  John Taylor is the name. I work the Nightside. Only in that dark heart of London where it's always three A.M., where human and inhuman can feed their darkest desires, do I feel at home. Probably because I was born there. 
   
   
              
  What I do is find things—people, objects—and in this case, the truth about the origins of the Nightside. 
   
   
              
  That's what Lady Luck has hired me to investigate. But the more I dig, the more I discover, not about the Nightside but about the great question in my life: exactly who—and what—was my long-vanished mother. 
   
   
              
  Paying jobs are one thing. Personal quests are another. And I've been warned that uncovering the facts about dear old mum could be a very bad thing, not just for the Nightside but for all of existence. 
   
   
              
  Still I can't stop . . . I'm John Taylor. Finding things is who I am. It's what I do. Whatever the consequences . . .

  An epic fantasy buddy flick/bromance with a dark edge as well as humor, the Assassins of Landria series veers into horror, action, family, angst, comedy, and the occult. Think Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid recast as medieval assassins.

  The resistance movement against the Witch King has suffered heavy losses and seems to be on the brink of defeat. Ridge and Rett manage to score some victories, restoring the resistance’s faith in their ability to succeed. Ridge and Rett hide the heir at Rune Keep and lead an insurgence  
  against the traditional armies of the Witch Lord’s loyalists, inflicting heavy losses. The heir is nearly taken from him through treachery in Rune Keep, and he’s still not fully onboard until Ridge and Rett rescue him and he sees first-hand what the Witch King’s followers are doing. 
   
  The task is simple: Kill the Witch Lord, defeat his loyalists, put the bastard son on the throne, reclaim their honor.

  Perfect for fans of Ava Reid and Lucy Holland, this is a page-turning dark fantasy of persecuted witches, snatched children, twisted magic, changelings and the sins that bind. 
   
  Set in the multi-award-winning author's acclaimed Sourdough universe, this standalone story sits alongside previous novels, including All the Murmuring Bones and The Briar Book of the Dead. 
   
  Deep in the forest lives Mehrab the witch, coping with loneliness in her own strange ways and quietly battling her demons. One evening, a young woman appears on her doorstep seeking shelter, pursued by godhounds who wish to destroy all those practising magic, and Mehrab’s solitary existence is disrupted as she teaches the girl how to control her powers. Together they forge a cure for their isolation with heartbreaking consequences... 
   
  Meanwhile, in the local village, children begin to disappear, sometimes returning forever changed – or not returning at all. Sinister offerings appear on Mehrab's doorstep, and a dark power pursues her through the trees. As the villagers turn hostile and the godhounds close in, Mehrab finds herself at the centre of a struggle to save the soul of the forest, the life of an old love – and her own new-formed family. 
   
  Set in Slatter's bewitching gothic Sourdough universe, this is a haunting, gripping tale written with wit and heart. A book to both savour and devour.

  When Marty and her brother, Ben, relocate with their family from Los Angeles to a small town in Nebraska, the transition isn't easy. Because they are in high school, their mother believes sending them away for a week to camp might help them make friends.

  On foot, they begin the long journey that will take them across the ash strewn countryside flooded with desperate survivors and dangerous conditions. 
   
   
   
  With temperatures plummeting and another eruption looming, can they make it to safety in time? If, of course, a safe place even exists.
