That means eliminating all threats. The first to go is Guina. Though no longer a viable threat, she can’t remain in Mull and the former queen is forced to live on the handouts of friends far away from the capital. The second to go is Alric. Though he is now Bradwr’s son-in-law, Alric has more claim to the throne and despite the promise to Pavia of his safe return, Bradwr orders that his son-in-law have an unfortunate accident – a permanent one. Amidst the turmoil, Alexis manages to transgress Gambrian custom and finds herself at odds with the new King. Unwilling to obey, she escapes to the south, taking the nation’s Tarrac with her. But Bradwr has a blind spot and overlooked another’s ambition, someone who desperately wants to rule Gambria – alone. And she might just pull it off.

Removed as High Priest, he and his pregnant lover have been exiled to the wastelands, a land so desolate that it’s merely a matter of days before their dried-up shriveled bodies are food for the jackals. Unable to save Duncan, Alexis retreats to the Tarrac pastures only to discover her adoptive father Menec has decided he’s had enough of palace intrigue and is off to the far north to find out what happened to his father all those years ago. Unfortunately, as the new Tarrac Master and nation’s Berserker, Alexis’ loyalty and obedience are demanded by the very man who sent Duncan to his death. However, things aren’t going too well for King Diad as he finally realizes he has run out of time and quickly discovers he doesn’t have the necessary forces to prevent his brother’s quest to rule Gambria. With his brother marching on Mull, Diad must find a way to save himself. Back in the Temple, life seems to have returned to the dark days when Vix was High Priest as Cattwg has finally achieved his greatest ambition. Yet there are many in the Temple who remember the vibrance of life during the brief time when Duncan was in charge. Though they are silent, their thoughts are the same – if only Duncan was still here.

Book excerpt: When Caitrin learns the terrible secret of her past, she flees to Duncan with the hope he will understand, only to be frustrated when Brenna barges in unannounced. It is when she reveals her secret that they understand the full implication and what it means for the kingdom. In the south, Alexis learns that while she may be Cinoc Mar’s berserker, they don’t trust her. With Deryn off learning to be a Mage, Alexis realizes she has no friends in Cinoc Mar, that all the people she truly cares for are back in Mull. It’s when she discovers Cobhan’s battle plans for an attack on Gambria that she knows she must make a choice – either take up arms and fight against her battle-sisters in Gambria or escape from Cinoc Mar and take up arms against the very warriors she’s been training, the same warriors who have given her their faith and confidence. To the west, Gambria is now on high alert as Rugia has begun probing Gambria’s borders, searching for weaknesses in their defenses. The king must be told at once! Unfortunately, the king is no longer capable of leading the kingdom, and the commanderie lords know that Diad must be forced to step down. They must quickly choose another before it is too late. And therein lies the problem, for Alric is the heir apparent, but that means Pavia will be Queen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Readers fascinated with the Romanovs and this tumultuous period in Russian history will be enthralled by this deliciously dark and memorable novel.” —Publishers Weekly Inspired by real characters, this transporting historical fiction debut spins the fascinating story of two princesses in the Romanov court who practiced black magic, befriended the Tsarina, and invited Rasputin into their lives—forever changing the course of Russian history. As daughters of the impoverished King of Montenegro, Militza and Stana must fulfill their duty to their father and leave their beloved home for St. Petersburg to be married into senior positions in the Romanov court. For their new alliances to the Russian nobility will help secure the future of the sisters’ native country. Immediately, Militza and Stana feel like outcasts as the aristocracy shuns them for their provincial ways and for dabbling in the occult. Undeterred, the sisters become resolved to make their mark by falling in with the lonely, depressed Tsarina Alexandra, who—as an Anglo-German—is also an outsider and is not fully accepted by members of the court. After numerous failed attempts to precipitate the birth of a son and heir, the Tsarina is desperate and decides to place her faith in the sisters’ expertise with black magic. Promising the Tsarina that they will be able to secure an heir for the Russian dynasty, Militza and Stana hold séances and experiment with rituals and spells. Gurus, clairvoyants, holy fools, and charlatans all try their luck. The closer they become to the Tsarina and the royal family, the more their status—and power—is elevated. But when the sisters invoke a spiritual shaman, who goes by the name of Rasputin, the die is cast. For they have not only irrevocably sealed their own fates—but also that of Russia itself.

Book excerpt: A musician is transported into a land of magic—from the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Star Trek Into Darkness. Jonathan Thomas Meriweather is a typical college student, interested in girls, music, and an occasional taste of reefer. But when a journey through an interdimensional portal lands him in a world of talking animals and ominous sorcery, he finds he is on a very different trip indeed. Here, when he plays a strange instrument called a duar, peculiar things happen: powerful magic that may be the only way to stop a dark force that threatens his new world—and his old one. Reluctantly, he finds himself teaming up with a semi-senile turtle wizard; a thieving, backstabbing otter; and a bewildered Marxist dragon to rally an army for the war about to come. Spellsinger, the first in Alan Dean Foster’s eight-book Spellsinger series, introduces a world of magic and mayhem, where animals are people and plunging ahead no matter what the consequences may be the only way to survive.
