Asharic is a powerful Fae, exiled by the Veiled Queen thirty years ago. Leaving me behind. But now the queen is dead and the throne is vacant, and Ash is returning to the City—my City—with his mercenary army.

A Blood lord is poised to conquer the Half-Light City, and other enemies new and old are gathering to eliminate the threat Ash poses. To save the City, we will have to join forces.

Download or read book The Lesley Glaister Collection Volume Two written by Lesley Glaister and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2018-07-31 with total page 642 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three tales of psychological suspense from a British novelist who “along with Ruth Rendell, has almost cornered the market in horror stories” (The Times, London). According to the Independent on Sunday, Lesley Glaister “has the uncomfortable knack of putting her finger on the things we most fear.” In this spine-chilling anthology, the Somerset Maugham Award–winning novelist finds terror in a Japanese prison camp, a hotel lobby, and the Australian outback. Easy Peasy: Zelda is getting ready for a date when the call comes: Her father has hanged himself. His suicide brings back terrifying childhood memories of screams in the night. A POW in a Japanese prison camp during World War II, her father was haunted by nightmares and guilty secrets. Zelda’s journey into the past unearths troubling questions that must finally be answered. “Utterly satisfying . . . beautifully structured and almost painfully tender.” —The Sunday Telegraph Nina Todd Has Gone: While on a business trip, Nina meets a gorgeous man in her hotel lobby, and even before their tryst is over, she’s sorry she did it. The sooner she puts the sordid encounter behind her, the better. But Rupert isn’t who he seems to be. And he isn’t going away. He’s on a personal mission—one he’s been waiting years to fulfill. And it turns out Nina isn’t exactly who she seems to be either. “A first-rate psychological thriller . . . The game of cat-and-mouse between the protagonists is consistently absorbing.” —The Mail on Sunday As Far as You Can Go: For Cassie and Graham, the ad in the newspaper is a dream come true. Spending a year managing a farm in western Australia sounds like the perfect break from their hectic lives. But the weather in Wollongong is stifling hot and the outback is crawling with lethal creatures. And most unsettling of all, Cassie and Graham can’t shake the feeling that they’re being watched. “Chilling plausibility . . . A story whose message will linger long after the book is closed.” —The Scotsman

Download or read book Love First written by Cece Savage and published by Gatekeeper Press. This book was released on 2023-08-07 with total page 507 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With diabolical characters, real struggles, and profound emotions, Love First is inspired from true events and address the journey of young Sheila as she grows into adulthood. It is a coming-of-age story about the struggles of trying to survive in an abusive household, making it out, and finding yourself falling back into the same patterns you once wished to avoid. It is a strikingly dark narrative of the struggles of African American families in America and the unintended prejudices that come with it. Sheila learns to struggle through harassment, physical abuse, emotional manipulation, teenage pregnancy, and multiple betrayals. Sheila is the focal point, but Love First poignantly describes how parents have a huge hand in helping children grow into better, or worse, adults. It also describes the story how three girls Sheila, Lita and Sarah, despite growing up in the same environment, all go on their own drastically different paths. One things is for sure, if Sheila wants to make it out, she cannot stay pure and innocent. She must fight fire with fire. She grows, from strong-willed, good-intentioned, albeit slightly gullible, young woman into a fierce adult who vows to fight for her children till the very end. Unfortunately, through the process, she becomes the very thing that she wholeheartedly despises. Her mother.
