Yseult: A Tale of Tragedy in the Age of King Arthur (The Pendragon Chronicles Book 1)

by Ruth Nestvold

 

"Gripping historical fantasy!" "Simply epic!"

 


For the price of a truce, Yseult is sent to a world where magic is dying - to marry the father of the man she loves.

5th Century Britain is a land on the brink of war. Abandoned by the once great Roman Empire, it must see to its own defense. Under the leadership of Arthur, the kings of Britain fight to push back the Saxon hordes and save what is left of civilization.

The Pendragon Chronicles tell the Arthurian legends re-imagined through what little is known of the historical details of the era. Here is no chivalric society of knights and ladies; here, the battles are real and gritty, love is mixed with lust, and it is not a given that the good survive.

This epic retelling of the tragic legend of Yseult and Drystan plays out against the backdrop of a violent world threatening to descend into the Dark Ages. As a member of the Old Race of Ireland, Yseult could act as a bridge between the old age and the new - but will the price be too high?

What readers are saying about The Pendragon Chronicles:

- "This book is simply Epic! Not only for the length of it (came as a shock after reading novellas for a while!) but also for the amount of history, information and detail given." Review of Yseult by Marissa.

- "For those who like a strong historical component in their historical fiction. Yseult is fully realized as an Irish princess, with a component of "powers" totally appropriate to the myths of Ireland and Arthurian tales. This story made even some of the less likely parts of the tale seem not just plausible, but inevitable." Review by Cary.

- "The book is much more than a love story. It is truly an epic, exploring the conflicts between paganism and Christianity, political maneuvering between the various kings of Britain and Ireland, the wars between themselves and with the Saxons, and a lot more. It reminded me a bit of The Mists of Avalon, although Yseult was much more fun to read." Review by Kriti Godey.

A #1 bestseller in Arthurian fantasy and an international success, with translations into German, Italian and Dutch.

The Daughter of Darkness: A Sarah Prentiss Tale from the Irish Cycle

by David Miller

If one thing doesn't kill her, the other will.

Drawn to the small town of Rocky Hill, New Mexico, Sarah Prentiss immediately finds herself in hot water with the local sheriff. But his problems are way bigger than the thin, six-foot-tall, half-Native-American woman dressed in biker leather and driving a black Ninja motorcycle.
 
In town to hunt down a two-headed, winged serpent that's attacking the locals, Sarah and the sheriff soon find themselves contending with the local mechanic who's actually a demon bent on homicide, a mysterious stranger stalking Sarah, and what just might be a genuine portal into Hell.

Yet, all that's a walk in the park compared to what Sarah discovers at the end of the path, and the inescapable truth she learns about herself.

Trust us, this isn't your typical night in Rocky Hill, New Mexico.

The Hatter and The Hare (Hacking Wonderland Book 2)

by Allyson Lindt

Hatter has made a career of keeping people at arm’s length. He doesn’t expect Reagan to throw a wrench in his plans, though. Intoxicating, brilliant, and incredible in bed, she’s knocked him off-kilter in a way he never expected.

Hare has been called a lot of names in his time—fanatical, mad, and obsessive are at the top of the list. But he’s so close to getting what he wants. No one stands in his way, until Reagan. Her view of the world is an odd blend of rose-colored cynicism, and the things she lets him—begs him to—do her body, haunt his dreams and darkest fantasies. But she could ruin his life if he doesn’t move the chess pieces right.

Both men will risk their livelihoods, connections, and power to have her, but only one will kill if he can’t.

Author's Note: This book is part two of a duet. It does not stand alone. Book 1 is Reagan Through the Looking Glass.

Song of Blood and Fire (Celestial War Chronicles Book 1)

by Erin Bedford

Previously published as Flames of Auriel, now rebranded with updated content.

When living in a world where the prince isn’t always charming, the princess has a mean right hook, and angels are worshiped like gods, love isn’t always easy to find.

Zoe has never been the lady-like princess she's read about in fairy-tales, even with her very own handsome prince to sweep her off her feet. She doesn't know what she dislikes more, his arrogant smirk or the way his grey eyes darken when they fight. Angels help him if he thinks he could tame her.

Asher won't admit it, but he admires the fighting style of his warrior princess. She reminds him of an avenging angel the way her fiery hair whips around her as she takes out her challengers. Dark One help him, but she is as tough an opponent on the battlefield as she is off.

With unknown and unwanted feelings starting to emerge between the two royals, a single goodbye turns into a frantic search for a missing princess. Asher has to find the one woman he never thought he’d miss and keep his kingdom safe from an old enemy. If he fails, the angels may not forgive him this time.

State of Ecstasy (LaCasse Series Book 1)

by Ju Ephraime

Twenty-six year-old Daphne Cohen’s life is closed off, hiding behind an introverted personality to keep from expressing her true self and exploring the depths of what she truly desires. With very few friends and having only been in one sort of intimate relationship, she believes guy number three is the one…until she finds out he’s been sleeping around. Fleeing to Martinique to do some soul searching, she meets her future: Wolfe LaCasse, a devastatingly handsome and sensuous Creole. He takes her on a passionate journey where the fire burns too hot for Daphne, and she flees the island. The problem is, she can’t forget the state of ecstasy she experienced in Wolfe’s arms. Can she risk everything and, for the first time in her life, follow her heart and return to the island?
Spinning a fresh twist on the romance genre, Ju Ephraime’s Daphne is in the driver’s seat and in full control to make the decisions that will change her forever. Daphne’s developed sexuality and power, bridges a gap between the classic and the contemporary with subtle nuances, sparkling insights, and a provocative, sensuous narrative style.
Reminiscent of the works of Lisa Kleypas and Stephanie Laurens, Ms. Ephraime’s rich emotional landscape delivers an achingly accessible complexity that makes State of Ecstasy steamy, provocative, and fresh, and its author a forceful new voice who brings an entirely new level of heat to the genre.
