Summary: Once upon a time, before the hunts, dragons were plentiful in the world. Now they exist only in legend…except in the land of Ivria. Felix is a prince, cousin of the current king, ward of the old one. Knowing he would never sit on the throne, he set himself to become something else—the king's best spy. Aside from a trusted few, people know him as a frivolous, flirtatious prince. They don't see the keen mind behind the charming smile or the love of family and quiet behind the silks and jewels. They certainly don't know he is the eyes and ears of the king. Felix still blames himself for not discovering the plot against Ivria and its king at its beginning, and he's determined to find the remaining members of the conspiracy. If the commander of the King's Guard will get out of his way. Alan is commander of the King's Guard, a role he set himself on the path toward when he was very young. He takes his duty seriously, so seriously there is little room for anything else in his life—not the pastimes he used to enjoy or family or even love. Especially now with the heightened danger to the royal family. He crushed his attraction to the beautiful Prince Felix long ago, but when he finds out Felix is more than he appears, Alan immediately becomes suspicious. Is Felix working for the king or against him? Alan won't let himself be fooled by a pretty face that hides so much, no matter how he used to feel. But the real danger is closer than Felix or Alan realizes, and they're going to have to get over their animosity for each other—and deal with the desire that sparks when they do—if they're going to survive it.

Summary: The demon doesn't need to win. It just needs to wait. Joss knows this. She's watched herself hollow out over months—the rage bleeding in at the edges, the wall holding but the woman behind it failing. When every cure proved a dead end, she made the only logical choice: go home. Say goodbye. Stop pretending. Elena, the woman who first held Joss's heart, has returned. Not with a cure, but with the quiet devastation of someone who cares enough to stay until the end. Abigail, River, and Indigo grieve her while she's still standing. Only Caroline, once her enemy, now something harder to name, refuses to make peace with it. But grief is a luxury none of them can afford for long. Rana has not forgotten what Joss carries. The Hypatia Coven is coming, and it is not coming to offer mercy. The demon is patient. Rana is not. And Joss is running out of time to decide if she has anything left worth fighting for.

Summary: "Lord of the Flies" meets "The Expanse" in this harrowing tale of survival, betrayal, and the fragile line between civilization and savagery ... Inspired by the true story of a 17th-century Dutch Shipwreck … Two thousand light-years from Earth, the ultimate survival game has begun. The Dauntless was supposed to be a beacon of hope—a state-of-the-art colony ship carrying four hundred souls to a lush new world. But beneath the starched uniforms and corporate protocols of the Westmoreland Corporation, a rot is spreading. First Mate Adrian Jacobs is drowning in resentment. Chief Engineer Jeronimus Cornelis is a charismatic sociopath, with a silver tongue and a taste for power. Together, they whisper of a secret cargo—a fortune in Cortium-7—and a mutiny that will turn the ship into their private kingdom. But space has no mercy for the greedy. When a desperate gamble to seize the ship ends in a catastrophic collision, Dauntless is left a mangled wreck on a desolate, twin-asteroid system. Abandoned by their Captain in a search for rescue, the survivors are left in "The Graveyard"—a world of oppressive heat, bone-chilling shadows, and a rapidly vanishing water supply. And as the thin line between order and anarchy vanishes, Jeronimus rises not as a savior, but as a tyrant. In the cold vacuum of P-48, water is life, power is absolute, and the greatest threat may not be the environment after all—but the person standing next to you. This tale is loosely based on the true saga of the Batavia, a Dutch ship that wrecked off the coast of Australia in 1629.
