Book Description
The Wraithwood's Whisper: A Tale of Forgotten Souls and Unseen Shadows In the heart of the Wraithwood, where reality merged with magic and the unexplained, an eclipse cast an ominous darkness. Adam Smith and his companions, standing amidst the ancient trees, felt the triumph of lifting the curse sour into a choking fog of dread. Something had stirred with the alignment of the stars, something that whispered its disdain through the shivering leaves. Their hard-won peace shuddered beneath the weight of an anticipated peril. Marion, her voice the thread connecting worlds, intuited a harrowing truth -- the forest's release from one torment may have awakened another. The woods, abuzz with new apprehension, demanded of its protectors a readiness for the unknown trials that lurked in twilight's embrace. The eclipse was no mere celestial whim; it was a forewarning. A darkness retreated, yet as the eclipse's shadow passed, a silence bore down. It clawed at the victory, suggesting their quest was not complete. What of those vanished, swallowed by enigmas, surrendering their echoes to an eternity among the Wraithwood's murmurs? The group, bound by a collective resolve, faced an unaddressed mystery: the fate of the long-lost souls they had not yet returned to the light. Their journey had cleansed the land, but could they restore its heart fully if whispers of the vanished remained unanswered? As the celebratory songs of mythical creatures succumbed to the woodland's troubling hush, Dr. Rivera proposed a séance. Together, amid the forest's central sanctum, surrounded by the remnants of supernatural struggle, they lit candles that flickered like the feeble hope of the forgotten. Holding hands, they embarked on a spectral summoning, casting their call deep into the shroud between realms. The spirits, liberated from the inescapable in-between, embraced the light cast by their living counterparts, dissipating into tranquillity. Clara, the woman whose legacy had steered them through shadows, offered a glance that bridled a thousand unspoken gratitudes before stepping through the luminescent threshold. In releasing the ghastly remnants, the Wraithwood exhaled. The land was not only purified of curses; its ethereal inhabitants had found solace, passing through the lanterns' beacon into the dawn beyond. Yet the shadow's omen lingered, an insidious whisper probing the fringes of their consciousness; they were acutely aware that this respite could be temporary. They conferred amongst themselves; their respite might be fleeting. A vigil had to be established -- guarding against the return of darkness, prepared for the eventualities of an inscrutable future. In the newfound silence spoke a tacit pact: they would remain the sentinels of the Wraithwood, the human bulwark against an unassailable dusk. Their departure from the séance's solemnity was a silent testament to their unwavering guardianship. Shadows behind them not omens of threats, but proof of light prevailing and unity strengthened. For in the heart of Wraithwood, amid the echoes of those who had vanished, lay the unshakable truth that light endures, that forgotten whispers find voice, and that even in the darkest of woods, there will always be those who stand firm for the dawn.

Book Description
Heroes and Villains are known for their dedication to one nemesis. But what do they do when they need a new one?Up-and-coming teen superhero Cortex is on top of the world-at least, until his villain dumps him. If he's going to save his reputation, he needs a new villain to fight, and fast. Meanwhile, the villainous Vortex has once again gotten a little overeager and taken out a hero prematurely. Will any young hero be able to keep up with her? Maybe she should work on finding a steady relationship with an enemy she won't kill in the first round.Enter Meta-Match, a nemesis pairing site for heroes and villains. The two match right away, and after throwing punches at each other behind coffee shops, practicing their fight choreography, and hiring henchmen to do their bidding (mostly just getting them coffee), they realize they have a lot more in common than names that annoyingly rhyme. After all, they're still rising through the ranks in their respective circles, and their reputations need good press.But not everything in the superhero world is as it seems. Can a hero really trust a villain to do the right thing? And can a villain trust a hero not to screw them over? As darkness from the past threatens them both, they may need each other for the fight to come-one with much higher stakes than their choreographed meet-ups on weekends.Told entirely through texts, transcriptions, and direct messages, this darkly humorous chat fiction rom-com goes behind the scenes of the superworld.

Book Description
Nicholas and Olivia Atwater combine ghosts, goblins, and dreadful faeries in a “swashbuckling steampunk adventure that delivers” (Caitlin Rozakis). Pick up Echoes of the Imperium and dive into a daring, madcap adventure that dashes from start to finish. A fallen empire. A goblin airship captain. One big, blasphemous problem. Captain William Blair has taken shady jobs before—what goblin hasn’t? But this shady job has pirates off the port bow and legendary aethermancers knocking at his cabin door. Unfortunately, Wil has sworn an Oath to escort his newest dubious passenger wherever she wants to go… and a goblin must be worth his word. The ragtag crew of the Iron Rose once survived the fall of an empire—but none of them are interested in revisiting the experience. As the dregs of the Imperium rise again to claw at their heels, Wil and his crew must face the literal ghosts of their past… or else history may well repeat itself. Praise for Echoes of the Imperium "Swashbuckling steampunk adventure with a healthy dose of self-awareness, Echoes of the Imperium keeps sight of the social and ecological impacts of a steam-driven empire while delivering what we're here for--airship aerial dogfighting, aether-driven explosions, goggles that do something, and tragically shattered tea sets. And found family. And goblins." —Caitlin Rozakis, NYT-bestselling author of Dreadful "Blair is such a wonderful, crunchy, gold-hearted captain-rogue, and his pack of misfits are all so faceted and intriguing. The blend of faerie and steampunk is equally full of familiar delights and surprising new twists. Whether you're here for madcap airship battles and swashbuckling steampunk knights, or the hard and beautiful truths about redemption and second chances, this is a rollicking adventure that satisfies on every level!" —Davinia Evans, author of Notorious Sorcerer "A subversive, heartfelt and heart-soaring adventure of found family, redemption in the wake of war, broken tea sets and one singularly wonderful goblin captain. This is unmissable swashbuckling fantasy." —Tasha Suri, author of The Jasmine Throne "The Atwaters deliver a punchy, riotous ride through tumultuous skies, with a cast of gold-hearted rogues. Fans of Firefly and Leverage will want to join this motley crew!" —Charlotte E. English, author of Wyrde and Wayward and Modern Magick "Echoes of the Imperium resounds with wit, adventure, and heart, in a story that weaves irresistible roguish charm with powerful themes of regret and redemption. This is a world and a crew you'll never want to leave." —Jacquelyn Benson, author of Empire of Shadows

Book Description
Love arrives at the most unexpected time . . . 1821: Elias Roch has ghastly luck with women. He met Josephine De Clare once and penned dozens of letters hoping to find her again. 2021: Josie De Clare has questionable taste in boyfriends. The last one nearly ruined her friendship with her best friend. Now, in the wake of her father's death, Josie finds Elias's letters. Suddenly she's falling in love with a guy who lived two hundred years ago. And star-crossed doesn't even begin to cover it . . . “Dearest Josephine is the type of story that becomes your own. The characters’ heartaches worked their way into my own chest until I hurt with them, hoped with them, and dared to dream with them. This book is teeming with swoon-worthy prose, adorable humor, and an expert delivery of ‘Will they end up together?’ I guarantee you’ll be burning the midnight candle to a stub to get answers. Step aside Pride and Prejudice, there’s a new romance on the English moors.” —Nadine Brandes, author of Romanov “Caroline George infuses an epistolary love story with a romance and charm that crosses centuries. Touching and inventive, it bursts with wit, warmth, and a blending of classic and contemporary that goes together like scones and clotted cream. Dearest Josephine is a delight.” —Emily Bain Murphy, author of The Disappearances “Dearest Josephine is more than an immersive read. It is a book lover’s dream experience. Josie’s residence in a gothic English manor and her deeply romantic connection to Elias, who lived years in the past, is as chillingly atmospheric as Rochester calling across the moors. This story is George’s treatise on the power of books and character to creep across centuries, to pull us close and invite us to live in a fantasy where we find love—literally—in the kinship of ink and binding. But it also acknowledges the dangers of letting ourselves fall too deeply when sometimes an equally powerful connection is waiting next door. This love letter to books, and the readers who exist in and for them, is a wondrously singular escape.” —Rachel McMillan, author of The London Restoration and The Mozart Code Romantic and evocative read in both contemporary and historical time periods Stand-alone novel Book length: 86,000 words Includes discussion questions for book clubs

Book Description
It's not easy, being King. Especially since he has an allergy to sunrise and sunset, a fire-goddess for a mother-in-law, demonic adversaries, random assassins, and a basement full of insecurities to cope with. Add to that his daughter, the priestess/princess, a couple of lightly-deranged professional magicians, a whole city full of wizards, and enough squabbling princes to resemble a kindergarten argument. It's enough to make a man want to just go home. Luckily for Eric, he has the world's largest pet rock, a smart-mouthed sword, and a horse that not only understands him, but likes him anyway.
