Silk Road for a powerful mysterious artefact in this essential
Assassin’s Creed adventure Cairo, 824 – In the bowels of

someone expendable… Granted her freedom, Roshan joins a crew of

ahead of her backstabbing gang and survive the mission. For her

world she might have been destined for all along.

Four women. One world changed forever. It has all come down to
this. Werewolf Tommi Grayson always knew she was a weapon, she just
needed the right target. Never in a million years did she expect
that target to be the current leaders of the supernatural world.
Sprite Dreckly Jones has spent the entirety of her 140-years hiding
in one form or another. Until now. Having seen enough wars, she
should be fleeing from the action. Yet some battles are
unavoidable. Some are destined. Corvossier 'Casper' von Klitzing
knew this day was coming. Or rather, the ghost of her dead brother
Creeper kept telling her so. Repeatedly. The supernatural world is
in outright revolt against their government, the Treize, and
Casper's gift to rally the living and the dead is more vital than
ever. Banshee Sadie Burke's bravery was the catalyst for this chaos
- and for the unique chance the supernatural world now has to
change the balance of power forever. Witches and werewolves working
together. Sprites teaming up with shifters. Demons and goblins in
cahoots. The human world on the precipice of learning they're not
alone. Yet Sadie's power came at a cost, three of them in fact,
with the future hinging on the birth of her unborn triplets. The
four women and their collective of monsters, misanthropes and
misfits have no choice but to risk everything to save everything,
with their personal prejudices paling in comparison to a
possibility ... the possibility of a better world for themselves
and every being that comes after. This is the thrilling conclusion
to Maria Lewis' award-winning, best-selling Supernatural Sisters:

***Shortlisted for Best Fantasy Novel in the Aurealis Awards***
***Shortlisted for the Vogel Award *** Good girls don't talk back.
Good girls don't cry. Good girls don't scream. Sadie Burke has been
forced to be a good girl her entire life. As a banshee, she's the
bottom of the ladder when it comes to the supernatural hierarchy.
Weak. Condemned. Powerless. Silent. That's what she and her six
sisters have been told their entire lives, since their species was
first banished from Ireland. Yet when a figure from her childhood
unexpectedly arrives on the scene, Sadie finds it harder than ever
to toe the line. Texas Contos is the son of their greatest
oppressor. He's also someone she's inexplicably drawn to, and as
they grow closer, Sadie begins to question what banshees have been
told for centuries about their gifts. But the truth comes at a
cost. With Sadie and Tex forced to run for their lives, their
journey leads them to new friends, old enemies, and finally to her
true voice - one that could shatter the supernatural world forever.

Jess never imagined that ending one relationship would be the
beginning of a battle for her affections from not one, not two, but
three different guys. Bobby, the long-term boyfriend Jess wants to
leave is just as determined not to be left. He believes that if
there's no other man then there must be hope, and as there's no
mention of another man... Gary, the unmentioned man who's had his
eye on Jess for a long time. He isn't about to let the fact that he
has a fiance spoil his chances either. Having his cake and eating
it is the solution and now that the cake is on his plate... As if
dealing with those two isn't enough, enter Tyrone - the usually shy
guy who chooses this time of all times to find his nerve and add
himself to Jess's ever growing list of suitors. There's no doubt,
Jess is in triple trouble. Bobby won't allow Jess to let go of the
commitment she doesn't want, Gary won't give her the commitment she
does want and Tyrone...well, she's not sure what he wants. And with
no-one taking no for an answer, how on earth does a girl get out of
a situation like this?

mother dies, a shattered Tommi decides to track down her estranged
father. Leaving Scotland for a remote corner of New Zealand, she
discovers the truth of her heritage - and it's a whole lot more

return to her her friends, pretending everything is normal, while
