The Dog in the Dark - Barb Hendee, J.C Hendee
The Noble Dead Saga: Series 3, #2
The Noble Dead series
has been hailed as "a crowd-pleasing mix of intrigue, epic fantasy, and
horror."* Now, national bestselling authors Barb and J.C. Hendee present
the latest thrilling novel following the adventures of the dhampir Magiere and
half-elf Leesil...Barely escaping the city of Calm Seatt — and the elven assassins hunting them — Magiere, Leesil, and the elven dog Chap sail south in their quest to find the powerful orb of Air before their enemies do. But they are not alone, much to their frustration.
The aging elven assassin, Brot’an, has forced himself on them by offering his protection for Magiere from enemies among his own caste. Chap doesn’t believe this ruse and seeks to uncover the assassin’s true agenda — as well as the cause of the secret civil war that has erupted into the open among Brot'an's people.
Meanwhile Magiere is struggling with her own dark nature, using Leesil’s love as an anchor to keep her grounded. For the personal price she paid to procure the orb of Fire up in the northern “Wastes” was more than she thought — and more than she wants to reveal to anyone else.
But that is exactly what the cunning Brot’an wants to know. And he is willing to do whatever it takes — even if he must reveal his own dreaded secrets that may cost the entire party their lives.
Dreamspinner - Lynn Kurland
Nine Kingdoms #7
New York Times bestselling author Lynn Kurland’s enthralling
Nine Kingdoms saga brings together a weaver’s apprentice and the son of a
mage, both fighting to save the Nine Kingdoms from peril.
Aisling of Bruadair has lived a provincial
life, heedless of the evil creeping over her land. That ordinary existence
changes forever, though, when she is sent to the opposite end of the world to
find a master swordsman. If she fails, her life--and her country's safety--will
be forfeit. She just never expected that swordsman to be a wounded elven prince
masquerading as a simple soldier. Powerless and scarred from a long-ago
conflict, Rùnach of Ceangail has spent years in obscurity, ignoing battles
he can no longer fight. And although he has been drawn back
into the world, he fully intends to live an unremarkable life far away from
events he knows he cannot change... Until Rùnach meets Aisling and
realizes that she is far more than what she seems, that their alliance has
attracted unwelcome notice, and that some battles must be fought.
Sealed with a Curse - Cecy Robson
Weird Girls #1
Celia Wird and her
three sisters are just like other 20-something girls—with one tiny exception:
they're products of a backfired curse that has given each of them unique powers
that make them, well, weird… The Wird sisters are content to avoid the local vampires, werebeasts, and witches of the Lake Tahoe region—until one of them blows up a vampire in self-defense. Everyone knows vampires aren't aggressive, and killing one is punishable by death. But soon more bloodlust-fueled attacks occur, and the community wonders: are the vampires of Tahoe cursed with a plague?
Celia reluctantly agrees to help Misha, the handsome leader of an infected vampire family. But Aric, the head of the werewolf pack determined to destroy Misha's family to keep the region safe, warns Celia to stay out of the fight. Caught between two hot alphas, Celia must find a way to please everyone, save everyone, and oh yeah, not lose her heart to the wrong guy—or die a miserable death. Because now that the evil behind the plague knows who Celia is, it’s coming for her and her sisters. This Wird girl has never had it so tough.
