Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EBook Bundle containing Books One to Three in the Crossroads Keeper series. Greek gods of myth and legend mingle with supernatural creatures of fantasy in this modern series filled with adventure, snarky humor, a smidge of romance, and new-found family ties. Hecate's Heir - Book One Alex discovers she is heir to a goddess's creation ... and the goddess needs her help to save it. When a Crossroads Keeper is murdered, Alex inherits a legacy in a supernatural world she never knew existed. A fireside chat with the goddess Hecate binds Alex to a Crossroads as its Keeper. Apparently, its a learn or die kind of job... Soon, nightmares powerful enough to kill plague her dreams and undead souls from the Underworld attack her Crossroads. Alex is forced to investigate the darkness threatening her Crossroads and her new supernatural community. Aided by her magical Familiar, Larry, a snarky, sassy pink-eared poodle, and Conor, a too-sexy Hellhound Barghest shifter, plus a quirky supernatural posse, Alex must bring the battle to the Underworld ... or risk divine chaos conquering all the realms. Persephone's Problem - Book Two A wayward goddess with a problem lover, a treacherous Fae prince, and a surprise visit from a trio of long-lost relatives nixes Alex's wish for a quiet life. Persephone knew her affair with the Fae prince wasn't a good idea, but she's a sucker for a handsome face and polite manners. When the prince demands she use her powerful divine magic to help him stage a royal coup, the goddess calls in a favor and dumps the brewing mess in Alex's lap. Before Alex can deal with Persephone's problem, the Fates descend on the Crossroads for a surprise visit with their newest niece. Alex soon learns that the magic she inherited from her divine grandfather, Chronos, is vastly more dangerous than anyone suspected ... even the gods. Alex must use every scrap of her abysmal diplomacy skills and new-found death magic to wrangle her crazy new relatives, referee Persephone's boyfriend problem, and prevent a bloody war for the Fae throne before it spills over into the Crossroads and endangers her heart family ... and everyone else in its path. Demeter's Dilemma - Book Three Alex is summoned to a dinner party with the gods on Mount Olympus. What could possibly go wrong? Just about everything... Busy juggling death magic training with the Fates, ignoring ominous texts from her estranged mother, and fighting with an over-protective Hellhound lover, Alex doesn't have time for socializing, but she can't really say no when a cranky cherub delivers Zeus's dinner invite. Before Alex can choose her dress for the divine dinner party, a goddess with a dilemma descends on the Crossroads, demanding that Alex skip the dinner party, as death is on the menu ... for both of them. The rebellion amongst the gods is heating up and an attack on the only Keeper alive who can help Alex learn the truth about her unique powers leaves Alex with no choice. She must rally her supernatural posse to take on an old enemy and save a new friend, but using her dangerous new death magic might just be the end of everything. Greek gods of myth and legend mingle with supernatural creatures of fantasy in this modern series filled with adventure, snarky humor, a smidge of romance, and new-found family ties.
Download or read book Assassin s Quest written by Robin Hobb and published by Spectra. This book was released on 1998-01-05 with total page 769 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An enthralling conclusion to this superb trilogy, displaying an exceptional combination of originality, magic, adventure, character, and drama.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review) King Shrewd is dead at the hands of his son Regal. As is Fitz—or so his enemies and friends believe. But with the help of his allies and his beast magic, he emerges from the grave, deeply scarred in body and soul. The kingdom also teeters toward ruin: Regal has plundered and abandoned the capital, while the rightful heir, Prince Verity, is lost to his mad quest—perhaps to death. Only Verity’s return—or the heir his princess carries—can save the Six Duchies. But Fitz will not wait. Driven by loss and bitter memories, he undertakes a quest: to kill Regal. The journey casts him into deep waters, as he discovers wild currents of magic within him—currents that will either drown him or make him something more than he was. Praise for Robin Hobb and Assassin’s Quest “Fantasy as it ought to be written . . . Robin Hobb’s books are diamonds in a sea of zircons.”—George R. R. Martin “Superbly written, wholly satisfying, unforgettable: better than any fantasy trilogy in print—including mine!”—Melanie Rawn

In just a few weeks, I've gone from living in a psychiatric hospital, to learning I have magic, to joining a secret society of witches. I've also had to come to terms with both what I am and where I came from. Half demon, half witch, born in the demon real-a magical mutation created for sacrificial purposes. It's so nice knowing that the woman who raised me only did so because she was planning to spill my blood on her sacrificial altar. So, yeah. No wonder I went crazy. Since joining the ranks of the Shadow Order, I've made friends and enemies. I also fell in love with a kind and sexy guy named Kai. Now, that love has been stolen from me by the same monsters that want to steal my magic. With the clock ticking down on what's left of Kai's life, I need to come up with a solution fast. So far, I've got nothing. Meanwhile, werewolves and vampires are turning up dead, seemingly at the hands of witches. Not surprisingly, those other tribes are calling out for blood. Like that's not enough, witches are being exposed and threatened by a new group calling themselves the Hunters. And what do they want, exactly? Just the eradication of our kind entirely. Then there's the deal I make with a Fae goddess, which at first looks like it might provide me with what I need to defeat my enemies. Instead, it leaves me facing an impossible choice. I'll have to either leave Kai to his fate or doom everyone else. Crossroads Witch is a fast-paced, unpredictable new urban fantasy series that readers are calling "amazing," "with strong female leads," and "full of excitement!"
