Assassin. Seductress. Bastard.
Witch.

But an ancient god has reared his head, and the all-too-real riders of the mythical Wild Hunt are menacing the streets of Seattle. Caught in the middle of an age-old grudge, Joanne is forced to choose between accepting an unexpected magical heritage and facing this immortal enemy, or...dying.

11) Magic & Manners
It is a truth universally accepted that well-bred members of Society are not beleaguered with magic.
For Elsabeth Dover and her sisters, that truth means living in a perpetual state of caution, never using their sorcerous gifts in public. Elsabeth chafes under the stricture, but not enough to risk the possibility of good marriages for her sisters...until she meets handsome, arrogant Fitzgerald Archer.
Elsabeth, attracted to Archer's wit
12) Sunmaster
Rasim al Ilalio doesn't mean to cause trouble wherever he goes, but a year of disasters lies in his wake. A war is brewing, but returning home to his beloved city of Ilyara isn't an option—not until he's brought a friend home again, and has warned their people of the conspiracy he believes affects them all.
But in the distant Shenryalan steppelands, a new threat emerges: not just human scheming, but magical beasts that have
...13) Seamaster
Rasim is no stranger to bad luck. Orphaned at birth, he holds his place in the Seamasters' Guild by dint of quick thinking and sheer stubbornness. Possessed of little magic but a sharp mind, his greatest talent seems to be finding trouble—or perhaps escaping it just in time.
No one is more surprised than Rasim when he earns a place on the fleet's flagship, sent North for a daring mission. Storm, treachery, piracy, and outright
...A country ravaged by the hunger.
A woman dying for a chance to live.
A man who cannot quite leave well enough alone.
Saoirse O'Cathain should have died on the coffin ship that took her from famine-torn Ireland to the dubious safety of the Canadian coast, but an ancient immortal—a man who claims he doesn't care—saved her by Awakening the Timeless immortality she harbored within. Perhaps it was a gift: Saoirse might have all
...15) Kiss of Angels
REVEL IN THE CHAOS OF THE AFTERMATH
The laws that governed the Old Races for time immemorial have been broken. Ancient rivals are scattered. Friendships are ended. What was hidden begins to step out of shadow and into the light.

THE REDEEMER

Rosie is ready to roll with the demon-slaying power awakened inside her—if she can figure out how to make it work on command.
THE HUNTER
Crippled
Benedict Fairburn does not quite need his ailing great-aunt's fortune, especially since he'll have to marry to get it. His family, however, thinks otherwise—as do many of the eligible ladies in London—and the pressure is mounting. An embarrassment of attentions fill Benny's time, but the young lady he prefers roundly dislikes him.
Claire Dalton, cousin to one of Benedict's oldest friends, is too busy debuting in Society
...18) Banshee Cries
The last thing reluctant shaman Joanne Walker wants is to be assigned to a case of ritual murders. It'd be creepy enough all on its own, but her boss, already trusting her magic more than Jo does herself, suspects there's more to it than just a serial killer. As Joanne is pulled more deeply into the bloody mire, she begins to realize this is a murderer with a deadline—the changing winter moon seems to be key to the power they're building.
But
19) Stonemaster
It's good luck to earn the king's regard...isn't it?
Seamaster journeyman Rasim's quick wits have helped to save his beloved home city and earned him the dubious honor of studying with the diplomatic Sunmasters. But not everyone is happy that magical knowledge is being shared, and when the king orders the guilds back to the Northlands on a sensitive political mission, it may well cost Rasim his life.
Seamaster-born, Sunmaster-trained, Rasim
