The small Midwestern town of Orison Crossing has a secret: it’s 2006 and a Civil War veteran has an office on Main Street. Sure, the townsfolk whisper all kinds of rumors, but when they say, “Bloodsucking lawyer,” they mean it literally.
Humans. Vampires. God. Lucifer.
One woman stands between them…and they all want her dead.
Orphaned in an accident ten years ago, Paresh Hawthorne returns to her childhood home and her reality shatters. Her uncle kidnapped her. The man who should have raised her, attorney Eric Ravenscroft, is a vampire. And she may not be as human as she thought.
Already ensnared by the despair of failure, Eric must face the guilt of a widower in love and grapple with the unearthly desires of his predatory beast. Paresh's innocence and ethereal blood are ultimate temptations. But, as a cloaked man haunts Paresh's dreams, another threat appears in Eric's brother, Jonathan, a harbinger who stalks the shadows with cryptic motives.
Mysteries and lies stack on escalating threats and a family history tarnished by murder, but the truest dangers lurk in madness and the unknown. The Vampiric High Council's Arch Elder has staked his interest in Paresh and the grace of God may not be enough to protect her. The fabled prophecy to redeem the Vampiric Nation may be upon them, but will their cold-hearted leader choose salvation . . . or order Jonathan to kill their savior in favor of destruction?

The Kolm Trilogy

Kolm is different…
…and different is not good in the villages.
Brought to live with the weavers Atil & Erna, and the twins, Nari & Fynn, Kolm tries to live as quietly as possible. But an odd experience during the knife throwing competition leads to an unexpected win. The winners have the privilege of presenting the offerings on Midsummers night to the Tur-ami, the demi-god guardians of the land, who come in larger-than-life animal form.
So far Kolm had been having a good day, but it starts to go strange when he is given an offering of meat stew to give to a Tur-ami.
Everyone knows the Tur-ami do not eat meat.
Forbidden by tradition from speaking at the sacred time, Kolm waits with dread in the light of the two moons, radiant blue Faera and little red Nith, as a wolf Tur-ami approaches. No one has ever seen a wolf Tur-ami before, and when the demi-god decides to eat Kolm’s offering and lay on his feet, Kolm wonders if he has become the next offering. Old Haak, the leader of the proceedings, declares that Kolm has been claimed by the wolf Tur-ami and needs to spend time alone with it.
After a broken night’s sleep under the moons, Kolm starts to hear a voice speaking to him within his mind. The wolf begins to communicate with Kolm through mindspeak, exploring his abilities and starting to train him to use them.
Meanwhile, the villagers become unnerved by what has happened to Kolm and look for a way to remove him from their community. Kolm is left with no other option but to leave the only home he has known. Nari and Fynn, wanting to escape arranged partnerships, determine to leave with him and the three set out, narrowly avoiding a raid to capture Kolm.
With Freyki, the Tur-ami, leading them to a secret destination, they embark on an adventure to discover Kolm’s past and help him forge a future not just for him, but his whole world.

When a crown is at stake, blood will be shed…
Malory is bound by blood to ensure the High Crown is returned to her kingdom—be it the blood that runs through her veins or the blood spilled at her feet.
The eldest heir of the kingdom of Devlishire, Malory is destined to be the first reigning queen in a hundred years, though she’d prefer to spend her days sparring in the courtyard or reading tales of the long-forgotten gods rather than studying languages and royal lineage. But an upset in the balance of power between the Unified Kingdoms is about to disrupt peace in the land and promote unquenchable greed amongst its rulers.
A jealous younger brother—and a salacious rumor—leaves Malory as a pawn in her father’s plot to overthrow the new ruling king. She’s forced to participate or risk the life of her best friend Esmond, a knight in the King’s Guard. Betrayed by her family, sent away from her home, and denied her birthright, Malory will navigate the courts of her new kingdom to protect it against any who threaten it—even her. Her journey will reawaken the warrior inside herself, and the gods who have lain dormant for a hundred years.
The High Crown Chronicles is a young adult fantasy that embraces the spirit of betrayal, deception, and political intrigue that is at the core of Philippa Gregory novels, with the dark vengeance of George R.R. Martin. With heart-stopping action, relatable characters, and impeccable writing, the first novel in The High Crown Chronicles by Jodi Gallegos is sure to leave readers hungry for more.

Camelot Rising Trilogy
3 / 3 books Complete
A new fantasy series set in the world of Camelot that bestselling author Christina Lauren calls "brilliant," reimagining the Arthurian legend . . . where nothing is as magical and terrifying as a girl.
Princess Guinevere has come to Camelot to wed a stranger: the charismatic King Arthur. With magic clawing at the kingdom's borders, the great wizard Merlin conjured a solution--send in Guinevere to be Arthur's wife . . . and his protector from those who want to see the young king's idyllic city fail. The catch? Guinevere's real name--and her true identity--is a secret. She is a changeling, a girl who has given up everything to protect Camelot.
To keep Arthur safe, Guinevere must navigate a court in which the old--including Arthur's own family--demand things continue as they have been, and the new--those drawn by the dream of Camelot--fight for a better way to live. And always, in the green hearts of forests and the black depths of lakes, magic lies in wait to reclaim the land.
Deadly jousts, duplicitous knights, and forbidden romances are nothing compared to the greatest threat of all: the girl with the long black hair, riding on horseback through the dark woods toward Arthur. Because when your whole existence is a lie, how can you trust even yourself? *THE FIRST BOOK IN THE CAMELOT RISING TRILOGY*
"A rare and enviable mix of impeccable writing, heart-stopping action, lush scenery, and complex, relatable characters . . . brilliant!" --New York Times bestselling author Christina Lauren

"Stylish and action-packed, full of ambitious families and guilt-ridden loves, Jade City is an epic drama reminiscent of the best classic Hong Kong gangster films but set in a fantasy metropolis so gritty and well-imagined that you'll forget you're reading a book."
-- Ken Liu, winner of the Hugo, Nebula, and World Fantasy Awards and author of The Grace of Kings and The Paper Menagerie and Other Stories
FAMILY IS DUTY. MAGIC IS POWER. HONOR IS EVERYTHING.
Jade is the lifeblood of the island of Kekon. It has been mined, traded, stolen, and killed for -- and for centuries, honorable Green Bone warriors like the Kaul family have used it to enhance their magical abilities and defend the island from foreign invasion. Now, the war is over and a new generation of Kauls vies for control of Kekon's bustling capital city. They care about nothing but protecting their own, cornering the jade market, and defending the districts under their protection. Ancient tradition has little place in this rapidly changing nation.
When a powerful new drug emerges that lets anyone -- even foreigners -- wield jade, the simmering tension between the Kauls and the rival Ayt family erupts into open violence. The outcome of this clan war will determine the fate of all Green Bones -- from their grandest patriarch to the lowliest motorcycle runner on the streets -- and of Kekon itself.
JADE CITY begins an epic tale of family, honor, and those who live and die by the ancient laws of jade and blood"

'Harry Dresden would like Alex Verus tremendously - and be a little nervous around him. I just added Benedict Jacka to my must-read list. Fated is an excellent novel, a gorgeously realized world with a uniquely powerful, vulnerable protagonist. Books this good remind me why I got into the storytelling business in the first place' Jim Butcher, author of the Dresden Files

He won't sell you a wand or mix you a potion, but if you know what you're looking for, he might just be able to help. That's if he's not too busy avoiding his would-be apprentice, foiling the Dark, outwitting the Light, and investigating a mysterious relic that has just turned up at the British Museum.
