A Court of Silver Flames

A Court of Silver Flames by Sarah J. Maas

Sarah J. Maas's sexy, richly imagined series continues with the journey of Feyre's fiery sister, Nesta. Nesta Archeron has always been prickly-proud, swift to anger, and slow to forgive. And ever since being forced into the Cauldron and becoming High Fae against her will, she's struggled to find a place for herself within the strange, deadly world she inhabits. Worse, she can't seem to move past the horrors of the war with Hybern and all she lost in it. The one person who ignites her temper more than any other is Cassian, the battle-scarred warrior whose position in Rhysand and Feyre's Night Court keeps him constantly in Nesta's orbit. But her temper isn't the only thing Cassian ignites. The fire between them is undeniable, and only burns hotter as they are forced into close quarters with each other. Meanwhile, the treacherous human queens who returned to the Continent during the last war have forged a dangerous new alliance, threatening the fragile peace that has settled over the realms. And the key to halting them might very well rely on Cassian and Nesta facing their haunting pasts. Against the sweeping backdrop of a world seared by war and plagued with uncertainty, Nesta and Cassian battle monsters from within and without as they search for acceptance-and healing-in each other's arms.

In the land of the unforgiving desert, there isn’t much a girl wouldn’t do for a glass of water. But a secret is like a knot. Sooner or later, it is bound to come undone. When Saeris comes face-to-face with Death himself, she inadvertently reopens a gateway between realms and is transported to a land of ice and snow. The Fae have always been the stuff of myth, of legend, of nightmares…but it turns out they’re real, and Saeris has landed right in the middle of a centuries-long conflict that might just get her killed. The first of her kind to tread the frozen mountains of Yvelia in over a thousand years, Saeris mistakenly binds herself to Kingfisher, a handsome Fae warrior, who has secrets and nefarious agendas of his own. He will use her Alchemist’s magic to protect his people, no matter what it costs him… or her. Death has a name. It is Kingfisher of the Ajun Gate. His past is murky. His attitude stinks. And he’s the only way Saeris is going to make it home. Be careful of the deals you make, dear child. The devil is in the details...

The Golden Jackal

The Golden Jackal by Bianca D'Arc

When darkness calls, the jackal answers. Petra Haas had a perfectly ordinary life - cataloging medieval manuscripts at the British Library, avoiding her neighbor's passive-aggressive notes, and pretending she didn't have strange intuitions she couldn't explain. Then a phone call changed everything. A distant cousin she'd never met had died and left her a fortune, a German castle, and a legacy of darkness she never could have imagined. The moment she arrived at Kettering Castle, Petra knew something was very wrong. The silver in the underground workshop made her skin crawl. The staff watched her every move. And the mysterious stranger who emerged from the shadows insisted that magic was real, dark mages were coming for her, and she'd just inherited a war along with the castle. Seth Taren had spent decades fighting as a mercenary. As a golden jackal shifter nobody quite knew which side of the eternal battle of good vs. evil he stood on. He was working for the jaguar and lion Alphas and was supposed to gather intelligence on Kettering's operations, not protect an innocent librarian who had no idea she'd stumbled into a supernatural battleground. But from the moment Petra squared her small shoulders and decided to fight back instead of run, Seth knew she was different. She was brave. She was his. Now, with dark forces closing in and an ancient evil stirring, Seth and Petra must learn to trust each other, and the impossible connection growing between them, before the Venifucus destroys everything. Some secrets are worth protecting. Some loves are worth fighting for. And some mates are destined to change the world. Perfect for fans of Ilona Andrews' Kate Daniels series and Nalini Singh's Psy-Changeling world, The Golden Jackal delivers heart-pounding action, sizzling chemistry, and a love story that will keep you reading long into the night.

Captivating and action-packed, From Blood and Ash is a sexy, addictive, and unexpected fantasy perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Rebecca Yarros. A Maiden… Chosen from birth to usher in a new era, Poppy’s life has never been her own. The life of the Maiden is solitary. Never to be touched. Never to be looked upon. Never to be spoken to. Never to experience pleasure. Waiting for the day of her Ascension, she would rather be with the guards, fighting back the evil that took her family, than preparing to be found worthy by the gods. But the choice has never been hers. A Duty… The entire kingdom’s future rests on Poppy’s shoulders, something she’s not even quite sure she wants for herself. Because a Maiden has a heart. And a soul. And longing. And when Hawke, a golden-eyed guard honor bound to ensure her Ascension, enters her life, destiny and duty become tangled with desire and need. He incites her anger, makes her question everything she believes in, and tempts her with the forbidden. A Kingdom… Forsaken by the gods and feared by mortals, a fallen kingdom is rising once more, determined to take back what they believe is theirs through violence and vengeance. And as the shadow of those cursed draws closer, the line between what is forbidden and what is right becomes blurred.

The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty

The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty A Novel by A. N. Roquelaure & Anne Rice

Before E.L. James’ Fifty Shades of Grey and Sylvia Day's Bared to You , there was Anne Rice’s New York Times best seller The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty. In the traditional folktale of "Sleeping Beauty," the spell cast upon the lovely young princess and everyone in her castle can only be broken by the kiss of a Prince. It is an ancient story, one that originally emerged from and still deeply disturbs the mind's unconscious. In the first book of the trilogy, Anne Rice (author of  Beauty's Kingdom ), writing as A.N. Roquelaure, retells the Beauty story and probes the unspoken implications of this lush, suggestive tale by exploring its undeniable connection to sexual desire. Here the Prince awakens Beauty, not with a kiss, but with sexual initiation. His reward for ending the hundred years of enchantment is Beauty's complete and total enslavement to him . . . as Anne Rice explores the world of erotic yearning and fantasy in a classic that becomes, with her skillful pen, a compelling experience. Readers of Fifty Shades of Grey will indulge in Rice’s deft storytelling and imaginative eroticism, a sure-to-be classic for years to come. Praise for The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty : "Articulate, baroque, and fashionably pornographic." — Playboy "Something very special . . . at once so light and yet so haunting." — The Advocate

Rejected by My Alpha, Claimed by the Ruthless Wolf King (English Edition) 2 - Luna Vosgrey Cover Art

Rejected by My Alpha, Claimed by the Ruthless Wolf King (English Edition) 2

Rejected by My Alpha, Claimed by the Ruthless Wolf King (English Edition) 2 by Luna Vosgrey

If you read Part One, you remember the moment. *Don't go.* Two words. Not a command. Not a king speaking to a subject. Something else — something that stopped me in the middle of a dark hallway and made me forget, for just a second, every reason I had to walk away. Part Two begins exactly there. The forbidden east wing opens. Selene's room. A silver ring left behind like a message. And the memory fragments that have been haunting me since I touched it finally begin to make sense — because I'm not just someone who smells like the Wolf King's vanished mate. I'm her *heir*. The next True Anchor in a line that stretches back further than anyone told me. When I stood up in front of the Elder Conclave and called out a lie, silver light poured from my hands. A so-called Blank, glowing in front of every pack leader in the territory. No one had anything to say after that. At first, yes. But not anymore. That's what Kael told me, his hand against my cheek, and I understood — he came looking for me with one purpose. That purpose changed. So did mine. I came here with nothing. Somewhere along the way, I started thinking about what I'd lose if I left. But there's a problem. A True Anchor whose power is drawn out before it's fully released doesn't survive. I know this now. I'm going north anyway — to find Selene, to face Vessa, and to finally answer the question I've been carrying since the night a wolf king stepped out of the dark and said he'd been searching for me. Every thread gets pulled. Every question gets its answer. And in the end, I look Kael in the eye and say the thing that matters most. *I choose you. Not because you claimed me. Because I choose you.* This was never a story about a girl who got rejected. It was always a story about a girl who finally figured out what she was made of.

Chosen By The Cursed Alpha King An Omega Destined to Break the Curse by Night Owl

"No woman leaves his bed alive." "But I will survive." I whispered it to the moon, to the chains, to myself—until I believed it. They say Alpha King Maximus is a monster — too big, too brutal, too cursed. His bed is a death sentence, and no woman has ever left it alive. So why did he choose me? The fat, unwanted omega. The one my own pack offered up like trash. One night with the merciless King was supposed to end me. Instead, it ruined me. Now I crave the man who takes without mercy. His touch burns. His voice commands. His body destroys. And I keep going back for more. But Maximus doesn't do love. He doesn't do mates. He takes. He owns. And he never stays. "Before my beast consumes me completely—I need a son to take the throne." Too bad for him…I'm not the weak, pathetic girl they threw away. I'm something far more dangerous —the one woman who can break his curse… or break his kingdom.

Raaze - Mina Carter Cover Art

Raaze

Raaze by Mina Carter

Her ship. Her rules. Her unwelcome (handsome) alien problem. Cait Rhenn took the run to Parac'Norr because no one else in the company would touch it. She didn't expect to end up with a near-fatal landing, evidence of sabotage, or to be chatted up by seven feet of heavily-muscled sexy alien with 'player' written all over him. He'd taken one look at her and written her off as easy. His mistake. She might be immune to his kind of charm, but not to being slung over a broad shoulder and carried aboard her own ship when the prison alarms go off. By the time she stopped cursing him, the warrant for their arrest was already on the broadcast… her ship registration flagged from one end of the sector to the other as a wanted vessel. Trapped on a ship the size of a shoebox with seven feet of unrepentant flirt was bad enough. Worse was the way she kept thinking about the kiss he'd conned out of her, and worse still, how much she wanted another one… His face was on a billion billboards. Now there's a warrant on it. The highest-paid striker in a generation, Raaze was the king of warball… his face on every billboard from Lathar Prime to the outer colonies. But then a faked Blood Rage diagnosis stripped his name and dumped him on a prison planet. The small human pilot was supposed to be his way out. Females loved him. All he had to do was flash a smile, and they fell at his feet. But he hadn't counted on that charm not working. He also hadn't counted on a female who lied past station security like she'd been born to it, or picked encrypted locks while he stood watch and tried not to stare. A thousand females had thrown themselves at him, but he'd never wanted any of them like this. The moment a male looks at her too long in a docking bay, he's ready to go to war. Their cover be damned. But then the only male alive who could clear his name turned up dead before they could reach him. The official line was a shuttle malfunction; the ransacked apartment said otherwise. And the clan that did all of it is still watching every shipping lane between here and the only stage in the Empire big enough to expose them… He spent his entire career chasing trophies. Now he's playing for the only thing he's ever wanted to keep.

Rage of Her Ravens - Tara West Cover Art

Rage of Her Ravens

Rage of Her Ravens by Tara West

She seeks solace. They want vengeance. How can she save the world while consumed by the fire? My life has become a shell of the one I once knew after losing my other half, my dear twin sister. Before she was killed in a bear attack, I made her two promises, to raise her twin daughters as if they were my own and to protect them with my life. Until now, I've kept those promises. When the wicked Fae Queen Malvolia sends three winged fire mages to hunt us, I'm faced with an impossible choice, kill them or let them take us hostage. Killing them would be too easy, for I'm gifted with the white magic of the siren's call, and with my powerful voice, I can bring entire armies to their knees and watch while they slit their own throats. Unfortunately, these mages are my fated mates, tasked to coerce me to join Malvolia's army. And there's one more problem. Rumors are circulating that my twin is not dead, that she's grown into a powerful white witch, and she's marching with Malvolia's enemy to destroy us.

The Crown of Moonlight - Martina Boone Cover Art

The Crown of Moonlight

The Crown of Moonlight by Martina Boone

She's the Scottish Highlander who saves his life with forbidden magic. He's the immortal stranger who falls first—one healing touch, one quiet kindness at a time. Flora Domhnall is the last of her line: a healer, a strategist, her Highland clan's only defence in a war neither side can win. When she finds a dying immortal warrior in her woods, saving him is a terrible risk. But if he dies on her land, her clan will pay the price. Her choice binds her fate to his. Chyr has spent four centuries chained by the oaths carved into his flesh—oaths that read his every thought. Violence and honour are all he knows, and Flora's brave, impossible mercy breaks him open. Hunted across the burning Highlands, they can rely only on each other. Their longing grows with every mile they share a saddle, every sacrifice made in silence, and every night they guard each other in the dark. He's hopelessly fallen. She's fighting not to fall. Then the ancient sovereignty magic of the Cailleach Queens awakens in Flora—and marks her as something the world hasn't seen in four hundred years. And Chyr's oaths may demand he destroy the one person he can't bear to lose. For her, he'll defy his oaths. Even if it kills him.

Dragon Lost - Donna Grant Cover Art

Dragon Lost

Dragon Lost by Donna Grant

She was always meant to be mine…   I find her where no human should be—alone, deep within the caves, standing before my dragon form.   Most would run.   Annita steps closer.   Curiosity shines in her eyes, as if she’s found exactly what she was looking for. When I shift, that look doesn’t fade.   She should run. She doesn’t.   I should leave. I don’t.   The moment I touch her, everything changes. Heat slides through me, sharp and consuming. The world narrows to her breath, her skin, the way she fits against me like she was meant to be there.   I came for something simple.   Now she’s the only thing I want.   But nothing in the world of the Dragon Kings comes without danger. Enemies are closing in, and the closer she gets, the more she becomes a target.   I should walk away.   But I can’t. I won’t.   New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Donna Grant delivers a sensual, high-stakes tale of danger, desire, and a love powerful enough to bind a Dragon King—and risk everything.   Previously published as part of the Dark Kings series, these stories now begin the Dragon Chronicles. For the richest reading experience, this series should be read alongside the Dark Kings world.

Bewicched: The Sea Wicche Chronicles - Seana Kelly Cover Art

Bewicched: The Sea Wicche Chronicles

Bewicched: The Sea Wicche Chronicles by Seana Kelly

Bewicched: The Sea Wicche Chronicles: We here at The Sea Wicche cater to your art-collecting, muffin-eating, tea-drinking, and potion-peddling needs. Palmistry and Tarot sessions are available upon request and by appointment. Our store hours vary and rely completely on Arwyn—the owner—getting her butt out of bed. I'm Arwyn Cassandra Corey, the sea wicche, or the wicche who lives by the sea. It requires a lot more work than I'd anticipated to remodel an abandoned cannery and turn it into an art gallery & tea bar. It's coming along, though, especially with the help of a new werewolf who's joined the construction crew. He does beautiful work. His sexy, growly, bearded presence is very hard to ignore, but I'm trying. I'm not sure how such a laid-back guy got the local Alpha and his pack threatening to hunt him down and tear him apart, but we all have our secrets. And because I don't want to know his—or yours for that matter—I wear these gloves. Clairvoyance makes the simplest things the absolute worst. Trust me. Or don't. Totally up to you. Did I mention my mother and grandmother are pressuring me to assume my rightful place on the Corey Council? That's a kind of governing triad for our ancient magical family, one that has more than its fair share of black magic practitioners. And yes, before you ask, people have killed to be on the council—one psychotic sorceress aunt comes to mind—but I have no interest in the power or politics that come with the position. I'd rather stick to my art and, in the words of my favorite sea wicche, help poor unfortunate souls. (Good luck trying to get that song out of your head now.) "This story hits all the right beats for a paranormal romance, and the complicating factors make the prospect of future books enticing." ~ Booklife Reviews EDITORS PICK, by Publisher's Weekly Content Warning: Bewicched: The Sea Wicche Chronicles is a contemporary fantasy novel with suspense elements about a clairvoyant witch who, among other things, helps detectives hunt a fledgling serial killer. While there are light, funny, romantic moments, there are also dark ones that may be disturbing for some readers. Warning for: death of/harm to a child, violence toward animals, visions that include graphic or explicit violence.
