Savage begins the Dragonrider Legacy series, a thrilling companion to the international bestselling Dragonrider Chronicles.

Never send a hero to do a monster’s job.

Forty years have passed since Jaevid Broadfeather brought peace to Maldobar and Luntharda. But that fragile truce will be tested as darkness gathers on the horizon.

And after an attempt to awaken Jaevid from his divine sleep fails, the fate of Maldobar is looking grim.

Reigh has never known what it means to be a normal human. Raised amongst the gray elves in the wild jungle of Luntharda, he’s tried everything to fit in. But the dark power within him is bursting at the seams—refusing to be silenced. And while his adoptive father, Kiran, insists this power must be kept secret, Reigh knows he’s running out of time.

Her name means “miracle” in Sanskrit, and to her parents, that’s exactly what Kimaya is. The first baby to survive after several miscarriages, Kimi grows up in a mansion at the top of Mumbai’s Pali Hill, surrounded by love and privilege. But at eleven years old, she develops a rare illness that requires her to be confined to a germ-free ivory tower in her home, with only the Arabian Sea churning outside her window for company. . . . Until one person dares venture into her world.

Tasked at fourteen years old with supporting his family, Rahul Savant shows up to wash Kimi’s windows, and an unlikely friendship develops across the plastic curtain of her isolation room. As years pass, Rahul becomes Kimi’s eyes to the outside world–and she becomes his inspiration to better himself by enrolling in the police force. But when a life-saving heart transplant offers the chance of a real future, both must face all that ties them together and keeps them apart.

As Kimi anticipates a new life, Rahul struggles with loving someone he may yet lose. And when his investigation into an organ black market ring run by a sociopathic gang lord exposes dangerous secrets that cut too close to home, only Rahul’s deep, abiding connection with Kimi can keep her safe–and reveal the true meaning of courage, loss, and second chances.

Infused with the rhythms of life in modern-day India, acclaimed author Sonali Dev’s candid, rewarding novel beautifully evokes all the complexities of the human heart.

WHAT YOU MAY HAVE MISSED IN 2017:

 

Darkness can only be controlled by those with the darkest of hearts.

Ellison lost her mother at an early age. Now, sixteen, her father has found love again. He’s happy and doesn’t quite notice that Ellison does not get along with his new wife or her vicious daughters.

When Ellison discovers a necromantic tome while traveling the secret passages of her father’s mansion, she wonders if it could be the key to her eventual freedom.

Until then, she must master her dark new power, even as her stepmother makes her a servant in her own home. And when her younger brother falls incurably ill, Ellison will do anything to ease his pain, including falling prey to her stepmother’s and stepsisters’ every whim and fancy.

Stumbling into a chance meeting with Prince William during a secret visit to her mother’s grave feels like a trick of fate when her stepmother refuses to allow Ellison to attend a palace festival where she might see him once more.

But what if Ellison could see the kind and handsome prince again? What if she could attend the festival? What if she could have everything she’s ever wanted and deserved by conjuring spirits to take revenge on her cruel stepmother? And what if she actually liked watching her stepmother suffer?

As Ellison’s power grows, she loses control over the evil spirits meant to do her bidding. And as they begin to exert their own power over Ellison, it becomes harder to tell whether it is she or her stepmother who is the true monster.

Vices and Virtues: An anthology of the Seven Deadly Sins and Seven Dark Virtues & Giveaway

Vices and Virtues

An Anthology of the Seven Deadly Sins

and Seven Dark Virtues

Genres: Horror, Supernatural,

Paranormal, Sci-Fi, Suspense/Thriller

 Because sometimes, the virtuous are as frightening as the sinful…

Sins will weave you into their

webs. They become the Vice you’re unable to shake. 

There are the values, taught

from birth, which ride a razor’s edge. They turn into

 Dark Virtues, a twisted

mockery of their true meaning.

Pride, envy, lust, gluttony,

anger, greed and sloth all have their place in the 

tapestry of life. They are

the Vices who lost sight of the Virtues: 

charity, temperance, forgiveness,

humility, kindness, chastity and diligence.

Enter the worlds where the tales

of the most sinful of Vices and the darkest of 

Virtues will entice and intrigue you…

…for even among the most devout

there is a dark side.

SINS OF THE FLESH (Gluttony)

BY STACEY BROADBENT

It was a balmy Spring evening when I first discovered

 a taste for human flesh. It was a happy accident

really. After having my heart broken one too many times, 

I'd abstained from any

type of physical relationship with a man for years, 

so when one fell in my lap,

it came as quite the surprise.

EXCERPT SINS OF THE FLESH:

Throwing

caution to the wind, I slipped my feet into a pair of runners and walked down

the road, telling myself it was to clear my mind. But really, I was on the prowl

for fresh meat. Someone vulnerable—easy prey. I had to be smart about it; it

was broad daylight after all.

Every

person who walked past became a possible target. In my mind’s eye, I pictured a

computer log for each one, listing their attributes. Having limited knowledge

on the ins and outs of cannibalism, I had no idea what the perfect body type

was for consumption. Would it matter if they were male or female? Was it better

if they were lean and muscular, or was a layer of padding more flavourful? How

was I to choose?

Turns

out, I didn’t need to think about it at all. On my walk back home, I was

knocked off my feet by a man out for a jog. He’d been too busy flicking through

the playlist on his phone to see me, and by the time we’d both looked up, it was

too late. We collided, my forehead into his chin and mouth. My hands

automatically went up, pressing against his chest and sending us both bouncing

off each other, landing on our behinds. Apologising profusely, he offered me

his hand and pulled me to my feet. The impact had left a red egg on my head and

skinned my palms raw. He, however, came across a little worse for wear,

sporting a newly chipped tooth, and fat, bleeding lip. As soon as I got a whiff

of the blood on his breath, I knew, he was the one.

I

pointed to my house across the street, inviting him in to clean up while he

called the emergency dentist. It was the least I could do.

Ushering

him into the bathroom, I had him perch on the edge of the bath while I rummaged

through the cabinet for the first aid kit. I needed to knock him out somehow.

There was no way I could do this without it… unless…

A MILLION CLAY WOLVES (Greed)

BY AMBER K. BRYANT

Living in a squalid encampment in
the shadows of a towering city, a young woman able to endow objects with magical powers struggles with her brother's growing determination to use her
gift for his own selfish means.

EXCERPT A MILLION CLAY WOLVES :

“Do

you remember Jamey? Has a tattoo of a whale on his right arm, wears a red and

white striped tank top—Sound familiar?”

Mora nodded. “He juggled knives and guns.”

“That’s

right. Jamey is my boyfriend and we’re very happy, only… He has this crazy idea

that he should give up the troop, join the army instead. He thinks it would

provide a better life for us, but he’s wrong. This is the only life I want and

I don’t want it to change. I need you to change his mind.”

“What?” She took a step away from Dare. “I… I can’t do that!”

“You

don’t realize it, but you can. I saw it in you. The ability to endow magic. You

just needed a jumpstart, and yesterday…” she pointed to the feather, “I gave it

to you.”

Mora stared at the feather, still crumpled in her hand.

“Tell

the feather that Jamey’s place is with me. In the troop. Tell the feather it

needs to change Jamey’s mind. Go on.”

Mora

lifted the feather halfway to her face, then paused. This would never work.

Clearly circus life had taken its toll on Dare’s mental health. Or perhaps

unstable people were attracted to the quirky life the troop seemed to lead. It

was silly to give in to Dare’s demands. Then again, if she didn’t do it,

perhaps Dare would become so angry, she’d bust out of her purple corset and

become a rage-fueled She-Hulk. Perhaps the simplest way out of this situation

was to tell the feather to become a mind-changer and then get the hell out of

there.

“Fine,

whatever.” She brought the feather to her lips and blew words into it. “Change

Jamey’s mind. Make him stay. Oh!” She jumped as a tingling sensation moved

through her body, from the soles of her feet up her legs and spine, then out to

the tips of her fingers and into the feather. “What… what just happened.”

Dare’s

face went back to its friendly older sister mode. “Exactly what I thought

would. Thank you, Mora.” She took the feather back from Mora and pinned it into

her dark, shimmering hair. “Wiser people than me would tell you to be careful

with this gift of yours. Magic can be used for good or for evil. It doesn’t

care which, most of the time.”

Confused,

Mora toyed with a stray thread from the hem of her t-shirt. “But you’re… not

telling me to be careful?”

Dare

grasped Mora’s chin and tilted it so their eyes met. “We don’t find out what

we’re capable of through advice.” She gave Mora’s face a tiny squeeze and then

let her go. “Trial and error, darlin’."

What if someone offered you
exactly what you needed?

Ethics and vampirism hardly go together,

relieved, he soon realizes that even what is freely given may yet have
consequences he does not desire.

Go HERE for tour schedule

Hello! We are both novelists, but if you've ever tried to write anything, you know that writing can be a lonely, angst-filled business. So one night over a cocktail or two, we came up with a solution: write our next book together. Malena already had an idea: a girl's sister is kidnapped and she has to rely on mean girls with superpowers to get her sister back. We couldn't resist seeing where that story would take us – a wild ride that includes a loner girl who wants to be a writer and a gorgeous boy who can shoot fire from his eyes but also loves to talk about books. And an ancient Zoroastrian prophecy. And pie shakes. (OK, so maybe we got a little carried away.)

We've both published solo novels (check them out here and here) and had no idea how co-writing would work out, but we pounded out the first draft in a white-hot frenzy of inspiration we called "the Vortex." One of us would write a scene and send it to the other with a note: "My apartment is a pigsty and I haven't eaten all day. #inthevortex." We wrote the book we wanted to read as teenagers: a supernatural thriller with healthy doses of horror and humor. Oh, and of course there's romance. You have to wait a long time for the only kiss in the book, but isn't that the case with all the best kisses in books?
