Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This intriguing tale of magic and mayhem delves deep into the human psyche and shows what great writing and characters are all about. It grabs you by the throat and heartstrings and won’t let go. If BLOOD OF THE FOUR isn’t on your Must Be Read pile, it should be!” — Sherrilyn Kenyon, #1 New York Times Bestselling of the Dark-Hunters & Nevermore “BLOOD OF THE FOUR is magnificent! Epic in scope, grand in execution, and majestic and bloodthirsty in equal measure.” — Sarah Beth Durst, author of The Queens of Renthia series “There’s something for everyone here, including some subtly feminist themes and several spectacular displays of magical conflict. This novel is an expert crowd-pleaser.” — Publishers Weekly “Golden and Lebbon pull off pure magic with BLOOD OF THE FOUR. Easily one of the best fantasies I’ve read in the last ten years. BLOOD OF THE FOUR kicks all kinds of ass!” — James A. Moore, author of the SEVEN FORGES and TIDES OF WAR series “Blood of the Four is definitely fantasy on an epic level, contained in an overwhelming single volume for the reader’s convenience.” — New York Journal of Books “Epic. Horror titans Golden (Ararat, 2017) and Lebbon (Relics, 2017), who previously teamed up on th YA series The Secret Journeys of Jack London (The Wild, 2011), meld their talents again in this fantasy of madness and war.” — Booklist “In a genre overcrowded by ever expanding series, this book demonstrates that there is plenty of room for action and intrigue in a stand-alone [...] A nicely self-contained and kinetic excursion into political fantasy.” — Kirkus Reviews “Thoughtful and thoroughly entertaining.” — B&N Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog “If you love epic fantasy, especially if you are looking for one where you can read it all without endless waiting for a next volume or spending a year of your life wading through a dozen or more doorstops, grab a copy of BLOOD OF THE FOUR.” — Reading Reality “This book blew my expectations away, making me extra glad I actually read it! I would wholeheartedly recommend this, especially since it’s not like a 10 book commitment – it’s a standalone after all! 5/5 would book-push this book. 5/5 would read again.” — Power & Page “BLOOD OF THE FOUR is a fun read. The partnership of Golden and Lebbon has resulted in a stylistically seamless narrative [...] The attention paid to gender makes the book refreshingly contemporary and adds important intellectual and cultural heft to an entertaining tale.” — Bookreporter.com “Christopher Golden and Tim Lebbon are a formidable pair of writers of fantasy stories. They have total control over their characters and the character arcs are finished perfectly. It is a real treat for all those who enjoy reading fantasy fiction.” — Washington Book Review “What do you get when you bring two skilled authors together and the write a book? The answer is simple, something rather wonderful.” — The Eloquent Page

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the national and USA TODAY bestselling author of Darling Rose Gold comes a dark, thrilling novel about two sisters—one trapped in the clutches of a cult, the other in a web of her own lies. Welcome to Wisewood. We’ll keep your secrets if you keep ours. Natalie Collins hasn’t heard from her sister in more than half a year. The last time they spoke, Kit was slogging from mundane workdays to obligatory happy hours to crying in the shower about their dead mother. She told Natalie she was sure there was something more out there. And then she found Wisewood. On a private island off the coast of Maine, Wisewood’s guests commit to six-month stays. During this time, they’re prohibited from contact with the rest of the world—no Internet, no phones, no exceptions. But the rules are for a good reason: to keep guests focused on achieving true fearlessness so they can become their Maximized Selves. Natalie thinks it’s a bad idea, but Kit has had enough of her sister’s cynicism and voluntarily disappears off the grid. Six months later, Natalie receives a menacing email from a Wisewood account threatening to reveal the secret she’s been keeping from Kit. Panicked, Natalie hurries north to come clean to her sister and bring her home. But she’s about to learn that Wisewood won’t let either of them go without a fight.
