EVERYTHING IS ABOUT TO BURNWe all know the story. Cinderella's father remarries. She gets a crappy new family. He dies in a tragic accident and she is forced into a life of servitude.But what happens when Ella's father is brutally murdered and she's sold to the Romans? What happens when she meets a dark fae who tempts her to embrace the embers in her heart? When he shows her the fire she was born with and coaxes those powers to light? What happens when he tells her that she doesn't need a prince.She needs a crown.----Excerpt: Climbing to her feet, Ella looked southeast to the lands of the dark fae. For years she'd contemplated venturing in to find the Dark One, but the stories all said he only took one type of payment - the selling of one's soul.But Ella didn't care anymore. The gods could judge her in the afterlife because she was already living in hell.Decision made, Ella headed for the hill. She came across a circle of stones, ten and three in number, most of which were taller than her. Wildflowers grew inside it, as did various mushrooms, including penny buns and many she'd never seen before.Figuring this had to be the place, Ella stepped into the clearing and lifted her chin. "Hello?" she called out, but only the birds answered her. Frowning, she took another step forward. "I'm here to make a deal with the dark fae," she tried again.Straining her ears, she tried to listen for a mystical voice, but all she heard were the birds and insects. Muttering, Ella shook her head. She was being foolish. There were no fae here. Everyone knew they had left this world long ago.Placing her basket on the ground, she reached for the closest cluster of penny buns. She's just been about to pick them when a low voice echoed through the meadow."Remove them and I will do the same to you."Jerking to her feet, Ella quickly turned her head. She peered all around her, but did not see the man who had spoken. "Who's there?" she demanded."You come into my home and dare ask who I am?"She swallowed as a man stepped out from behind one of the stones. He was built to perfection. Broad shoulders. Strong jaw. Lean and fit and beautifully shirtless. His bare chest showed off a web of blue tattoos. But it was his eyes that held her. His eyes that were old and ancient. That spoke of horrors she could never imagine. That whispered of dangers she would not survive. Taking a step back, Ella wetted her lips. "Are...are ye the fae?"He studied her with his dark eyes. They were as black as his hair, bottomless voids of chaos that led straight to the Otherworld. It was as if he was peering into her soul, weighing her worth and finding it too light to give a damn.Digging her fingers into her thighs, Ella raised her chin. He smiled lazily, but it was far too feral to be nice.

He's Sworn to Protect the Emperor at All CostsWhen he was a child, Bjerner sacrificed his eyes to the Goddess of Death. Raised as a warrior, he's now a trusted member of the Varangian guard. As he struggles to keep the emperor alive, Bjerner is forced to take a mission that will either see him killed or see him hailed as a hero.She's Tired of HeroesAll they ever want to do is try to kill her. Ever since she was born, Ophidia has been hunted like an animal and all because of what she is: a beast that has the power to turn people into stone.Forced to hide in a cave her entire life with only the dead heroes for company, Ophidia desperately wants her next visitor to be a little less stabby.And less inclined to look at her face.And would it really kill them to just talk to her first?But as the centuries pass, she's starting to lose hope that such a man exists...--------Excerpt: "How could you?" Euryale hissed, the pain and helpless frustration in her heart making her sound angry. "You knew better than to sleep with him. How could you think that he would protect you?""He promised -" Medusa gritted her teeth, her face contorting in pain. The vial shook in her hand.Her eyes narrowed. "He's promised many a girl, you dolt. Women throw themselves at him all the time.""Enough," their older sister ordered as she slithered forward and wrapped a hand around the vial. "It matters no more. The deed is done." She helped Medusa raise the potion to her lips. "Now drink."But as the wind changed direction, blowing towards them with a mocking gentleness, the three of them froze. The snakes on their heads all rose together, their long forked tongues licking out to taste the breeze.Perseus.He had the favour of the gods behind him. Athena herself had gifted him with a shield to protect him from their stone-turning gazes.Euryale's fists clenched at the thought of the goddess. She had once been Medusa's patron, her friend even. But instead of being understanding when Poseidon had seduced their sister (and what woman could resist his charms?), Athena had cursed her with this monstrous form. And when Euryale and Stheno had stood beside her, outraged at the unfairness of it all, the goddess had cursed them too. And now she had sent Perseus, a demi-god, to kill them.

He saved her, slept with her, then leftHopefully straight to NiflhelThe bastard. Phoebe doesn't care that Tegan's the head of the Elv've'Norc and has the weight of the Seven Planes on his shoulders.

If she doesn't escape soon, she's going to go into a murderous rage. Or do something drastic.Something she is absolutely flippin' certain he isn't going to like.He saved her, slept with her, then leftAnd every step away was torture.Every night, Tegan thinks about calling her. And every night, he stops. If his enemies find out there's someone he cares about, they'll torture her to get to him. Just like they did his first wife.And so he stays away. Stays focused on protecting the Seven Planes. With Sebastian gearing up for something big and the Duesychosis Plague nearly running free in the Underground, he has a lot to keep him distracted.Until she calls...asking to marry another man.

SHE KILLS WITHOUT MERCYOn her thirteenth birthday, Thalliya watched her entire family get slaughtered. The humans cut off their fins and hung their heads from their Viking ships. Left cradling what few pieces remained of her twin, Thalliya screamed to the gods for vengeance.Answered by the Goddess of Love and War, Thalliya now guards the seas without mercy.HE FIGHTS WITHOUT FEARRagnar is hired to take care of the mermaid terrorising the western seas. With seventeen kills under his belt, he thinks little of venturing into the Mouth of Hel. It'll be a quick job with a quick pay...But when his ship is wrecked and the majority of his crew is drowned, Ragnar realises that it's not a mermaid he's hunting. It's a morgen, a dark mermaid, that's hunting him.And there's only one way to kill one of those.You have to get her to fall in love.-----EXCERPTOn a broken scream, Thalliya slammed the comb into her chest.She gasped. Her heart jerked against the three teeth. Her eyes snapped open as she sagged forward in agony."Give it to me "Tightening her fist around the comb, Thalliya gritted her teeth and pulled. Tears flooded the sea. She stopped, unable to endure the pain.But then the pounding in her ears was interrupted by another splash. And another and another until she was drowning in the sickening sound that would haunt her forever. Clenching her jaw, Thalliya took a deep breath.And ripped her heart free.The goddess took it without hesitation. A bright light flashed in front of her, but Thalliya was too weak to lift her head."Breathe, my child. The pain will be over soon."A warm hand touched her shoulder. The dragon inside her chest wriggled where her heart had lain. She clenched her teeth, expecting more pain. Startled, she looked up as a delicious heat spread through her entire body."Our deal is done." The goddess smiled warmly. Then her eyes hardened as she grabbed Thalliya's chin. "Never give yer heart to another," she warned, "or I will take back what I have just given."Her lips trembling, Thalliya nodded. "Never," she whispered. Her fists opened and then clenched again. She would not rest. She would never know love.Not until every last man was dead.

A reference book about the Book of Shadow series by Miranda Grant. It includes artwork, slight spoilers for the series, never before seen information about the Shadow brothers and the world behind the pages.Excerpt from the section about summoning circles: "You also need to say an incantation to activate the summoning spell and call the demon forth. Most demons only need one to two sentences as they cannot resist the call. Stronger demons can require chanting for a long fucking time.The incantation sounds cool because it's in Drazic, but it's basically just telling the demon to get their ass over here and what you'll do if they don't. So talk as much smack as you want, but you better be able to back it up, especially if it gets free as the demon will hear all of this when they're being summoned.If a demon appears and fancy shit starts happening inside the circle like smoke and fire, don't go ooh and awww. That's them testing the strength of your magic. They are about to fuck your shit up.Only a handful of people throughout history have managed to summon a demon prince. Only two people -Lou Lesli Black and Maddox Snail Shadow- have managed to summon one and live."
