About the book
18-year-old Lillian is dying. But she is not going down without a fight. Sheltered by her father her whole life, Lillian’s greatest wish has always been to join the rebel group he leads, to leave a mark on the world she is soon to leave.
In the aftermath of a tragedy, Lillian decides to seek revenge by killing the King of Orios. Against the wishes of her lover, Eli, she joins the dangerous King's Guard Trials to get close to the King, where she soon learns death is the only alternative to success.
While fighting her way through a deadly maze filled with dark magic, and scaling a treacherous mountain inhabited by mythical creatures, she discovers the greatest threat may really lie with her fellow participants, who won’t hesitate to kill for a spot in the guard.
Despite her determination to pursue the mission alone, Lillian finds close friendship with eternally cheerful Finn and Astrid, another rebel infiltrating the guard. She also fights a strange connection with her handsome, but mysterious, commander who appears adamant to save her life.
But as whispers of the Valkyries searching for their long lost heir emerge, and dragons return to Orios, Lillian begins to question everything she thought she knew. No one around her appears to be who they say they are. And what are the rebels and Eli hiding from her?

About the book
In life, Dean Robinson was a soldier. Upon his untimely death at the hands of a fallen angel with a serious superiority complex and snappy wardrobe, he became something else.
Not quite divine but no longer human, Dean was unwillingly thrust into the prophetic pinnacle of a timeless battle raging in the shadows of the Earth and the Heavens. Better yet, he and his newfound gang of arcane sidekicks might be the only thing standing between mankind and an incursion of otherworldly giants. No pressure…
With heart-pounding action, laugh-out-loud dialogue, and a mind-bending mash-up of mythology and apocryphal lore, Rise of the Giants is a thrilling urban fantasy romp through a world where legends come to life, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. From the backstreets of Boston to the nether regions of Heaven and beyond, join the wise-cracking misadventures filled with magic, destiny, and a whole lot of beer.
And, as always, the Devil's in the details.
Perfect for fans of Jim Butcher's Dresden Files, Kevin Hearne's Iron Druid Chronicles, or Steve McHugh’s Hellequin Chronicles.

In The Witch Roads by Kate Elliott (4.5 out of 5 stars), a former child slave turned courier must guide an arrogant prince through haunted lands after dark magic changes him forever. Sharp, immersive, and richly imagined, this epic fantasy begins a duology of power, class, and courage from the acclaimed author of Crown of Stars.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Elen was born to serve and survive. Once a child slave used to absorb deadly poisons for nobles, she’s now a deputy courier in the harsh hills of Orledder Halt—competent, cheerful, and invisible to those who matter. When an arrogant prince and his retinue become stranded amid deadly political intrigue, she’s ordered to guide them to safety.
But the prince ignores her warning to stay clear of the haunted Spires, and the man who returns is not the one who entered. Something ancient has changed him, and the path ahead grows darker with every mile.
In The Witch Roads, Kate Elliott weaves a gripping tale of class, corruption, and survival where courage defies power—and the road itself may not want them to leave alive.
