The path of destiny burns with love, magic and betrayal…
From a remote hilltop haven, far from the city of Fantome, Seraphine
Marchant and her Order of Flames plot to eradicate shade magic with
lightfire. But as Sera struggles to control her blooming powers,
destiny calls her back to Fantome, and to the assassin who haunts her
dreams.
Ransom Hale can’t get Sera out of his head. As their rivalry grows and
he grapples with the responsibility of leading the Order of Daggers, he
feels himself slipping further from who he wants to be. Is he doomed to
a life in the shadows? Or can he forge another path?
Meanwhile, rebellion is stirring in the kingdom and a dangerous prince
grows in power. Forced to work together by order of the king, Sera and
Ransom’s conflicted hearts are tested to their limits. And all the
while, an ancient prophecy is unfolding that will change the fate of
Valterre forever…
Private Cory Reddick is haunted by his past. As a teenager, he
had a different name: Geoff Anders. Back then, he testified against
a vicious gang, and his family was hidden by the witness protection
program. Now armed with a new name and superior reflexes, Cory
starts over with Sol System Defense. Their newest ship, "c"-Surfer,
needs his talents.
The "c"-Surfer test flight program is in trouble. The spaceship
is beautiful, but it has its share of problems. Cory's
extraordinary reflexes could be the answer to saving "c"-Surfer,
but his past may be catching up with him. The trouble he had with
the gangs on Station One now threatens his friends, his family, and
his crew.
Vengeful gang members will stop at nothing to get to him,
including sabotaging his ship and murdering the people he loves
most. It might be in his best interest to leave in order to protect
his friends-but doing so could mean the end of "c"-Surfer. Either
way, Cory's decision will have repercussions, and the consequences
could be deadly.
Big Brother is watching you . . . Under the all-seeing eye of Big
Brother, Winston Smith spends his days in the Ministry of Truth,
rewriting the past for the Party. Despite constant surveillance and
the ever-present threat of repression, he starts to inwardly
question the regime. A note from a colleague - 'I love you' - marks
the beginning of a secret affair that breaks all the rules. But
what will happen when they are found out? This classic dystopian
novel is a vision of life under a totalitarian regime, where every
thought or action could bring the Thought Police to the door . . .
Now with a stunningly sinister cover by Nathan Burton.
A thrilling gothic tale of hubris gone badly wrong. A young man's
search for the secret of the spark of life leads him to a horrific
experiment in which he creates a gigantic creature from dismembered
body parts. Rejected by his creator, the initially gentle creature
turns monstrous when his desire to find companionship and love are
thwarted. Tanya Landman revisits Mary Shelley's classic Gothic
horror story, bringing to life Dr Frankenstein and his monstrous
creation in an accessible format that more readers can enjoy.
