        THE MAGICSMITH

        by L. R. Braden

        Deeper into the shadows. . . The paranatural community isn’t done with Alex. She’s been summoned to the fae court, and she's got her hands full trying to prepare. But her date with the fae will have to wait. There’s been a death at the gallery, and the man she hoped would be a part of her future is the prime suspect. Bitter enemies pull her into the middle of a paranatural war for territory that has her dodging police, swords, teeth, and claws—not to mention the truth. The deeper she digs, the more secrets she uncovers, and the less certain she is about the innocence of the one man she wanted to trust. She thought she was done with murder and monsters, but she’ll have to enter the belly of the beast if she hopes to save her friend.

        SILK FIRE

        by ZR Ellor

        Koré, a courtesan in a city-planet ruled by women, seeks to sabotage his aristocrat father's campaign for their neighborhood’s imperial throne. Aided by a fragile coalition of allies, including Faziz—a male crime lord who swiftly and unnervingly sees past Koré’s pleasant facade—and Rita— a fun-loving scholar-adventurer—he recruits and campaigns for a more "traditional" candidate to challenge his father. As Koré and Ria investigate his father's allies, they uncover the use of necromancy: a dark art that corrupts, controls, and destroys the precious, limited magical essence that supports all human life on the city-planet. Koré extends some fragile trust to Faziz and Ria so they can discover how deep the threat reaches. But when a chance encounter with a dying god blesses him with the shapeshifting, essencebreathing powers of a dragon, Koré becomes a commodity; if discovered, he'll be imprisoned and forced to breathe magic for the throne. His deepening affection for Faziz and Ria forces him to push them away, but the corruption in his city runs deeper than just one man, and an ally's betrayal unleashes an army of the dead on his home street. Koré must trust the world with his deepest secret to stand beside the woman and man he's finally let himself love, as only the bright truth of dragon's fire can break the iron fist of a necromancer's hold.

        CALLED TO THE DEEP

        by Desiree Niccoli

        When Killian Quinn, captain of offshore fishing boat Dawn Chaser, receives a distress call from a sailing ship caught in a terrible storm, he and his crew rush to provide aid. But when they arrive, all that’s left of the ship and its crew is splintered wood and a borderline hypothermic woman who can’t remember how she survived. His attraction to her is instant, and maintaining a professional distance proves to be a struggle, especially when she needs a place to stay that’s far from the press and curious townsfolk, and his idyllic cottage by the sea is the perfect sanctuary. What was supposed to be a thrilling once-in-a lifetime opportunity for Lorelei Roth—who’d never been to sea—turns into a seafaring tragedy. As Lorelei struggles to accept that she is The Flying Duchess’s only survivor, she is plagued by strange dreams and sleepwalking episodes that draw her into the ocean. And if the grieving process wasn’t hard enough, Lorelei also grapples with guilt from developing feelings for the captain who rescued her. But worst of all, is a new, unsettling hunger for raw flesh that’s eating her from the inside out. The handsome fishing boat captain begins to look like a tasty snack in more ways than one.
