nothing more than stories sold as truth.Kalyna&’s family has the Gift: the ability to see the future. For generations, they traveled the four kingdoms of the Tetrarchia selling their services as soothsayers. Every child of their family is born with this Gift—everyone except Kalyna.So far, Kalyna has used informants and trickery to falsify prophecies for coin, scrounging together a living for her deteriorating father and cruel grandmother. But Kalyna&’s reputation for prophecy precedes her, and poverty turns to danger when she is pressed into service by the spymaster to Rotfelsen.Kalyna is to use her &“Gift&” to uncover threats against Rotfelsen&’s king, her family held hostage to ensure her good behavior. But politics are devious; the king&’s enemies abound, and Kalyna&’s skills for investigation and deception are tested to the limit. Worse, the conspiracy she uncovers points to a larger threat, not only to Rotfelsen but to the Tetrarchia itself. Kalyna is determined to protect her family and newfound friends, but as she is drawn deeper into palace intrigue, she can no longer tell if her manipulations are helping prevent the Tetrarchia&’s destruction—or if her lies will bring about its prophesized downfall.Kidnapping Cold Case & Cold Case Target: Two Thrilling Suspense Novels

Par Mark Cecil. 2024
A large-hearted reimagining of beloved all-American legends, this epic debut novel brings men of myth Paul Bunyan and John Henry…
alive like never before, teaming up for an adventure quest with deeper interrogations of race, class, and industrialization.Paul Bunyan—legendary larger-than-life American lumberjack—is a man down on his luck. With a load of family debts on his broad back, he ekes out a miserable miner&’s life in Lump Town, a bleak hamlet controlled by famed industrialist El Boffo. When Bunyan's wife Lucette falls ill with a disease caused by the toxic mineral Lump, he embarks on a quest to save her. His only guide: the Chilali—a mysterious creature who speaks only in questions.Bunyan&’s path leads to The Windy City—and to John Henry. Henry is not yet the &“steel-drivin&’&” man known to folklore, but a fugitive on the run from a rigged, racist prison system. As Bunyan and Henry strive to reunite with the families they love, they must work together to solve riddles, forge weapons, brawl with a behemoth, and confront at every turn the relentless, duplicitous El Boffo.A richly imaginative reinvention of myth, Bunyan and Henry is at once a timeless quest, a fresh origin story, and an urgent modern fable that wrestles with the two sides of the American dream—its wild idealism and cruel underbelly—to inspire the awakening of the folk hero in us all.The Emperor and the Endless Palace: A Romantasy Novel

"A sweeping triumph in queer romance." –Booklist&“What if I told you that the feeling we call love is actually the…
feeling of metaphysical recognition, when your soul remembers someone from a previous life?&”In the year 4 BCE, an ambitious courtier is called upon to seduce the young emperor—but quickly discovers they are both ruled by blood, sex and intrigue.In 1740, a lonely innkeeper agrees to help a mysterious visitor procure a rare medicine, only to unleash an otherworldly terror instead.And in present-day Los Angeles, a college student meets a beautiful stranger and cannot shake the feeling they&’ve met before.Across these seemingly unrelated timelines woven together only by the twists and turns of fate, two men are reborn, lifetime after lifetime. Within the treacherous walls of an ancient palace and the boundless forests of the Asian wilderness to the heart-pounding cement floors of underground rave scenes, our lovers are inexplicably drawn to each other, constantly tested by the worlds around them.As their many lives intertwine, they begin to realize the power of their undying love—a power that transcends time itself…but one that might consume them both.An unpredictable roller coaster of a debut novel, The Emperor and the Endless Palace is a genre-bending spicy romantasy that challenges everything we think we know about true love.AUTHOR'S NOTE: The Emperor and the Endless Palace is a heart-pounding romantasy, full of shocking twists, morally shifty characters, and erotic thrills.

Par James Lovegrove. 2024
The mind-bending original adventures of Doctor Strange, the Sorcerer Supreme, are brought to life for a new era by New…
York Times-bestselling author James Lovegrove.A self-centred healer, Stephen Strange is arrogant, but it's almost justified. After all, he is one of the best surgeons in the country. However, that all takes a dark turn following a horrific car crash.The doctor survives but at a great cost: his hands are irreparably damaged, and he can no longer perform surgery. No doctor can help him. Nor can faith healers or gurus. Nearing the end of his rope, he seeks out mystic help from the Ancient One, a man rumoured to possess unearthly talents. The Ancient One isn&’t able to heal his hands, but he teaches Stephen the mystic arts as well as discipline, self-restraint, and, eventually, selflessness. These qualities soon lead him to clash with his fellow student, Baron Mordo. After completing his training, Doctor Strange leaves the temple and uses his magical powers to defend the Earth from arcane threats that few humans can conceive of— battling rival sorcerers, thwarting Nightmare, the malevolent ruler of dreams, and daring to defy the terrifying despot of the Dark Dimension, Dormammu. This creative novelization of Stan Lee and Steve Ditko&’s original Doctor Strange stories sees Doctor Strange magically transform from a vain egoist to one of Earth&’s greatest defenders.Colorado Double Cross

When she and Gray are forced to separate, Sophie questions even her own suspicions. But once Joanna arrives in Alba with her mercurial friend, Gwendolen, the danger is past doubting. Armed only with subtlety, cleverness, and outrageous daring, the women will have to travel through a hostile countryside, find Gray, and root out a conspiracy that threatens their survival—and Alba’s future.Praise for Lady of Magick:“Another intriguing fantasy set in an alternate history version of Regency-era Europe.” — Library Journal“The second installment in Hunter’s Noctis Magicae series will attract both familiar and new readers. ...

husband must bend all their learning toward saving the nation from ruin…Amid the bustle of Oxford University, Lady Morgan College has waited for two hundred years, its grounds overgrown, its buildings abandoned. Sophie Marshall is determined to revive magickal education for women in Britain, and where better than its first seat?

Led by the so-called Emperor of Gaul, the army wins its battles unopposed, absorbing enemies as if swallowing them whole.
