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

Book Description
He’s a human in a vampire’s world, but she’s the reason he’s not sleeping at night. For the first time ever, all three origin novellas in the Elemental Legacy series are available in one volume, along with a bonus novella, The Bronze Blade. In Shadows and Gold, driving a truck full of rotting vegetables and twenty million in gold across mainland China wasn’t what Ben Vecchio had in mind for summer vacation. If he can keep Tenzin’s treasure safe, the reward will be worth the effort. But when has travel with a five-thousand-year-old wind vampire ever been simple? In Imitation and Alchemy, all Ben wanted was a quiet summer before his last semester of university. All Tenzin wanted was a cache of priceless medieval coins that had been missing for several hundred years. And some company. In Omens and Artifacts, Ben needs a job. A legendary job. Finding the lost sword of Brennus the Celt would make his reputation in the vampire world, but it could also draw dangerous attention. The Raven King’s gold isn’t famous for being easy to find. Luckily, Ben has his own legend at his side. OBSIDIAN’S EDGE is an anthology of previously published novellas in the Elemental Legacy series by Elizabeth Hunter, USA Today Bestselling Author of Midnight Labyrinth, Blood Apprentice, and other works of fiction.

Languages : en
Pages : 207
Book Description
A collection of short stories that are “at once laugh-out-loud funny and utterly serious” (Claire Messud, author of The Burning Girl). “McGraw ably leavens heartbreak with humor . . . she renders quirky, refreshingly real characters—a mediocre ballet dancer who takes in a more successful dancer’s daughter; an insecure self-help author who’s thrown for a loop by a visit to her parents; a disillusioned bed-and-breakfast owner who flirts with moving to Aruba; Catholic priests who have trouble living up to their vows—on the verge of improving their lot in life. The happiness they catch glimpses of, though, frequently eludes their grasp . . . McGraw’s pitch-perfect dialogue and artful closeups on the telling, trying details of ordinary lives deliver stories that are easy to read but hard to forget.” —Publishers Weekly “I love these stories about nice normal people trying—and failing—to cling to their fondest delusions.” —Molly Giles, author of All the Wrong Places
