Summary

Having escaped her abductors’ clutches and dealt with the bishop’s aide, Lam can finally resume working on her goal: divorcing her husband Char and regaining her freedom... Or at least that’s what she would be doing, if she hadn’t started to genuinely like the Mercures. Since taking charge of the schoolhouse, Lam finds herself enjoying this new life, and with her new family making so much progress, it feels wrong to leave now. Thus, she decides to put her desire for independence on the back burner and focuses on helping her family develop their magical abilities. Just as things seem to be going smoothly, Lam receives a sudden summons from the king. Apparently, the first prince of the Lèvres Kingdom—Tête Kingdom’s neighbor—has requested Lam visit his country for a diplomatic mission! Confused but without much choice, Lam sets off with Char to the foreign court. But what awaits the pair on their journey? And why is this prince so determined to meet her?

    Who are we, really, underneath the masks we choose to wear? 
    Alex Kincaid is twenty-four years old and leads a quiet life in a small town. She works at Galen Industries and spends most of her time with her co-workers. Her friends, like Emma Bastian, want to meddle in Alex’s love life. That’s what friends do, right? 
    Alex is preoccupied with the odd letter she’s received. It grants her a large inheritance from a stranger. Among the effects is a magical mask that will change Alex’s life forever. After an attempt on her life, Alex is horrified to see the mask take the shape of her face. It’s endowed with the powers of the ancient sky deity Horus, the protector of order. 
    Alex is now in danger from Set, the god of storms and chaos. Set has vowed to take revenge against Horus for killing his lover. Since the mask fuses the personalities of its previous owners, Alex’s own identity is in danger of being lost forever. As she and her friends attempt to solve the mystery, the stakes keep rising. Set is hot on Alex’s trail, and he won’t stop. Alex discovers feelings for her co-worker Gabriel Reyes. Alex must carefully thread the needle of destiny and fulfillment. 
    The Secrets of the Kings is a story about who we really are. Nora Delzelle weaves a tale of ancient love and modern society into compelling fantasy. As the mystery is revealed, one thing soon becomes clear: no mask can hide the truth. 
    "...seamlessly blends ancient Egyptian mythology with a modern setting along with plenty of action and thrills... The story moves along briskly, and some great action sequences punctuate the tension... 
    Overall, The Secrets of the Kings is the very definition of a page-turner, and readers should not miss its memorable cast, compelling mysteries, and thrilling revelations."

    Somebody thought it would be a great idea to send us to the Troll Court. 
    Because somebody imagined I might be the perfect person to help with a certain wild and crazy plan of Their Majesties' concoction. 
    They want to restore the lost city of Farringale. 
    I can only say that I heartily approve. 
    There is the tiny problem of how, of course; but who better to dig up the truth than the Society’s most colourful agents? 
    Off questing we go, armed with a long list of questions, two winning smiles (well, three, if you count the Baron’s — and who wouldn’t?) and a certain Dappledok pup. 
    Only, history has a way of being... slippery. 
    The only way to find out what really happened at Farringale is to go back there, poke it with a stick, and see what falls out. And try not to die in the process. 
    It'll be fine. With my enchanted pipes in tow, a unicorn at my side and three trusty allies at my back, what could possibly go wrong?

    A werewolf, a leprechaun, and a teenage tech genius walk into a bar... 
    Sounds like a joke, right? 
    Well, for Petra Graves, supernatural assassin, self-professed loner, and deadly sorcerer, that joke has just become a reality. 
    When Graves is sent to a ruined castle in Poland to hunt down a rogue bloodmancer, she suddenly finds herself facing off against an enemy she can’t defeat. 
    Her only option? 
    To release the wild magic within and hope it doesn’t obliterate everything in its path, including her. 
    That single act sets in motion a series of bizarre circumstances which rapidly complicates Petra’s simple life, surrounding her with a cadre of misfits, igniting a burgeoning romance with a two-hundred-year-old werewolf, and placing her squarely in the crosshairs of the coming apocalypse. 
    Get ready, sh*t’s about to get weird!

    In the business of unfinished business...  
    Tristan Everett has always preferred the company of the dead because they usually don't talk back. Being a somewhat awkward introvert working as a pathologist at the Hackney Public Mortuary suits him just fine. That is, until a freak accident with a rogue ice cube and suddenly he can see ghosts. 
    Just when he thought his life couldn't get any weirder, sassy drag queen, Dusty Le Frey, is wheeled in with a toe tag and she's not prepared to go quietly into the light. Not only is she furious at the prospect of spending eternity in last season's gold lame, she's determined that he help her solve her murder. 
    Suddenly Tristan finds himself thrown into a world of sequins and fake eyelashes, and worse still, he may have developed a bit of a crush on Scotland Yard's brand new drool-worthy detective, Inspector Danny Hayes, who's been assigned to Dusty's murder. Oh, and as the icing on top of a really crappy cake, the killer now wants him dead too... 
    All he ever wanted was a simple life but suddenly he's juggling work, a deliciously sexy detective, a stubborn ghost and a relentless murderer... and things have just gotten dead serious.... 
    From author Vawn Cassidy comes this hot and funny, slow burn, opposites attract paranormal caper across the East End of London.
