  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."

  Cast away from the Society (sort of) and out on our own, we've got a big problem on our hands - and an exciting prospect, too.  
  They call it time travel on TV.  
  Is this the big, fat secret the Hidden Ministry's been keeping? What's the real truth behind that wandering tower?  
  Answers must be found — in the face of severe opposition from the Ministry, from Ancestria Magicka, and from every Fae Court in existence. Simple. 
  If only everything wouldn’t keep going wrong. If only a house hadn’t walked off with Jay. If only there wasn’t still a traitor on the loose, and if only Ancestria Magicka wasn’t always up to no good.  
  With our trusty trio down to two, Zareen and I are going to need some help. Handsome, aristocratic, troll-shaped help, to be precise.  
  Our mission: track down a vanishing island, save the Striding Spire, and find the way back to 1789. 
  Oh — and find out what exactly has become of Jay...?

  Where one mission ends, another begins... 
  Cole and his crew are no strangers to bad breaks. That's just life. With a war waging in Anypsian territory, it doesn't matter that their task is complete. Gray is family, and you don't turn your back on family. His memories remain elusive, and enemy forces continue to work behind the scenes in their quest for power. To stop them, Cole teams up with the shadowy organization known as Chaos. 
  The first order of business is to find a missing Anypsian with vital information and bring her in. There's just one problem—no one knows what side of the war she's on. 
  Once a Renegade, always a Renegade. 
  Tracking down someone who doesn't want to be caught on an unfamiliar planet is hard enough. Add a parasitic race of aliens and more secrets into the mix, and this new job is going to be a real doozy, but Cole was raised to finish what he started and doesn't mind getting his hands dirty in order to find the truth and put an end to this war. 
  With a loyal crew, determination, and maybe a dash of luck, Cole has a fighting chance to come out on top. 
  But this time, the stakes are higher than ever, and winning one battle doesn’t equal victory. 
  Anypsia has secrets, some as old as life itself. Secrets that in the wrong hands will wreak havoc across this galaxy and change the future forever. 
  Warning: This book contains action, cussing, bad jokes, and general badassery. Read at your own risk.

  Two women. Two worlds. One goal: to stay alive. 
  All Fara wants is to earn enough tips to pay the bills, somehow learn to stand up for herself, and eat a good cheeseburger. What she gets is a federal agent who is convinced she is hiding a dangerous device in her tiny apartment; and a new and unexplainable ability that she really could do without. 
  All Blu wants is to restore democracy to her world, preferably without dying in the process. What she gets is the unwanted attention of two of the most lethal leaders of Jurisdiction; one who wants nothing more than to kill her, and the other…well…it’s complicated. 
  Neither woman had ‘run for my life’ on their to-do list, but you don’t always get what you want.
