A new queen has usurped the throne and is leading Cenaria into disaster. The country has become a broken realm with a threadbare army, little food, and no hope. Kylar Stern plans to reinstate his closest friend Logan as King, but can he really get away with murder? In the north, the Godking's death has thrown Khalidor into civil war. To gain the upper hand, one faction attempts to raise the goddess Khali herself. But they are playing with volatile powers, and trigger conflict on a vast scale. Seven armies will converge to save - or destroy - an entire continent. Kylar has finally learnt the bitter cost of immortality, and is faced with a task only he can complete. To save his friends, and perhaps his enemies, he must assassinate a goddess. Failure will doom the south. Success will cost him everything he's ever loved.

Book excerpt: The highly anticipated metaphysical standalone from International Amazon Bestselling Author Kristen Martin The night sky holds more mystery than every continent on Earth combined-at least that's what thirty-three-year-old Elara Friis believes. And why wouldn't she, when she's been named after one of Jupiter's many moons? A long-time assistant to astrophysicist Professor Haven at the University of Colorado Boulder, Elara's unexpected change in employment status couldn't come at a worse time. Even more unnerving is the sudden disappearance of her professor just minutes after their last conversation-not to mention the fact that she's somehow traveled four days into the future . . . with no recollection of those days' events. As more professors begin to go missing and the police begin to ask questions, there's yet another unexpected development in Elara's life: one that goes by the name of Xero Sivalla. A fellow assistant at the university, Xero seems to have inside knowledge on not only the growing number of faculty disappearances, but on Elara herself. As Elara spends more time with Xero, the more she discovers just how wrong her assumptions about life, the cosmos, and existence itself have been. Blurring the lines of reality is one thing, but cracking the entire Universe wide open? She should be so lucky-that is, unless it's been predestined from the start.

Book excerpt: "Wonderful . . . J. V. Jones is a striking writer." So says Robert Jordan, the author of The Wheel of Time epic fantasy series. And Jones lives up to that praise in the highly charged epic adventure of Ash March and Raif Sevrance, two outcasts whose fate are entwined by ancient prophecies and need, in the cold, dark world that threatens to be torn asunder by a war to end all wars. Isolated by their birthrights, they are but two who fight the dreaded Endlords, and their strength and courage will be needed if the world is to be saved from darkness." Raif, wrongly accused and cut off from his clan by the treachery of their new headsman, has a talent for killing that is part of his curse and his burden. But he bears another burden of greater weight. Ash is a sacred warrior to the Sull, an ancient race whose numbers have declined. Raised as a foundling, never knowing her true history, she must learn to accept the terrible gifts of her heritage. But as Ash learns more of her greater fate, Raif's task looms dark and desperate, for he must journey through the nightmare realm of the Want, a place where even the Sull now fear to tread. For deep within the Want is the Fortress of Grey Ice, and there he must heal the breach in the Blindwall that already threatens the world. Should he fail, not even Ash's powers can save them. . . .

Download or read book Entangled written by Michael Spence and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2022-08-01 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lovecraft is your typical government genetically altered kind of dude, no big deal. But one day, in his brother Poe's penthouse, while exuberantly celebrating, that all changed. His activities introduce and infuse his system with hypernites, an advanced version of what we would know as nanites. They have fused with his system on every level, right down to the quantum existence. Needless to say, this makes him all but godlike in stature. And like giving a monkey a lit torch, he immediately sets to burning himself as well as those around him. (Good times!) And so, in a whirlwind of action, adventure, tears, and chuckles, he is thrown headfirst into the multiverse. He meets some of his counterparts in parallel worlds, mostly to both of their dismay. (Not all alternate worlds are ruled by humans.) He also travels dimensions that should not only never be traveled but are probably best not even mentioned--all in hopes of stopping an ancient plot to undo all that has been created and the ancient enemy that is orchestrating it. So, if you're looking for a story that puts the fun back into the apocalypse and is full of twists and turns, well, my friends, then Entangled is the surprise you've been waiting to love!

Book excerpt: "Vivid characters, terrifying monsters, and world building as deep and dark as the ocean." --Victoria Aveyard, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Red Queen I am Henrietta Howel. The first female sorcerer in hundreds of years. The prophesied one. Or am I? Henrietta Howel can burst into flames. Forced to reveal her power to save a friend, she's shocked when instead of being executed, she's invited to train as one of Her Majesty's royal sorcerers. Thrust into the glamour of Victorian London, Henrietta is declared the chosen one, the girl who will defeat the Ancients, bloodthirsty demons terrorizing humanity. She also meets her fellow sorcerer trainees, handsome young men eager to test her power and her heart. One will challenge her. One will fight for her. One will betray her. But Henrietta Howel is not the chosen one. As she plays a dangerous game of deception, she discovers that the sorcerers have their own secrets to protect. With battle looming, what does it mean to not be the one? And how much will she risk to save the city—and the one she loves?

Hand to fans of Libba Bray, Sarah J. Maas, and Cassandra Clare. "The magic! The intrigue! The guys! We were sucked into this monster-ridden, alternative England from page one.

I loved the monsters, the magic, and the teen warriors who are their world's best hope!

Jessica Cluess has built her story out of my favorite ingredients: sorcery, demons, romance, and danger." --Kelly Link, author of Pretty Monsters
