My name's Red. My friends call me Violet, but I was once known by another name, The Heartsong...aka the darkness of the land. Once upon a time, I was a killer, a hunter, with only one goal in mind. Ending the Big Bad Wolf and taking back my power. But somewhere along the way, I realized the real enemy was myself. We fell in love, we made a life. And then a curse came and ripped it all apart. Now my lover and best friend can't remember who I am, and most days I can't remember him either. The curse has shaped us back into the former versions of ourselves. The dark, evil, and worst parts of us. All I know is I need to kill. I need to hurt something, and the only thing I know to do is to hunt the biggest and baddest beast in all the lands. But something inside of me has begun to stir. Memories of another time, a different place. And a man I once loved more than reason or sanity should allow. I have to break this curse on me, on us, before its too late. But to do it I'll have to try and remember our once upon another time...

It's been three months since former enforcer Amaranthe Lokdon and the notorious assassin Sicarius thwarted kidnappers and saved the emperor's life. The problem? Nobody knows they were responsible for this good deed. Worse, they're being blamed for the entire scheme. With enforcers and bounty hunters stalking them, and the emperor nursing a personal hatred for Sicarius, it's going to be hard to earn exoneration.
When Amaranthe's team discovers mutilated bodies in the city aqueducts and a mysterious illness incapacitates thousands of citizens, she and Sicarius see an opportunity to solve the mystery and prove their loyalty. But they'll have to defeat vengeful shamans, man-eating predators, and deadly mechanical constructs, all while dodging imperial soldiers who would rather kill them than accept their help.
Nobody said exoneration would be easy. Views: 927

Serafina, Neela, Ling, Ava, Becca, and Astrid, six mermaids from realms scattered throughout the seas and freshwaters, were summoned by the leader of the river witches to learn an incredible truth: the mermaids are direct descendants of the Six Who Ruled—powerful mages who once governed the lost empire of Atlantis. The ancient evil that destroyed Atlantis is stirring again, and only the mermaids can defeat it. To do so, they need to find magical talismans that belonged to the Six.
Serafina believes her talisman was buried with an old shipwreck. While researching its location, she is almost discovered by a death rider patrol led by someone familiar. . . . The pain of seeing him turned traitor is devastating.
Neela travels to Matali to warn her parents of the grave threat facing their world. But they find her story outlandish; a sign that she needs to be confined to her chamber for rest and recovery. She escapes and travels to Kandina, where her talisman is in the possession of fearsome razormouth dragons.
As they hunt for their talismans, both Serafina and Neela find reserves of courage and cunning they didn't know they possessed. They face down danger and death, only to endure a game-changing betrayal, as shocking as a rogue wave. Views: 926
