Primary Books included in every bundle purchase:
Blade & Rose by Miranda Honfleur – A perfect blend of fantastic action, menacing intrigue and riveting romance.
Curator’s notes: Miranda Honfleur’s Blade & Rose’s begins with a mismatch romance and blossoms into an adventure that is nothing short of epic. Rielle earns the title of kickass Heroine over and over again despite her flaws.
Amaskan’s Blood by Raven Oak – Two sisters. Two loyalties. One path together.
Curator’s note: A fantasy adventure with a sharp edge. I hope you find Adelei and Ida as compelling lead characters as I did. There’s so much going on, don’t try to skim this book. Read it and savor it like a well-aged single malt Scotch.
Genrenauts, Complete Season One by Michael R. Underwood – A kickass extra-dimensional adventure through the stories we love.
Curator’s note: Genrenauts is a tough book to classify. Its heroes don’t simply exist within a story, they travel into series! Trouble is they have to edit them from the inside while dodging bullets figurative (romance world) or real (hello scifi world). Strap in for a meta adventure to save the Tropes!
The Twenty-Sided Sorceress, Books 1-3 by Annie Bellet – Gamer. Nerd. Sorceress. After twenty-five years fleeing from a powerful sorcerer, a mostly-human woman is finally safe – if she can resist using her magic. Or can she?
Curator’s note: A fantastic deal, the first three books in Annie Bellet’s wildly popular, bestselling Twenty-Sided Sorceress urban fantasy series, this omnibus includes Justice Calling, Murder of Crows, and Pack of Lies. With a deft and original interweaving of role-playing games and magic, this series has delighted and captivated readers.
Ashwin by Kit Rocha – Can a genetically manipulated soldier be a hero? A healer finds a way to love a man without feelings—and fight for brightness in a dark world.
Curator’s note: Kicking off a new phase in the epic and much-loved post-apocalyptic urban fantasy cycle by Kit Rocha, Ashwin introduces the people of Sector One, and the ragtag collection of misfits seeking shelter there—and absolution following terrible deeds. With a brotherhood of guardian warriors, priestesses and healers, this story takes readers on a blood-stirring ride for redemption.
Bonus Books included with an additional contribution:
The Arrows of the Heart by Jeffe Kennedy – What do you do when your boyfriend is an animal? Really. An animal.
Curator’s note: This is a beautifully crafted tale of love and sacrifice. The poignant duet between magic and mundane echoes from the first page to the last. I’m not a fan of shifter romance, but this lush fantasy goes so far beyond werewolves that I’ll be watching for the sequel.
The Dragon Blood Chronicles by Lindsay Buroker – A dashing Pilot, a comely Sorcerous and smart mouthed Soulsword all come together in a world intent on killing them.
Curator’s note: A delightfully entertaining tale drawing together the worlds of magic and steampunk into a romantic adventure. The characters pull you into their story and help you lose yourself, as you imagine watching them triumph over adversity, finding love along the way.
Radiance by Grace Draven – A marriage between alien kingdoms – and two “spares” who find beauty in each other, and that heroism comes in many forms.
Curator’s note: Grace Draven’s brilliant, bestselling opening to the Wraith Kings fantasy romance series has dazzled readers with its tale of a human woman married to a Kai warrior. She learns to find a way past his razor sharp teeth and fearsome claws and together they forge an alliance that provides a guiding light for both their peoples.
The Raven and the Reindeer by Ursula Vernon – A enthralling remix of a classic fairy tale, with a practical heroine who follows her heart to a very different ending.
Curator’s note: Ursula Vernon’s writing under her adult penname T. Kingfisher continues to prove why she is among my favorite authors with the Raven and the Reindeer. This retelling of the classic Snow Queen fairy tale is equal parts humor and pathos with character that are sheer delight.
Catching Echoes by Meghan Ciana Doidge – What could go wrong when a no-nonsense witch with family issues is forced to work alongside a powerful and obnoxious vampire to solve a murder?
Curator’s note: Meghan Ciana Doidge deftly manages to create a world with depth and color that clearly shows the stories going on just out of sight, just like the real world. This book is easily one of the most captivating urban fantasy novels I’ve read in years.
Al-Kabar by Lee French – A young woman is chosen by powerful supernatural forces to bring justice to a desert land of oasis kingdoms.
Curator’s note: Lee French’s Al-Kabar is a rollicking adventure fantasy set in a richly imagined world inspired by medieval Arabia. Fakhira must like the phoenix rise from the ashes of her village and learn to harness the powers bequeathed to her by the mysterious Waters. Action and romance in a unique desert setting!
The Glass Gargoyle by Marie Andreas – A spate of dead patrons forces archeologist Taryn St. Giles to become a bounty hunter. Needless to say, things don’t go well.
Curator’s note: Marie Andreas writes a raucous and exciting world that grabs you by the shirt and drags you into the bar brawl the protagonist’s life has become. This book and the characters in it don’t let up, so hang on.
