Book Description
"Nagging just sounds so negative, and I am not a negative person. Truth is, I'm the kind of person you'd ask for directions if you were lost, or tell your life story to while waiting in line at the grocery store, which has happened on more than one occasion, believe me." Sure, Ella Boudreaux is great at nagging--in fact, she's the best---but where has it gotten her? Nowhere, that's where. She can't hold onto a job or find her true calling, but she knows it's out there. Could a handsome stranger help her find her destiny? Or maybe he is her destiny...

Author: Brandon Carter
Publisher: Substratial Press

Languages : en
Pages : 638
Book Description
"Rich and detailed, Carter's world and characters live with an energy that makes it hard to believe this is his debut novel!" —Staci Olsen, Author of Falling through Stars “Hits the ground running, and feels like an epic saga from the opening paragraphs. Carter's characters are vivid and complex, often morally ambiguous, and completely engaging. Description and action are handled with balance and eloquence, with crackling dialogue that fully fleshes out each character.” —Darin Miller, Author of The Dwayne Morrow Mysteries “Page turner through and through. This book swept me away on an adventure I could never forget. Magical systems and emotions that hit home, with characters developing before my eyes. Carter instantly became one of my favorite authors.” —Haley Anna Marie, Author of the Elementas Series Thirty feet of rope bridge is all that keeps Nevin from escaping an abusive home life, but fear proves stronger than pain. When a lapse in memory and a bloody canteen coincide with the arrival of the Baron's constabulary, Nevin unwillingly goes on the run. Wherever he hides, fire and soldiers follow. But why does it feel like it's him they're looking for? The inferno chasing him casts a long shadow, and from that darkness emerges a covetous presence. Is he hallucinating, or is it his sins made manifest? With the flames driving him farther and farther from home, will he finally be able to muster the will to take control of an unraveling life, or will the strengthening shadows threaten the lives of foe and friend alike? 'Sparking the Inferno' is an enigmatic and moving tale of unfortunate circumstances and the responsibility of choice that plunges readers into an exciting journey across the troubled world of Stragus.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 560
Book Description
C. S. Lewis’s Chronicles of Narnia meets YA romantasy in this dual point-of-view, slow-burn romance. Sarah Lind thinks her biggest problems are picking a college and helping her large family. Until she falls into the perilous Six Realms, inhabited by human-dragon shapeshifters who fight for their survival against the monsters of Earth’s myths. If Sarah is to find her way home, she will have to work with their Heir, who is kind and handsome enough to put her in a different kind of peril. Koriben Sunfilled thinks his biggest problems are finding a cure for his beloved father and redeeming the magical Covenants that are the basis for his people’s existence (in that order). Until he finds Sarah, an entrancing Earthren who is just the person he needs to help him avert disaster. Yet even greater shadows creep across the horizon. If the Six Realms and Earth are to endure, both Sarah and Ben will have to embrace their destiny—before the Devourer consumes their worlds. Readers who love Brandon Sanderson’s hope-filled, immersive fantasy (but, let’s be honest, crave a bit more romance) will “devour” Dragon's Blood, Book 1 of the Blood of the Covenants Series.
