Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the ALA Reading List Award Difficult and obstinate. Thriving under a set of specific and limited conditions. That pretty much describes me. Maybe that’s why I like these roses so much. Roses are Galilee Garner’s passion. An amateur breeder, she painstakingly cross-pollinates her plants to coax out new, better traits, striving to create a perfect strain of her favorite flower, the Hulthemia. Her dream is to win a major rose competition and one day have her version of the bloom sold in the commercial market. Gal carefully calibrates the rest of her time to manage the kidney failure she’s had since childhood, going to dialysis every other night, and teaching high school biology, where she is known for her exacting standards. The routine leaves little room for relationships, and Gal prefers it that way. Her roses never disappoint her the way people have. Then one afternoon, Riley, the teenaged daughter of Gal’s estranged sister, arrives unannounced to live with her, turning Gal’s orderly existence upside down. Suddenly forced to adjust to each other’s worlds, both will discover a resilience they never knew they had and a bond they never knew they needed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WATER dripped from the next cell over, and faint screams echoed off the walls of the dungeon corridor. Rats squeaked and scurried outside the cell door but were too plump to fit through the gap between the cold, stone floor and iron band holding together the rotten, wooden planks of the door. Weak torch light from the hall filtered into the room from the iron grate at the top of the door, but it failed to illuminate the straw littering the chipped and pitted stone floor. Being musty and dank, it did little to alleviate the cold for the one who huddled upon it. Sitting in the corner on the thickest pile of worn-out straw, Salina shivered, arms wrapped around her drawn-up knees. Unable to see the sun in this underground pit of terror, agony, and unimaginable misery, she wasn't sure how long she'd been here. Nine months? Ten? Had a year passed already since being knocked-out and bound, then dragged here? . . . Everyone else who'd arrived at the same time had long since been released from their pain and misery, for Death had come for them. But not her. Because of her cursed healing ability, Death never even looked her way. . . . . . If this kept up, if no one came for her and Death continued avoiding her, she could only imagine what her future held. . . Lifting her head to glance at the faint light seeping into the cell, she murmured, "Death, be a dark knight and save me. Please." In a land rife with strife and overrun with evil, the Fates are hard-pressed to find someone with enough strength, courage, and mental fortitude to champion their cause. Someone who possessed not only a will of iron to stand up for what is right, no matter who might oppose him, but also the compassion and mercy needed to make a difference in the lives of the common people. So when a half-breed dragon mage appears with the ability to sense evil, they know they've found their man. But in a land torn apart by war and attacked by vicious creatures of the Underdark, can Callidor Blackfury, with his inhuman looks, tainted blood, and hellsteed mount, convince anyone to let him help? And if so, can one man alone, even with the magic powers bestowed by his mixed-heritage and dual nature, be enough to combat the forces of evil? Not only on the battlefield, but on the home front as well? It won't be easy. He is going to need help. A select few, an elite group that has the strength, skill, and resolve to do whatever it takes to wipe out darkness in all its vile forms, to protect those who cannot protect themselves, and to save those who sit in hopeless darkness, with pain and misery their only companions. Yes, with the right men and plenty of resources, the forces of evil just met their match.

Dragons walk among us in human form…but soon the secretive Talon organization will make its move to fly from the shadows and take over the world, in this fiery young adult fantasy series perfect for fans of Marie Liu, Cassandra Clare and Gena Showalter! TALON To take her rightful place in the Talon organization, young dragon Ember Hill must prove she can hide her true nature and blend in with humans. Her delight at the prospect of a summer of “normal” teen experiences is short-lived, however, once she discovers that she’s also expected to train for her destined career in Talon. But a chance meeting with a rogue dragon will soon challenge everything Ember has been taught. ROGUE Ember Hill left the dragon organization Talon to take her chances with rebel dragon Cobalt and his crew of rogues. But she can’t forget Garret, the soldier of the dragonslaying Order of St. George who saved her from a Talon assassin—and by doing so, signed his own death warrant. SOLDIER Forced to choose between becoming an assassin for the dragon organization Talon and being hunted forever as an outcast, Ember Hill now stands with Riley and his band of rogue dragons. She’s lost contact with her twin brother, Dante, a Talon devotee, as well as Garret, the former enemy soldier who challenged her beliefs about her human side. LEGION Dragon hatchling Ember Hill was never prepared to find love at all—dragons do not suffer human emotions—let alone with a human, and a former dragonslayer at that. With ex-soldier of St. George Garret dying at her feet after sacrificing his freedom and his life to expose the deepest of betrayals, Ember knows only that nothing she was taught by dragon organization Talon is true.
