About the book
Dragons didn't just show up out of thin air centuries ago and not all of them died in the Dragani war.
Atlanta hovers on the edge of chaos and pandemonium today as rumors fly about supernatural beings living among humans. Deadly preternaturals predators have been held in check for many years by the most formidable pantheons. One angry being has had enough and accesses majik of an ancient grimoire to release abominations capable of taking down the most powerful of humanity's supernatural protectors, turning the human world into a wasteland.
As the dragon-shifter king over Beladors living secretly among humans, Daegan lives a tortured existence over having failed to save his loved ones two millennia ago when a vindictive goddess captured him. With a second chance at life in today's world, he's vowed to protect his new family and destroy anyone who harms them. For any hope of saving his captured Beladors and a world ready to launch high-tech weapons to wipe out unnatural beings, Daegan will have to find all the parts of a grimoire so dangerous it was divided up and hidden thousands of years ago.
The entire human race has one hope of surviving what's coming for them, but only if fear of the unknown does not drive the humans to kill their greatest protector first.
"...a fresh concept, complex world and unique characters ... emotionally engaging story full of twists." Publisher's Weekly (Belador series)

About the book
THE GODS ARE DEAD.
IN THEIR ABSENCE, THERE CAN BE ONLY CHAOS. ONLY WAR.
AND THEY ARE NOT ALL THAT HAS FADED FROM THE WORLD OF VERDA...
Once there were heroes. Brave men and women who showed their quality to be above the rest. Those whose deeds earned them the heart of a dragon. Those whose courage and strength resonated with the unborn, who, in their eggs, can wait thousands of years for a warrior worthy of them.
These heroes rose up on young battlefields and defended the weak and oppressed across all of Erador. They did so because they were inspired. They had only to look up and see.
Dragon Riders...
The last noble warriors in the realm. Only heroes can embolden the ordinary. For centuries, millennia, the Dragon Riders galvanised generation after generation, adding Riders to their ranks, birthing dragons from their eggs.
But there are no more heroes. War with the Andarens is like nothing the Riders, nor the armies of Erador, have ever faced. In the place of heroes there are only soldiers now. Fodder for the machine of war.
This time of twilight is set to be the crowning hour of the dark, when the light is losing its grip. There are those who have been waiting, biding their time in the shadows while the heroes of Verda die out. They worship something ancient. Something forgotten by myth and legend. Something evil.
It falls on a few to keep back that darkness. A few who must rise without inspiration and prove themselves worthy.

About the book
Best Book of the Year 2023 - Indies Today
Thrilling action. Mind-bending heists. Magical mayhem.
The land of Evgard is filled with wild dragons desperate to devour magic. That’s why the Mage Hunters ensure there are never too many magi in one place, and scar those born with power with an icy silver mark.
Far to the west, in the frontier badlands of Drakfell, lives Asher of Steel Rim. The seventeen-year-old unregistered magi has become a thief, hoping to save enough marks to move his family somewhere safe.
But when a dangerous group of magi rebels passes through, they offer the young dragon rider a chance to join their crew on a risky mission to steal a rare dragon egg. A mission that would give Asher a shot at something he wants even more than his own family’s safety: Revenge on the Black Valkyrie, the head of the Mage Hunters.
Asher's position on the team is simple. He’s the distraction.
But his fate is not yet written in the stars.
Dragon Thief is a new dragon rider epic that brings together dragon bonds like Eragon, hard magic like Brandon Sanderson, and the ideal balance of drama and fun found in Avatar: the Last Airbender.

About the book
The reluctant hero of The Woods Out Back is needed again in the realm of Faerie, in this fantasy adventure by the New York Times–bestselling author.
Gary Leger returned from the magical realm of Faerie five years ago, and each day since, he has longed to embark on more adventures. Now a mob of pixies is about to grant his wish.
For the inhabitants of Faerie, it's only been a month since Gary left, and life is not great. A vile king sits on the throne, threatening war. An evil witch imprisoned on an island struggles to free herself. And a dragon is burning the countryside. It's up to Gary and his friends—Mickey the leprechaun, Kelsey the elf, and Geno the dwarf—to get Gary back to where he belongs before Faerie is blackened to a crisp . . .
Praise for The Dragon's Dagger
"Gary has a lively time of it in Faerie, which Salvatore recaptures with verve and wit and many nice touches. . . . A classic tale of humans caught in the toils of Faerie, certain to retain its predecessor's audience." —Booklist

About the book
Gallows Born, from the bestselling series, The Bane of the North. As seen on TikTok.
We live as men but fight as gods.
He was born on the gallows, his mother’s corpse still swinging from the rope above. The superstitious villagers branded him the Bane of the North and left him to be claimed by the Fug - a deadly fog ruled by Draugr; Viking warriors who had long ago fallen in battle.
They never thought he'd return, marked by an ancient god.
Fifteen winters later - ridiculed, scorned, but never broken, Bane forges a life as a forager, surviving between Castle Garik and a looming mountain that legend says contains the body of a Norse god. In a strange twist of fates, Bane discovers that the mark gives him abilities beyond those of mortal man, and along with his lineage and a blood link to the god, his journey unfolds, fraught with danger and purpose.
As the drums of war close in and the time of men comes to an end, Bane could be the North’s only hope.

The kingdom teeters on the edge of turmoil, and Talia stands between order and chaos. If she falters, she may doom the very realm she’s sworn to protect.

About the book
Talia never asked for destiny, but it found her anyway.
When the mystical Companion Rolan chooses her, Talia goes from unwanted village girl to trainee Herald of Valdemar. Her days of dreaming about adventures are replaced with rigorous training, court politics, and a psychic bond with a sentient, horse-like creature who clearly knows more than he’s letting on.
But even as Talia begins to master her gifts, shadows creep through the kingdom. Treason stirs in quiet corners. Assassins lurk behind polished smiles. And the Queen’s heir—just a child—is in grave danger.
Now, Talia must navigate a web of magical conspiracies and deadly secrets with only her instincts and a few half-formed psychic abilities. One wrong move could cost the kingdom everything.
Can one runaway girl become the realm’s only hope?
