Book Description
Darkness devours freedom. Rage consumes her. Convict Lola Cabello is on a mission to assassinate the fallen angel who shattered her life. Her bloodline plays a key part in the mysterious ash drug’s purpose, pushing her limits. Whispering words from the beyond call her name, promising a gift: at what cost? Deep dive into the conspiracy rabbit hole with legends of old. Mythos, the Wicked, fast-paced action, and tense twists are packed in this gritty novel. The Crystal Moths poison the economics and government. Their influence in scientific progression fuses the unthinkable as part of the fallen angel Mastema’s divine plan for a New World Order. An oracle painter’s esoteric work encodes hidden messages warning reptilian hunter Scalebane of the Moth gangsters, linking to Cabello. The military tie Detective Iglesias’s hands and he plummets into the rabbit hole Lola did. Cabello reunites with the last balancer, Synarion, while roping in Iglesias and a shapeshifting double agent. How can she trust them if she cannot trust herself? She is running out of time. Power calls to Lola. Scalebane’s loyalty is in question. Iglesias buys the conspiracy. What’s right and what’s just cannot coexist. Blood will spill at obsidian’s doorstep. Praise for Obsidian's Command "The conspiracy-driven plot is also exceedingly well-paced and matches the dark fantasy elements and shadowy secrets well, showing Lavery's ability to craft a story that is both intense and thought-provoking, leaving readers eager for more." ★★★★★ K.C. Finn of Readers' Favorite

Star Trek: Mirror Universe: Obsidian Alliances
Author: Peter David
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1416552979
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 449
Book Description
Some say the line between good and evil is narrower than we imagine -- a divide as subtle as a mirror, and perhaps just as deep. To peer into its black, reflective glass is to know the dark potential we each possess, and we cross that obsidian boundary at our peril . . . into a world where we no longer recognize who we are or what we believed ourselves capable of. In the late twenty-fourth century, decades after the fall of the once-mighty Terran Empire, the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance dominates the worlds that, in another reality, made up the United Federation of Planets. Humanity and its former subject races are now bound together by their shared oppression, slaves to their cruel and brutal conquerors. But a downtrodden few have found the courage and the strength of will to act. Inspired by visitors from another continuum to fight for their freedom, they have rekindled hope . . . and rediscovered an ancient truth: that every revolution begins with a vision. Star Trek: VOYAGER ® A rebel ship commanded by a former slave named Chakotay attempts to evade pursuit in the Badlands . . . only to encounter a strange ship that was catapulted seventy thousand light-years across the galaxy. On board the craft are two aliens, one of whom has the potential to completely alter the balance of power within the Alliance. But as both sides of the struggle race to get to the stranger first, treachery throws all schemes into a tailspin. Star Trek: NEW FRONTIER ® Following the Terran Empire's collapse, its longtime rival, the Romulan Star Empire, has absorbed many of the fringe civilizations spread across that part of the galaxy. One of the Romulans' slaves is M'k'nzy of Calhoun, a savage and unpredictable Xenexian who dreams of death . . . and who learns the value of freedom from the unlikeliest of teachers, a Romulan named Soleta. Star Trek: DEEP SPACE NINE ® One fallen dictator's struggle to regain her power and her position leads to the discovery of a bold rebel plan for a decisive military strike against the Alliance. But while Kira Nerys navigates the dangerous road of politics, sex, and military intrigue that she believes will lead her back to reclaiming the Intendancy, cracks form in the rebel leadership, leading to a showdown that will change the course of the Mirror Universe.

Rise & Fall of the Obsidian Grotto

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 238
Book Description
Elves. Dwarves. Blood Oaths & Dragons. There are far worse things crawling upon Esfah than goblins... ...some, even swords and sorcery cannot defeat. A devious elder monster allies with the lava elves of the Obsidian Grotto. She promises to provide an elven general with arcane weapons to throw down their dwarven enemies, and also the support of a black magic wielding cult hidden within the Nhur-Gale Forest. General Shedakor assumes that any bargain with such a dark creature would extract a high cost... but can he afford to pay it? Meanwhile, on the far side of Esfah. An elven hero from the northern coasts embarks on a mission to protect his home from the goblins of Brackishomme swamp. But Davian Whisperwynd is prone to rash vows and the gods will not release the adventurer from a promise to lay down his sword: an oath that complicates things when he promises a beautiful enchanter that he will retrieve an item from the lair of the Death god himself. Neither knows it, but the gods of fate have interlinked their destinies. In the mid 1990s there was one fantasy RPG that ruled them all: D&D, of which Dragonlance, Forgotten Realms, and many other books and gaming worlds were a part of. It’s publisher, TSR, created another gaming world that won Game of the Year in 1995. That world was Esfah. In eons past, when time was young and creation malleable, the four powers of Nature — earth, air, fire, and water — the children of Nature, gods in their own rights, brought forth two races of beings to care for their fledgling world of Esfah, created by the all-father, Tarvenehl. One race, the Selumari or coral elves, was created to husband the fluid forces of air and water. The other race, the Vagha, a dwarvish race, embodied the stability of earth and the tempering power of fire. Together, these two peoples worked to nurture their infant world into something glorious and beautiful... but then another god revealed himself: Death...

This time the castle is the monster! Obsidian Ridge hasn't been seen in Faerun for hundreds of years.
