Book Description
The full series bundle of The Shattered Realm is finally here! One purchase for Oskar Soderberg's full debut series. Dangerous things are stirring in dark corners and caravans are found attacked by strangers not quite human. Will the realm withstand the attention of forces beyond their understanding? Will the world that once slayed their own gods be ready for what comes next? A young man defies all known logic of the world’s system of magic. Is Sarien really broken, or is he the burning ember that is about to set the kingdom ablaze? The Broken Pyromancer Sarien yearns for a life of adventure, like his father’s. Instead, he’s stuck mucking out stables so the nobles don’t accidentally get dirt on their polished boots. His chance finally presents itself when a whole village’s worth of people suddenly disappears. The noble house’s oldest son needs extra men to hunt for whoever, or whatever, is responsible. Under cover of darkness, a ferocious beast attacks the group. In moments, they’re all on the ground, wounded and helpless. In a moment of desperation, Sarien discovers a swelling spark inside him. A flame dances in the palm of his hand, the flame of a pyromancer! Only, this one is stark white and cold, rather than burning hot. That’s wrong, all wrong. All pyromancers in Eldsprak are under the authority of The Burning Tower of Firemagi, even the broken ones. Sarien is finally getting the adventure he’s craved for so long, but will he burn strong, or smolder away? With otherworldly threats spilling into their world from somewhere beyond, Sarien and his newfound friends could be all that stands between this new threat and complete annihilation. If he doesn’t come into his strange and broken powers, everything might be lost. For fans of fantasy adventures, this book is a must-read! Join Sarien and his friends as they embark on a journey that will test their courage, strength, and loyalty. With high stakes, epic battles, and a dash of magic, this is a story you won't want to miss. Gathering Darkness Sarien and his friends pushed back against the Rhinn invaders in Tyralien, but that was just the first step. When Sarien finds himself stranded in a world without magic, he knows he must find a way back to his own world before it's too late. Maydian is under attack by invaders and horrific monsters both, and its fate might rest on Sarien's ability to return and stop them. Meanwhile, Goslin returns to his kingdom, Eldsprak, to find it under siege, teetering on the brink of destruction. Emeryn must navigate the deserted Kinship of Jordfaste and uncover the truth about her god's survival and the Kin's plans. Lana, a reluctant leader, returns home to rally the Loftians and discover her own strength. And Kax, afflicted by the dark void spreading across his body, is still Kax. Gatekeeper As the god Wyndemir's assault grinds to a temporary halt, Sarien must embark on a quest to find his enigmatic, long-lost mother—Anja, one of the legendary heroes and a formidable Gatekeeper. Can she unlock the secrets of Sarien's burgeoning gray flame, and pave the way to vanquishing the monstrous invaders plaguing Maydian? Meanwhile, the fallen and imprisoned deities of Maydian might be the key in this worlds-spanning web of intrigue, but their roles are shrouded in mystery. It falls upon Tomford, aided by Emeryn, to seek out the one god who still stands—Taera, the goddess of earth—and bring an end to her ominous reign. In the impending battle, they'll require every ounce of assistance they can muster. Yet, as the wayfaring paths between worlds spiral into chaos, these new heroes remain oblivious to the dire situation beyond their realm's borders. The very fabric of existence teeters on the brink of collapse, worlds rending themselves asunder. Unless someone intervenes, all could be lost. Is our broken pyromancer equal to the daunting task that lies ahead?

The Shattered Past Series 3-Book Bundle
Author: Cecy Robson
Publisher: Loveswept
ISBN: 1101968176
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 883
Book Description
Hailed as “sexy and heartbreaking” by Monica Murphy and “pure reading bliss” by Sawyer Bennett, Cecy Robson’s Shattered Past series has everything: blistering passion, college-age angst, and mouth-watering MMA studs. And it all revolves around one irresistible family with a troubled history. Now all three novels—Once Perfect, Once Loved, and Once Pure—are together in one steamy eBook bundle. ONCE PERFECT Struggling to pay her college tuition in the wake of tragedy, Evelyn Preston is waitressing at a nightclub where she has more in common with the preppy clientele than her new co-workers. Still, she can’t deny her attraction to the sexy six-foot-four bouncer and ex-army MMA fighter Mateo Tres Santos. Mateo wound up in prison for assaulting the man who harmed his sister. Now he’s feeling the same protective impulse for Evelyn. And he’s determined to find out what nightmares are lurking in Evelyn’s past—even if that means tackling his own to save her. ONCE LOVED Every memory Lety Tres Santos has from her childhood comes with a scar. College offers a fresh start . . . until her father finds a way to ruin that, too. Now, after losing her scholarship, Lety is determined to stay in school, and she intends to do it without any help from Brody Quaid: lacrosse star, 4.0 student—and Lety’s ex-boyfriend. Their relationship crashed and burned because Brody couldn’t break through her walls, but with Lety hurting more than ever, he’s desperate to win her back. And that will mean trusting someone more than he’s ever dared. ONCE PURE Sofia Tres Santos remembers a time before her innocence was ripped away, before she began punishing herself with risky behavior and unworthy men. Now, at twenty, she’s ready to rebuild, and she keeps coming back to her childhood friend and longtime crush, Killian O’Brien. When she agrees to work at his gym, Killian seizes the opportunity to train her in his hard-hitting MMA techniques. But as Sofia grows stronger, she challenges everything he believes, showing him that no matter how much he dominates in the ring, the real battle is fought in the heart. Praise for Cecy Robson’s Shattered Past series “Once Perfect is exactly that: perfect for fans of sweetly sexy New Adult with a to-die-for protective hero.”—New York Times bestselling author Marquita Valentine “Sweet and sexy, a perfect combination . . . Cecy Robson delivers pure reading bliss.”—USA Today bestselling author Sawyer Bennett, on Once Perfect “Brody made it his mission to be Lety’s rock. . . . Cecy Robson created a perfect book boyfriend in Brody Quaid, and many will enjoy his patience, sexiness, and unconditional love for Lety.”—Heroes and Heartbreakers, on Once Loved “With its skillfully developed characters and scorching sexual tension, Once Loved is a gorgeous second-chance love story you won’t want to put down.”—USA Today bestselling author Lauren Layne “The sexual tension between Sofia and Killian is super steamy; the passion builds with every page.”—RT Book Reviews, on Once Pure “Sexy and heartbreaking, Once Pure is an excellent, emotional read.”—New York Times bestselling author Monica Murphy

Book Description
"If there were stars for world-building, Irenicon would be a five plus, no question" --SFX "The book is a fountain of gorgeous detail, festooned with enriching codices and enlightening, subtly subsumed exposition" --Sci-Fi Now The river Irenicon is a feat of ancient Concordian engineering. Blasted through the middle of Rasenna in 1347, using Wave technology, it divided the only city strong enough to defeat the Concordian Empire. But no one could have predicted the river would become sentient--and hostile. Sofia Scaligeri, the soon-to-be Contessa of Rasenna, has inherited a city tearing itself apart from the inside. And try as she might, she can see no way of stopping the culture of vendetta that has the city in its grasp. Until a Concordian engineer arrives to build a bridge over the Irenicon, clarifying everything: the feuding factions of Rasenna can either continue to fight each other or they can unite against their shared enemy. And they will surely need to stand together--for Concord is about to unleash the Wave again.
