He must confront history to defend the world from servitude while unraveling his strange heritage. He strives to discover millennia-old truths from Olympus, Greece, and the violent history that produced them. The truth of who bred him to die saving humanity. When he returns to Washington, D.C., the enemy, Hades, follows.

Rob James’ WHEN GODS CLASH includes a fascinating take on Greek mythology through vivid world-building. This novel is a searing, unique makeover of loved themes.
