I'm in a bit of a jam. The basics? I have about 100 magic users chasing me, three people depending on me to help them out, and some super weird markings on my arms. They say this city is full of deception, that it will eat an honest man alive. Good thing I'm no honest man. I'm just a street-wise kid with a very serious dragon, and she'll get me out of any trouble I fall into. Right, Saboraak?

Can Seleska keep her new friend safe long enough for him to save the world?

Can Allie find a way to save her people while fleeing the Wild Hunt and fighting against a magic that seeks to control her?

Allie had an army, allies, and a plan, but with all of those things slipping through here fingers she is being driven further and further toward a path she hadn't planned to take and a choice she didn't want to make.

For Marielle, all that matters is serving justice to protect her city. But when Tamerlan stumbles upon an ancient magic that calls the Legends forth, and Marielle scents what he’s done and starts her pursuit, they begin a chain of events that can’t be stopped.

But even if she can make that choice, accomplishing it might be tougher than she ever imagined as she finds herself outnumbered, surrounded by enemies, her magic depleted and the Forbiddign intent on sifting her.

A bewildering feature of so much contemporary political violence is its stunning impersonality. Every major city center becomes a potential shooting gallery; and every metro system a potential bomb alley. Victims just happen, as the saying goes, to "be in the wrong place at the wrong time". We accept this contemporary reality - at least to some degree. But we rarely ask: where has it come from historically? Killing Strangers examines how such violence became "unchained" from interpersonal relationships.

Trapped in a cave with Ifrits beating down the front door, a traitor in their midst and 100 innocent refugees to protect, Amel and Raolcan seem to have no options left.

Fans of Anne McCaffrey’s Dragon Riders of Pern and Christopher Paolini’s Eragon will love Dragon School.
