Fans of Sarah A. Parker and Penn Cole will love this sprawling new adult epic romantic fantasy, filled with dragons, deceit and a delicious slow-burn romance.
She rides to claim her fate, he flies to burn it down.

Lang, an insubordinate Crown Prince, holds the reins to one of the few true dragons left in the world. Sent to Eavenfold on a diplomatic mission by his warmongering father, he watches as the Brothers bestow a rare and unwanted Marriage Fate on Tani. Already her touch magic alarms him, but if she succeeds and marries the victor of the upcoming tournament, her power could topple empires.
They both arrive at the games. Her, to claim her Fate. Him, to destroy it by any means possible.

About the book
They say mated dragonborns can hear each other. I never believed it.
Not until I was trapped in an abandoned building, surrounded by flesh-eating monsters, terrified and alone.
My body was failing, but my mind reached into the void, begging for someone to hear me.
Then the door burst open.
The man who came for me was the last person I ever expected—my enemy. Strong, fearless, and endlessly captivating, Tynan works for the people who imprisoned me, and I hate him even more because I can’t stop staring whenever he shapeshifts.
His dragon is black as night, with eyes that pierce my soul. He stopped beside me, and I already know I’ll fight him till my last breath.
In Talman, war rages between dragon clans. The last Queen struggles to hold her throne while a deadly disease spreads across the realm, turning her subjects into bloodthirsty beasts. Everyone says she’s too old to rule. Clans plot. Alliances break. And the hunt for a new Queen has begun…
What Readers Are Saying:

About the book
Aelie can break runes with her bare hands—magic the fae built their entire world on.
They hate her for it. Fear her for it. And when she's caught, they sentence her to die.
Desperate to survive, she shatters the rune enslaving Kairos, a devastatingly handsome fae executioner with a blood-soaked past.
Big mistake.
Kairos slaughters the court and drags Aelie to his breathtaking realm—a kingdom of towering forests and shimmering mists.
Bound to the ruthless king she freed, Aelie must navigate deadly fae politics, master her forbidden power, and resist the fae who sees her as his greatest weapon... and darkest obsession.
Runebreaker is a steamy, fast-paced romantasy with forced proximity, he-falls-first tension, and captive/captor dynamics perfect for adult fans of Jennifer L. Armentrout and Sarah J. Maas. It features a feral, morally gray hero, a twenty-five-year-old heroine with a dangerous gift, mating bond tension, and immersive world building. This is book #1 of a trilogy.

Beyond the Ward Walls, time and change turn the world itself into a threat.
A Hero Born
Fantasy · Epic Fantasy · Fantasy Adventure · Sword and Sorcery
Our take
Beyond the Ward Walls, time and change turn the world itself into a threat. In A Hero Born, apprentice swordsman Locke seeks the lost father he believes may still survive in the Wildness, but his dream of becoming a Chaos Rider pulls him toward a growing darkness. This is classic epic fantasy built on danger, destiny, and the cost of crossing into the unknown.
Choose your retailer
About the book
A sweeping epic fantasy from the New York Times–bestselling author of The Dark Glory War and Star Wars novels.
An apprentice swordsman, Locke has ridden the narrow trail to the City of the Sorcerers to see with his own eyes the Ward Walls that hold back the Realms of Chaos. It is Locke's dream to become a Chaos Rider, and he seeks his destiny beyond the Wall. And it is Locke's hope that somewhere in the Wildness, where time and change rage out of control, his lost father still survives.
But more than mere survival is at stake. For on the other side of the Wall awaits a Darkness beyond all ken—a burgeoning evil that will test the steel of one young hero . . . and the entire bold and foolish race called Humanity.

A kidnapped child forces a grieving mother out of hiding and back toward the man who once broke her heart.
Between Wrath and Mercy
Romantasy · Sword and Sorcery
Our take
A kidnapped child forces a grieving mother out of hiding and back toward the man who once broke her heart. In Between Wrath and Mercy, Emmeline must rescue her daughter, the prophesied Beloved, while navigating divine power, political danger, and unresolved desire with Crown Prince Rainier. This romantic fantasy blends second-chance tension, maternal devotion, prophecy, and kingdom-level stakes.
Choose your retailer
About the book
A mother will do anything to save her child, no matter the cost.
After her daughter is kidnapped, Emmeline Highclere—a thirty-four-year-old mother living in isolation with memories and grief her only companion—must do everything in her limited power and divine abilities to get the girl back.
Emmeline believes her daughter, Elora, is the Beloved—the conduit with goddess-granted divine abilities prophesied to bring peace to the Three Kingdoms. Because the last person thought to be the Beloved was brutally murdered by the enemy kingdom of Folterra, Emmeline has dedicated the last sixteen years to hiding her daughter and keeping her safe. When Elora is kidnapped by a Folterran prince, Emmeline must leave her place of hiding, resolving to do anything to rescue her daughter. But to have any chance against those who took the girl, Emmeline must call upon one of the most powerful conduits in the Three Kingdoms, the Crown Prince of Vesta—the man who broke her heart—and hope he helps her despite their estrangement.
With the weight of his father’s impending death hanging over his head, Crown Prince Rainier has begun to make moves to prove his dedication to assume the role of king. When he is visiting the estate that was once a second home to him, the woman who has long haunted his dreams and consumed his thoughts appears before him, asking for his help to find the child she had with another man. Now, he must decide: does he drop what he is doing to help Emmeline, or does he maintain his unwavering duty to the Crown?
Now, Emmeline and Rainier must work together to find the Beloved—to save the girl from the Folterrans and fulfill the prophecy of peace—while they both battle feelings of remorse, grief, and heartbreak, trying to ignore the heated desire and simmering attraction between them that never left.

In 1844 Edinburgh, society’s glitter hides a war no debutante should have to fight.
The Falconer
Romantasy · Sword and Sorcery
Our take
In 1844 Edinburgh, society’s glitter hides a war no debutante should have to fight. The Falconer follows Aileana Kameron as she hunts deadly fae, guards a weakening magical prison, and forms a dangerous alliance with Kiaran MacKay, a fae assassin with secrets of his own. It’s historical romantasy built on vengeance, forbidden attraction, and a heroine forced to choose what survival will cost.

Queen of the Night turns forbidden trust into a dangerous kind of magic as a hidden woman and a desperate king chase the same impossible salvation.
Queen of the Night
Epic Fantasy · Romantasy · Sword and Sorcery
Our take
Queen of the Night turns forbidden trust into a dangerous kind of magic as a hidden woman and a desperate king chase the same impossible salvation. Vera wants freedom from the secrets that could get her killed, while Ikar needs the Black Tulip power she is hiding. Their uneasy alliance gives this slow-burn epic fantasy romance its pull: duty, betrayal, shadow monsters, and feelings neither of them can afford.
Choose your retailer
About the book
A king risking all for his kingdom. A woman in hiding with the magic he needs. When duty requires betrayal… which side do you choose?
Vera
It’s not easy being a Black Tulip… masquerading as an Originator so I’m not murdered by the kings. All I want is to escape the secrets I’m buried in—but that requires money. So when my handsome bounty offers me a tempting contract that pays so well it could set me free… I can’t resist accepting.
I simply need to help find a magic flower for the king, survive the savage shadow monsters, and return home without falling further for the man I don’t fully trust. I prepared myself for the dangers found on the journey, but nothing prepares me for the moment I find out who my bounty really is…
Ikar
I search for two things to save my kingdom: a woman marked as a Black Tulip, and the black tulip flower that will bridge our magic. Sounds simple… except I can’t find either one, time is running out, and my heart is at risk of being captured by a woman I can never have.
I contracted Vera to join my team as an Originator to search for the flower, but the secrets and forbidden feelings between us threaten to destroy our already perilous mission. It’s not long before we’re forced to confront the truth behind the many secrets we carry when a formidable enemy arises that we never saw coming.
Queen of the Night is the second book in a no-spice, slow-burn, enemies-to-loves epic fantasy romance series for fans of Shari Tapscott and Kenley Davidson.

Spellwright builds its magic from language, where a single mistake can wound, kill, or change a life.
Spellwright
Fantasy · Epic Fantasy · Fantasy Adventure · Sword and Sorcery
Our take
Spellwright builds its magic from language, where a single mistake can wound, kill, or change a life. Nicodemus has the talent to become a powerful wizard, but his dyslexia makes written spells dangerous in his hands, and a string of murders may reveal that his limitations are no accident. This inventive fantasy follows a flawed apprentice into prophecy, pursuit, and a threat tied to the fate of his world.
Choose your retailer
About the book
"Think that words can't hurt you? Sometimes they can kill. The spells of textual magic in this enthralling tale will demonstrate just how." —Terry Brooks, New York Times–bestselling author of the Sword of Shannara trilogy
Nicodemus is a young, gifted wizard with a problem. Magic in his world requires the caster to create spells by writing out the text . . . but he has always been dyslexic, and thus has trouble casting even the simplest of spells. And his misspells could prove dangerous, even deadly, should he make a mistake in an important incantation.
Yet he has always felt that he is destined to be something more than a failed wizard. When a powerful, ancient evil begins a campaign of murder and disruption, Nicodemus starts to have disturbing dreams that lead him to believe that his misspelling could be the result of a curse. But before he can discover the truth about himself, he is attacked by an evil that has already claimed the lives of fellow wizards. He must flee for his own life if he's to find the true villain.
But more is at stake than his abilities. For the evil that has awakened is a power so vast that if unleashed it will destroy Nicodemus . . . and the world.
"Superbly tells the story of a young man searching for his place in the world." —Booklist, starred review
"The innovative spell craft will please fantasy readers." —Publishers Weekly
"Clever and original." —Tad Williams, New York Times–bestselling author of Shadowmarch
"A letter-perfect story: an absorbing read." —Robin Hobb, New York Times–bestselling author of the Farseer trilogy

Peace in Kavet depends on fear, and one accusation is enough to pull a loyal captain into the very darkness he was trained to destroy.
Of the Abyss
Fantasy · Dark Fantasy · Epic Fantasy · Fantasy Adventure · Sword and Sorcery
Our take
Peace in Kavet depends on fear, and one accusation is enough to pull a loyal captain into the very darkness he was trained to destroy. In Of the Abyss, Hansa Viridian is forced into an uneasy alliance with a half-Abyssi man he does not trust and cannot stop wanting. This is a dark fantasy with forbidden magic, political danger, and a descent into a realm where survival demands impossible choices.
Choose your retailer
About the book
After decades of strife, peace has finally been achieved in Kavet—but at a dark cost. Sorcery is outlawed, and anyone convicted of consorting with the beings of the other realms—the Abyssi and the Numini—is put to death. The only people who can even discuss such topics legally are the scholars of the Order of the Napthol, who give counsel when questions regarding the supernatural planes arise.
Hansa Viridian, a captain in the elite guard unit tasked with protecting Kavet from sorcery, has always led a respectable life. But when he is implicated in a sorcerer's crimes, the only way to avoid execution is to turn to the Abyss for help—specifically, to a half-Abyssi man he's sworn he hates, but whose physical attraction he cannot deny.
Hansa is only the first victim in a plot that eventually drags him, a sorcerer named Xaz, and a Sister of the Napthol named Cadmia into the depths of the Abyss, where their only hope of escape is to complete an infernal task that might cost them their lives.
