Book excerpt: “Equal parts soaring fantasy, heart-pounding action, and bloody social commentary, Blood Scion is a triumph of a book.” —Roseanne A. Brown, New York Times bestselling author of A Song of Wraiths and Ruin This is what they deserve. They wanted me to be a monster. I will be the worst monster they ever created. Fifteen-year-old Sloane can incinerate an enemy at will—she is a Scion, a descendant of the ancient Orisha gods. Under the Lucis’ brutal rule, her identity means her death if her powers are discovered. But when she is forcibly conscripted into the Lucis army on her fifteenth birthday, Sloane sees a new opportunity: to overcome the bloody challenges of Lucis training, and destroy them from within. Following one girl’s journey of magic, injustice, power, and revenge, Deborah Falaye’s debut novel, inspired by Yoruba-Nigerian mythology, is a magnetic combination of Children of Blood and Bone and An Ember in the Ashes.

Book excerpt: As the winter ice begins to thaw, the fury of a demon builds Ñ all because one girl couldnÕt stay dead . . . Roan Harken considers herself a typical high school student Ñ dead parents, an infected eyeball, and living in the house of her estranged, currently comatose grandmother (well, maybe not so typical) Ñ but sheÕs uncovering the depth of the secrets her family left behind. Saved from the grasp of Death itself by a powerful fox spirit named Sil, Roan must harness mysterious ancient power . . . and quickly. A snake-monster called Zabor lies in wait in the bed of the frozen Assiniboine River, hungry for the sacrifice of spirit-blood in exchange for keeping the flood waters at bay. Thrust onto an ancient battlefield, Roan soon realizes that to maintain the balance of the world, she will have to sacrifice more than her life in order to take her place as Scion of the Fox. American Gods meets Princess Mononoke in this powerful first installment of a trilogy sure to capture readersÕ imaginations everywhere.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Since the death of the Druid Allanon, the Four Lands have changed profoundly, with magic strictly forbidden in the Southland, now under totalitarian rule. Yet Par still has some power of the Wishsong. When he accidently brings a mythic horror to life, a man calling himself Cogline drives it away. Cogline brings a message from Allanon: venture to the dread Hadeshorn, along with the other Scions of Shannara. For in the future, all life in the Four Lands will be destroyed. To prevent this terrible fate, Allanon commands Par to recover the long-lost Sword of Shannara, a task that is next to impossible. Thus continues the enthralling Shannara epic, a spellbinding tale of adventure, magic, and myth. . . . BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Terry Brooks's The Measure of the Magic.

Book excerpt: Aubrey Miller is off to College and more than ready to leave her small town and the cheating ex that resides there. After being accepted into the most prestigious sorority at Murston College, Aubrey is confident that this is exactly where she is meant to be. At the sorority welcome party, Aubrey meets the man of her dreams. Jesse is everything her scummy ex-boyfriend could never be. There is only one small problem, Jesse's cousin Chase thinks that he claimed her first. Aubrey isn’t about to let some Neanderthal from the dark ages tell her who can and can not date. Just who does he think he is? Chase Walker is a full-blooded werewolf and the future Alpha of the Murston pack. Jesse and Chase have been best friends since childhood, but are now willing to lay down their lives for Aubrey. A little on the dramatic and obsessive side, but fate and their frenzied animal instincts can do that. Who can she trust with her heart? One man she loved at first sight, the other, no matter how hard she tries to ignore, he pulls heavy on her heart. Is it possible to love two men at the same time? Secrets begin to shed as quickly as clothing, while love and laughter turn into heartbreak and tears. With so many mysteries, not only at Murston, but also within her own family, who can she trust? Is she ready for the truth? Better yet, are you?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Fantasy Western Tale. Alan made a promise to his dying father to protect his mischievous little brother. But after his brother gets on the bad side of a notorious outlaw and his gang, Alan's small town is pulled into a cycle of violence and vengeance. All the while, Alan is discovering that he is manifesting the ability to control fire, an illegal ability in the realm. To save his brother, Alan can harvest his special power and fight the outlaws, but doing so may cause him to become an outlaw himself. The choice between stopping the violence and keeping his quiet life is further complicated as his newlywed wife discovers she is pregnant. But, as violence grips the town, the mayor and his associates plot to rid themselves of the violence they accidentally started, even if it means sacrificing the lives of two farm boys. Full of gunfights, outlaws, gunslingers with magic powers, and shadowy secret societies, this weird west fantasy tale blends elements of a Spaghetti Western with elements of High Fantasy, while maintaining a story that’s small in scope, but rich in character.

Fiorello. The genesis of this word began in 1978, when a secret experiment within the confines of the Vatican walls set forth a chain of events that would either validate the tenets of Christian faith . . . or destroy it.
