Sinopse

Before Kurval became King of Azakoria in the year of the forked serpent, he was commander of a mercenary company in service to his predecessor King Orkol.

While helping to bring the rebellious northern provinces back under Orkol's heel, Kurval is ordered to hang twelve innocent young women as an example to the rebels.

Kurval is disgusted by Orkol's cruelty. But can he find a way to save the twelve young women from the gallows? And dare he defy King Orkol?

The new sword and sorcery adventure by two-time Hugo finalist Cora Buhlert and her occasional alter ego, 1930s pulp writer Richard Blakemore. This is a novelette of 14200 words or approx. 50 print pages in the Kurval sword and sorcery series, but may be read as a standalone. Includes an introduction and afterword.

    She thought the worst was behind her, but the past has a way of catching up. 
    When Kai shows up in Kansas City—tempting, stubborn, and impossible to forget—Astrid starts to realize that saving her sister was only the beginning. 
    Along with Kai come enemies who want her dead, secrets she was never meant to uncover, and a connection she’s no longer sure she can resist.

    Carved in Ashes is the addictive second book in the Astrid Stone Trilogy—blending forbidden romance, slow-burn tension, magical stakes, and a broody dragonborn hero in a closed-door paranormal fantasy full of heart.

    'We increased the bounty on angels today,' my father said. He was shielding his eyes as he squinted up through the ground window at the red, dying sun. 'Five thousand pecs for a healthy woman or child…'
       Humanity has splintered. Over millennia, the Avians of the Clifflands have learned to fly with wings of sky metal. The Subterraneans venture to the surface only to farm in vast glass domes. Between them lies the boundless and savage Wilderness. Suspicion and hostility between their cities shadow every aspect of life in this post-apocalyptic world.
    Icarus is a Seraphim, rare and destined for greatness. When he is sent on a deadly mission to far-off Subterranean Newtopia, his people's hopes weigh on him as heavily as the wings on his back, or the bounty he must capture.
    Velvet is an outcast, shunned throughout Newtopia and protected only by her domineering father's influence. Unwilling to bend to the patriarchal tyranny of the Elders, she dreams of freedom.
    Meanwhile, shadowy forces are plotting to overturn the long-simmering stalemate, unleashing conflict that will usher in a new and even darker world order.
    Threatened with a war that will end their people forever, Icarus and Velvet must struggle to survive. Flung together by fate, they must forge an alliance — or die.

    It's 1968, and the Watry-Ridder family is feared and respected in equal measure. The local farmers seek out their water charms, and the teenagers, their love spells. The family's charms and spells, passed down through generations of witches descending from the Black Forest, have long served the small town of Friedrich, Minnesota. 
     
     
     
    Eldest daughter Elisabeth has just graduated high school—she is expected to hone her supernatural abilities to take over for her grandmother, the indomitable Magda. She's also expected to marry her high school sweetheart and live the rest of her life in Friedrich. But all she can ask is, why her? Why is her path set in stone, and what else might be out there for her? 
     
     
     
    She soon discovers that magic isn’t the only thing inherited in her family. That magic also comes with a great price—and a big family secret. The more she digs, the more questions she has, and the less she trusts the grandmother she thought she knew. Who is Elisabeth without her family? She must ultimately decide what she's willing to sacrifice for her family, for their secrets and their magic, or risk it all to pave her own way.
