Book Description
Bestselling author of The Mongrel Mage, L. E. Modesitt, Jr's Quantum Shadows blends science fiction, myth, and legend in an adventure that pits old gods and new against one another in a far future world. On a world called Heaven, the ten major religions of mankind each have its own land governed by a capital city and ruled by a Hegemon. That Hegemon may be a god, or a prophet of a god. Smaller religions have their own towns or villages of belief. Corvyn, known as the Shadow of the Raven, contains the collective memory of humanity’s Falls from Grace. With this knowledge comes enormous power. When unknown power burns a mysterious black image into the holy place of each House of the Decalivre, Corvyn must discover what entity could possibly have that much power. The stakes are nothing less than another Fall, and if he doesn't stop it, mankind will not rise from the ashes. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Book Description
Eighteen years have passed since Rachel Bayer, on her way to South Africa in 1987, fell in love with Sayer Riis and his earnest search for the origin of the soul. She is 38, married, has two children, and teaches a course called Perspectives at an alternative school in Santa Barbara, so why does she feel so compelled, when his brother Thatcher calls, to fly halfway around the world to attend Sayer's funeral? Thatcher shows her a drawerful of three-by-five notebooks, which she discovers are letters to her, records of Sayer's travels: to a monumental rock in the American Southwest, where he finds a symbol he carved in a past life; to a Tijuana cancer clinic, where he meets a man who deepens his understanding of death, disease, and healing as choices of the soul; to Guatemala, where he is invited to expect the impossible, and, drawn through dimensions by an angelic little girl, sees Rachel in the life she chose for herself when she returned from the Peace Corps. In the last dated notebook, Sayer is told by an old San, "This bone look for you." He is hurtled through a window in time to discover Rachel's long buried secret. The same bone, which was given to her in Botswana at the birth of her daughter Sara, is handed to Rachel by a mysterious little man after Sayer's funeral. Rachel finally reveals her secret to Sayer's brother. Another notebook is found in the car in which Sayer died. In it, he has concluded that death is no victor in disguise, but only an imagined boundary between the infinite number of realities in the ever-unfolding Mystery of the All. The success of his life's search reveals itself to Rachel as she finds immediate responses to her questions with each turning of the page. Rachel and her daughter visit the monument where Sayer carved the Mayan symbol for unseen forces. While Rachel finds a cave and experiences a cosmic breakthrough into the vastness of infinity and eternity, Sara, climbing the Rock, loses her footing and is rescued by a stranger. Fourteen years later, Mira Lucci, watching her five-year-old grandson Max heal her neighbor, suspects that he is one of the souls who have come to assist humanity to awaken to its natural powers. Max mentions finding a bone in Botswana, which means nothing to Mira, but something else he says reminds her of the clinic in Tijuana, where she and her dying father met a young man whose name she never learned. Max speaks with birds, exercises telekinesis, and, surveying a family re-union from his perch on the back of the couch, seems to be the only one who understands the connections among all the members of his family.

Book Description
I want to catch these fae criminals almost as much as I want to breathe. It's all I can think about... even as my father parades me around like a stuffed duck on Faedom Day, forcing me to portray the perfect princess, all while giving me his classic side-eye of disappointment. He doesn't even notice the flowers around us are wilting just as fast as my mood, tied to my emotions as they are. I won't have to fake this smile for much longer, though. Soon, when the party is over, my dear old dad will be back to traveling the countryside with his latest conquest, and I'll get back to my true calling: Bounty hunting all the criminal fae that seek to bring my kingdom to its knees. My latest set of bounties may be proving more difficult to hunt down than usual, but I'll get them. I always do. At least that's what I think before they bypass my carefully laid trap and catch me in theirs instead. Now I'm being led through parts of my kingdom I was told never to step foot in, kidnapped by a group of fae that isn't scared of me, my reputation, or my clout. These fae are well-built and burly, cocky, and mean. They're out for blood, and really don't care if it's a princess's that gets spilled. In fact, I think they might enjoy it. They're utterly shameless. AUTHOR'S NOTE AND TRIGGER WARNING SHAMELESS FAE is book one in a fantasy reverse harem romance series, so there will be a cliffhanger. It also has drug references, foul language, violence, sexual situations, and content which could be triggering for some people. It is only intended for readers 18 years and older.

Book Description
“A bizarre yet effective yoking of the spy and horror genres.” —The Washington Post Book World The Lovecraftian Singularity has descended upon the world in The Labyrinth Index, beginning an exciting new story arc in Charles Stross' Hugo Award-winning Laundry Files series! Since she was promoted to the head of the Lords Select Committee on Sanguinary Affairs, every workday for Mhari Murphy has been a nightmare. It doesn’t help that her boss, the new Prime Minister of Britain, is a manipulative and deceptive pain in the butt. But what else can she expect when working under the thumb of none other than the elder god N’yar Lat-Hotep a.k.a the Creeping Chaos? Mhari's most recent assignment takes her and a ragtag team of former Laundry agents across the pond into the depths of North America. The United States president has gone missing. Not that Americans are alarmed. For some mysterious reason, most of the country has forgotten the executive branch even exists. Perhaps it has to do with the Nazgûl currently occupying the government and attempting to summon Cthulhu. It's now up to Mhari and her team to race against the Nazgûl's vampire-manned dragnet to find and, for his own protection, kidnap the president. Who knew an egomaniacal, malevolent deity would have a soft spot for international relations?
