The Emperor's Sword: Another Kingdom Book 3 (Another Kingdom, 3)

Austin Lively’s life is going right for once. When his new script, Another Kingdom, is unexpectedly purchased by a top producer at an enormous price, his movie career and wildest dreams seem to be taking off. His only problems? A recurring vision of a magical landscape he can’t quite remember, and a giant mouse with a woman’s face who seems to be following him. 
When his beloved Jane Janeway is accused of murder and imprisoned, Austin realizes this dream life is really a nightmare, and his only hope to save his soul and rescue Jane is to give up his success, return to the Eleven Lands, and find Emperor Anastasius so he can restore Queen Elinda to her throne. It’s a task easier said than done, especially when he discovers the emperor is dead. With a crazed hitman on his trail in Los Angeles and new dangers lurking around every corner in the Eleven Lands, time and luck are running out. As his enemies begin closing in on all sides, Austin must enter the biggest fight of his life to follow the emperor to hell itself and face the most shocking revelation of all.

Kaufman, Kathleen

Ceit Robertson, age ten, is the next Matrarc to the Society, a cultish, matriarchal group living in an inconspicuous cul-de-sac in Venice Beach. When Ceit’s mother is attacked by spirits from the old world, a failed exorcism results in Ceit’s exile into the foster care system in Los Angeles. She eventually lands in the infamous MacLaren Hall, a very real and historically auspicious center for disturbed and abandoned children in El Monte, CA. Diabhal is the sympathetic story of the devil in Los Angeles. The exploration of the true nature of evil and how intention colors what our definition of wickedness truly is. Ceit grows into a force of nature, as she contains the potential and mythology of the darkest degree, but discovers that perhaps the devil is not what we should truly fear.

Sinder: Diabhal Book 2 (Diabhal, 2)

Sinder weaves together the parallel stories of Ceit, grown to adulthood and having taken her rightful place as Matrarc of the Society, and her great-grandmother, Ainsley Robertson in 1924 Ireland, and the inception of the community that would come to inhabit Sinder Avenue. In 1996, Venice Beach, Ceit struggles with the confines of superstition and tradition that have defined the Society since its start. As her younger brother, Alan, turns eighteen, Ceit enacts a plan to end the Society for good. And in doing so, releasing Alan from what she sees increasingly as a toxic and antiquated way of life as well as freeing herself from her mortal ties to the human realm. In 1924, Ainsley Robertson lives in a secluded community outside of Cork, led by her father, an abusive and cruel ceannaire. Ainsley's story opens with her expecting a baby in a world where being an unwed mother is a criminal act. Ainsley grows to realize her own gifts and connection to the world of the fae as she navigates a world dominated by dogma and oppression. As the sparks of what will become the Society grow to a flame, Ainsley becomes the Matrarc of her people, leading them to a new world, and a new tradition.

200 (200, 1)

"200 is a wild, sexy, twisted, and darkly entertaining trip into the future and deep into the human psyche. Writer Jennifer Brody and artist Jules Rivera make a kickass team. Highly recommended!" --Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of V-Wars and Black Panther: Doomwar It's Eva Thorne's 200th birthday. But it's not a celebration, more like a funeral.

But if they fail, they must be euthanized. Eva's not an optimist. She's pretty sure she's going to fail her Centurial Assessment Test. For starters, almost nobody passes anymore.

Ever since the Escorts took her husband Owen away for his test and he never came back, she's been chainsmoking cigarettes (they can't kill her after all), binge drinking, and waiting for the Escorts to get it over with already. Who wants to live forever if you have to do it alone? Here's the truth&#8213;Owen was her husband for over 170 years. He was her soulmate. Her lover. Her goofball best friend. Her partner in crime.
