About the book
“You can’t choose a wife based on a spreadsheet.”
“It’s a RUBRIC.”
“Even worse!”
With the king’s health in decline, the time is short for Crown Prince Phillip of Elsinore to choose a suitable wife.
Preferably NOT one of the many titled women who seem only interested in the crown.
Like the logical, responsible man he is, Phillip treats this task the way he does everything else--analytically, with measurable data points.
Leaving Elsinore in secret, Phillip travels to a tiny Italian village to meet the woman best matching his qualifications. The plan is to present Alessia with a proposal of marriage and return to the palace before anyone notices his absence.
What he didn’t plan for: FEELINGS.
His--almost immediate, gut-punching attraction like he’s never felt.
Hers--seeming dislike and distrust like he’s never experienced.
Phillip’s very practical plan has been replaced with a new one: to stay on and win Alessia’s affection at any cost.
Even if the cost is walking away from the crown ...
Royal Gone Rogue is the second in the Sweet Royal RomCom series with laugh-out-loud humor, heart-warming love stories, and sizzling chemistry that keeps the bedroom door closed.

About the book
From the international bestselling author Anthony Ryan comes the spectacular first novel in a new epic fantasy trilogy inspired by Norse mythology.
A new age has dawned. An age of blood and steel. An age of wrath.
"A gripping epic." ––Publishers Weekly
The land of Ascarlia, a fabled realm of bloodied steel and epic sagas, has been ruled by the Sister Queens for centuries. No one has dared question their rule.
Until now.
Whispers speak of longships of mysterious tattooed warriors, sailing under the banners of a murderous cult of oath-breakers long thought extinct. A tide of black steel that threatens to vanquish all in its path.
Thera of the Blackspear, favored servant of the Sister Queens, is ordered to uncover the truth. As Thera sails north, her reviled brother, Felnir, sets out on his own adventure. He hopes to find the Vault of the Altvar – the treasure room of the gods – and win the Sister Queens’ favor at his sister’s expense.
Both siblings – along with a brilliant young scribe and a prisoner with a terrifying, primal power – will play a part in the coming storm.
The Age of Wrath has begun.

About the book
Over 100,000 copies sold! Commended by Library Journal. Featured in Shelf Unbound's Notable 100.
“Grim, gritty, and good.”
The realm of Brynth is dying—ravaged by famine, disease, and unspeakable monsters. In the midst of the ruin, a young monk discovers a power he was never meant to wield.

Fate offers him an unlikely escape: team up with Theron Ward, a cynical monster hunter, and Kendrick the Cold, a battle-hardened fugitive with a cursed past. Together, they must confront the rising darkness—or be devoured by it.
As enemies close in and dark forces rise, Aldous must master his deadly gift—or doom the realm he once vowed to protect.
