I am Llandry Sanfaer: shapeshifter, ambassador, colony leader. My people are dying beyond hope of revival, and it falls to me to stop it. But the killer leaves nothing behind — not a single clue. Worse, the corrupted energy of Orlind has broken its confines. It's spreading. If it isn’t stopped, all the Worlds could go under. With my people and my Worlds under threat, I'll need all my wits, my strength, and every ally I can muster to set things right. It’s going to be a hard fight.

Book excerpt: THINK ABOUT HISTORY. NOW MAKE IT WORSE... The Domination of the Draka begins as a British possession in Africa, but soon becomes far more. Absorbing refugees after the American Revolution, and later the Civil War, the Draka become a people bred to rule with an iron fist. They permanently enslave the peoples of Africa, when they do not simply kill them. But this does not slake the Draka thirst for power. Sweeping across the world, the Draka empire engulfs nation after nation, shackling into servitude all who are not Draka. Europe, Asia, and finally all the Earth and its colonies throughout the Solar System fall before the might of the Draka. But empires are not faceless monoliths; they are made of individuals, complex humans with their own hopes and dreams. And so one might ask: Who are the Draka? What sort of people does the Domination rule? The Draka would have many different answers... ...and this is their story.

Book excerpt: For centuries they’ve lived in secret among northern England’s green and misted hills. Creatures of extraordinary beauty, power, and sensuality, they possess the ability to shape-shift from human to dragon and back again. Now their secret—and their survival—is threatened by a temptation that will break every boundary. . . . Dubbed the Smoke Thief, a daring jewel thief is confounding the London police. His wealthy victims claim the master burglar can walk through walls and vanish into thin air. But Christoff, the charismatic Marquess of Langford, knows the truth: the thief is no ordinary human but a “runner” who’s fled Darkfrith without permission. As Alpha leader of the dra´kon, it’s Kit’s duty to capture the fugitive before the secrets of the tribe are revealed to mortals. But not even Kit suspects that the Smoke Thief could be a woman. Clarissa Rue Hawthorne knew her dangerous exploits would attract the attention of the dra´kon. But she didn’t expect Christoff himself to come to London, dangling the tribe’s most valuable jewel–the Langford Diamond–as bait. For as long as she could remember, Rue had lived the life of a halfling–half dra´kon, half mortal–and an outcast in both worlds. She’d always loved the handsome and willful Kit from the only place it was safe: from afar. But now she was no longer the shy, timid girl she’d once been. She was the first woman capable of making the Turn in four generations. So why did she still feel the same dizzying sense of vulnerability whenever he was near? From the moment he saw her, Kit knew that the alluring and powerful beauty was every bit his Alpha equal and destined to be his bride. And by the harsh laws of the dra´kon, Rue knew that she was the property of the marquess. But they will risk banishment and worse for a chance at something greater. For now Rue is his prisoner, the diamond has disappeared, and she’s made the kind of dangerous proposition a man like Kit cannot resist. . . . In this bewitching novel, Shana Abé transports us into a world of exhilarating romance and magic.

Book excerpt: Do not be fooled. The Sieve, Book 1 of 4 of the Drakon epic fantasy series, is the tale of twelve-year old Da-Ren but this is not a young-adult series. Your children shouldn't read it until they're children no more. On his thirty-second year Da-Ren arrives on the island of the Castlemonastery to redeem the lives of his wife and daughter. His only offering is a jar of honey. He is born in a pagan tribe, north of the Blackvein River, a leader of fierce men who dream only of the story they'll take to the stars and who kneel only in front of the longskull witches. For years the monks will transcribe his words, a brutal yet poetic first-person narrative of war, death and love. The ink will flow brown for his childhood, black for the tribe, red for the campaign, and blue for his metamorphosis. It is a story that reads like fantasy though its most unbelievable moments are based on historical events and actual tribes. This is a hard-fantasy novel where man is the only monster and the human spirit fights against superstition and racial hatred. Will it prevail? At what price? "I cannot defeat their stories, the legends, the prophecies... they have endured for countless winters now." "You can, Da-Ren. But not with blades. Only with other stories. Better ones."
