Book Description
USA TODAY BESTSELLER A Master Chief story and original full-length novel set in the Halo universe—based on the New York Times bestselling video game series! October 2559. It has been a year since the renegade artificial intelligence Cortana issued a galaxy-wide ultimatum, subjecting many worlds to martial law under the indomitable grip of her Forerunner weapons. Outside her view, the members of Blue Team—John-117, the Master Chief; Fred-104; Kelly-087; and Linda-058—are assigned from the UNSC Infinity to make a covert insertion onto the ravaged planet Reach. Their former home and training ground—and the site of humanity’s most cataclysmic military defeat near the end of the Covenant War—Reach still hides myriad secrets after all these years. Blue Team’s mission is to penetrate the rubble-filled depths of CASTLE Base and recover top-secret assets locked away in Dr. Catherine Halsey’s abandoned laboratory—assets which may prove to be humanity’s last hope against Cortana. But Reach has been invaded by a powerful and ruthless alien faction, who have their own reasons for being there. Establishing themselves as a vicious occupying force on the devastated planet, this enemy will soon transform Blue Team’s simple retrieval operation into a full-blown crisis. And with the fate of the galaxy hanging in the balance, mission failure is not an option…

Book Description
The theocratic state of Argacia offers Braya a choice: sacrifice or banishment. But even a repressive regime cannot quell her desire for something more — neither Braya’s nor the two men on whom her destiny depends. *** In the theocratic state of Argacia, where ears listen behind closed doors and the watchful eye of the Sect sees all, Braya Farroe is one of Gaia’s Chosen. Braya can harness the immense energy trapped within sylla crystals. But oftentimes, her power feels less like a blessing and more like a curse. CHOSEN TO KEEP THE DARKNESS AT BAY The Sect Elders have spent years preparing Braya to enter an endless sleep wherein her body will be used as a vessel to extract the syllan flames that fuel Argacia’s forges. But Braya is secretly sceptical about the rhetoric the Sect spews. She wants more than a life of service and solitude. She wants to be free. And when two masked men from the dreaded Mollakai arrive early to perform the sacrificial ceremony, Braya strikes a bargain with an underground resistance movement to escape. However, when she places her faith in the wrong person, someone close to her is captured. NO ONE CAN OUTRUN THEIR DESTINY Grief-stricken and alone, Braya jumps at an offer to save her loved ones, but there’s a catch. She must win the Rite of Radnick, a once-in-a-generation quest to discover a new deposit of sylla. And when she finds herself thrust into a sacred land surrounded by competitors more vicious than the mythical creatures trying to kill her, Braya must discover who is worthy of her trust and her heart. Because once you enter the Rite of Radnick, there are only two choices: RISE OR DIE The Rite of Radnick is the first book in a new adrenaline-fuelled, epic fantasy romance series, perfect for fans of Fourth Wing, The Serpent and the Wings of Night and A Fate Inked in Blood.

Driven by his insatiable hunger for more, the God of Death will do whatever it takes to control his brothers and sisters. Creating offspring more powerful than God and Keeper alike, Death uses his own sons to carry out his plans. It is up to a group of dedicated Keepers to put an end to Death's bid for dominance while saving their mates from the sadistic means of the God who will stop at nothing to gain power over all.

Horace F. Andrews and his friend Chloe are Keepers of magical objects of extraordinary power.

Accompanied by a mysterious woman with a power of her own and the young boy leading them in the right direction, April is being pursued by a pack of sinister hunters. Will she reach the Warren in time, and will it offer safety or only more danger? Ted Sanders’s series has the feel of classic fantasy with a science fiction twist, and this second book, The Harp and the Ravenvine, will thrill readers with adventure, intrigue, and the unexpected at every turn.

As the God of Death continues his battle for supremacy, three hearts are caught in a whirlwind of danger that will test the very limits of their strength and love. For three millennia, Cyaan has survived a warrior's life, taking passion as it came and revenge when it was due. Yet none of that could have prepared him for his latest challenge. For five years, he has lived with the pain of having failed his mate. A man who sacrificed his freedom for the sake of another. Cyaan will do everything within his power to bring his mate's kidnapper to justice. But his campaign takes an unexpected turn when he discovers he has a second mate, Loken.

After escaping the ruthless clutches and desires of his captor, Jace once again finds himself held captive by not one man, but two.
