Book Description
The rules about undead employees in food service are not super strict. That's because it hasn't really come up before, and the staff at the Pale Garden Teashop hope to keep it that way. Nika is a young and misplaced necromancer in training - as gifted in under magic as he is incapable in a social setting - and the newest member of the shop owner's mismatched little family. Before being found and brought to the strange city of Eldes, he was forbidden from practicing any kind of magic at all, especially necromancy. He's still adjusting to life surrounded by new adopted siblings with similar gifts and a million new things to learn to survive. Nika is adjusting to a life surrounded by encouragement, to a life that includes a sphinx-run library and teachers with hidden identities, to a life where a pushy insect fanatic can drag him off for an afternoon and his new family would barely bat an eye. Karao, who had found him and invited him into her home, has changed his life for the better, but what sort of person adopts necromancers off the side of the road - and what could they want? And why does she have that many skeleton arms?

Book Description
A necromancer and a vampire walk into a cemetery...and if you're wondering how this joke ends, that makes two of us.I'm Seraphina Mason, Buffalo's only resident necromancer. While other people are on normal sleep schedules doing regular human things, I spend my nights conjuring spirits, resurrecting the dead, and sometimes a bit of poltergeist removal, if you need it. But I'm not even the most dangerous nocturnal creature lurking around the cemeteries. That's where vampire Nathaniel Caligari waltzes in-all devastating eternal beauty and brooding charm, ready to ruin my life. He'd rather have a wooden stake shoved through his chest than ask for my help, yet here we are. Turns out the bloodsucker has something of a heart after all because he's desperate, fearing his missing son is dead. Neither of us are excited about this, but I could really use the paycheck. So, we're just going to have to set aside our petty insults and work together before this city buries his kid. If we don't kill each other first. KISS ME DEADLY is the first book in an enemies to lovers paranormal romance trilogy perfect for fans of Kelly St. Clare, Linsey Hall, C.N. Crawford, K.M. Shea, and Helen Harper.

Book Description
The wind of the North whispers a name, and all who hear it are frozen in fear. It is the name of the Necromancer. And it means death... In the South, Linaera dreams of becoming a healer. A novice at the Academy of Magic, she skips most of her battle magic classes (because who needs battle magic anyway?) When her mentor, Terrin, decides to send her on a quest to the icy North, Linaera will have to learn far more than a simple fire spell to survive the ravenous undead. Even so, greater dangers lie in wait. There is a dark secret hiding in the depths of the North; a secret that will make her stronger—or destroy her. Magic and adventure beckon in the world of Arachadia. There’s dark humour for the cynics, and a sweet love story for the romantics. If you like stories about mages, bad-tempered ghosts, dragons, elves and thief guilds—you’ve come to the right place.

Book Description
All that stands between modern Baltimore and the monsters is the black sheep of the Templar Order in this three book set. Famine’s Feast – Book 4 An epidemic is overloading Baltimore hospitals, and this time the vampires are finding themselves susceptible. As the Baltimore’s Templar, Aria must find out who – or what – is responsible and stop them, before the entire city is at death’s door, all while prepping for the Halloween ritual to rid herself of a demon’s mark on both her skin and her soul. Royal Blood – Book 5 Winter weather can spell death for the homeless, but the bodies found on Baltimore’s streets aren’t homeless and they didn’t die from the cold. Aria will need to use both her sword and her magic to catch a killer before the Order blames the vampires and decides to kill them all and let God sort them out. Dark Crossroads – Book 6 After three months of silence, Reynard shows up at Aria's door asking for her help in ousting a new mage who wants control of Haul Du. She sees no reason to help a man who was more than willing to toss her soul to a demon, but with the threat of an unknown enemy looming Aria needs all the friends she can get—and that might mean aligning herself with those who are more foe than friend.

Book Description
As the witch-pyres of the Spanish Inquisition blanket Renaissance Europe in a moral haze, a young African slave finds herself the unwilling apprentice of an ancient necromancer. Unfortunately, quitting his company proves even more hazardous than remaining his pupil when she is afflicted with a terrible curse. Yet salvation may lie in a mysterious tome her tutor has hidden somewhere on the war-torn continent. She sets out on a seemingly impossible journey to find the book, never suspecting her fate is tied to three strangers: the artist Niklaus Manuel Deutsch, the alchemist Dr Paracelsus and a gun-slinging Dutch mercenary. As Manuel paints her macabre story on canvas, plank and church wall, the apprentice becomes increasingly aware of the great dangers that surround her. She realises she must revisit the fell necromancy of her childhood - or death will be the least of her concerns.

She's hung up her bow, saddled her mule, and headed for home. But children are disappearing from the peaceful village of Raven Crossing. Her search for the children brings her face to face with vicious kidnappers, goblin armies, and mercenary dwarves. A war is brewing, and not just any war. It's a war where the dead don't stay fallen. Hurt, exhausted, and sick of fighting, Tira will have to take up her bow once again. Somewhere there is a dark wizard manipulating the living and controlling the dead. Tira is saving an arrow just for him. He plans to rule the world, but he hasn't planned on Tira Archer. GIRL IN THE SHADOWS Tira is after a necromancer who uses the dead as puppets in her mad schemes. She gets sidetracked BY Su, who's on the run from nasty bounty hunters, Alerak, who thinks Su is a murderer, and Roth, assassin turned priest, who's hunting the real killer. Tira senses the hand of the necromancer behind it all. Now she has to rescue Su from the gallows, pluck Roth from the clutches of pirates, keep Alerak from a deadly trap, and lead them all in an assault on a fortress. Tira's going to bring down a necromancer, and may the gods help anyone who gets in her way! THE GOBLIN KING When a dead king rises to reclaim his throne, Tira Archer and her companions see the hand of a dark sorceress behind it. They've sworn to finish the necromancer who's brought so much murder and destruction into their lives, but it won't be easy. They'll face assassins, a charming rogue with a hidden agenda, and an army of idealistic rebels who've sworn loyalty to a king ten years dead. Now they must ride into a goblin-infested wilderness and battle renegades and mercenaries to reach a mad sorceress and try to stop her before she can plunge an entire kingdom into war. They will pay a terrible price, but one way or another, the sorceress WILL be stopped. keywords: sword and sorcery, high fantasy, epic fantasy, war, goblins, dwarves, elves, assassin, archer, sorceress, wizard, witch, battle, castle, swords, adventure
