  Two people desperate for answers wade through smoke and mirrors within the Alien world of Harmony in this new novel by New York Times bestselling author Jayne Castle. 
   
  His name is Joshua Knight. Once a respected explorer, he’s now called the Tarnished Knight by the press. He took the fall for a disaster in the Underworld, destroying his career. The devastating event occurred in the newly discovered sector known as Glass House—a maze of crystal that is rumored to conceal powerful Alien antiquities. The rest of the Hollister Expedition team disappeared and are presumed dead. 
   
  Whatever happened down in the tunnels scrambled Joshua’s psychic senses and his memories, but he’s determined to reveal the truth. Labeled delusional and paranoid, he retreated to an abandoned mansion in the desert, a house filled with mirrors. Now a recluse, Joshua spends his days trying to unlock the secrets in the looking glasses that cover the walls. He knows he is running out of time.  
   
  Talented, ambitious crystal artist Molly Griffin is shocked to learn that the Tarnished Knight has been located. She drops everything and heads for the mansion to talk to Joshua, confident she can help him regain control of his shattered senses. She has no choice—he is the key to finding her sister, Leona, a member of the vanished expedition team. Joshua reluctantly allows Molly to stay one night, but there are two rules: she must not go down into the basement, andshe must not uncover the mirrors that have been draped. 
   
  But her only hope for finding her sister is to break the rules. …

  Arseny Lebedev lives a normal life. During the day, he’s a mechanic. At night, he livestreams a fairy tale video game called Paladin. And sometimes—only sometimes—he kills people. But they all deserve it. 
  Ever doesn’t know his last name. He doesn’t know much of anything. Most of his life has been torture, bought and sold by a woman who calls herself his mother. He’s resigned himself to a life of servitude, until he meets Arsen. 
  The moment Arsen sees Ever, they’re bonded. Ever is both fragile and feral, willing to defend himself with any tool at his disposal, even teeth. Arsen is color and light, a beacon in Ever’s darkness, as brave as the knight in the game he plays. 
  Arsen protects Ever fiercely, but just when he feels safe, someone attempts to drag him back to his old life, reminding him that reality isn’t fairy tales or video games. He knows staying puts Arsen in danger. But Arsen insists they’re safer together. Can Ever truly have his happily ever after or is it game over? 
  Paladin is a hurt-comfort, dark romance with an HEA and no cliffhangers. It features a vigilante twitch-streamer and the beautiful but feral gremlin he saves from a life of misery. As with any Onley book, you’ll find dark humor, steamy sexy times, and gratuitous violence against people who totally deserve it. This is book 1 in the Jericho’s Boys series. Each book follows a different couple.

  The Importance Of Being Earnest...

  "The Importance of Being Earnest" is a comedic play written by Oscar Wilde, first performed in 1895. Regarded as one of Wilde's masterpieces, the play is celebrated for its wit, humor, and satirical examination of the social conventions and manners of the Victorian era. The plot revolves around the lives of two friends, Algernon Moncrieff and Jack Worthing. To escape social obligations and responsibilities, both men create fictional identities. Algernon invents an imaginary friend named "Bunbury," whom he uses as an excuse to avoid unwelcome social events. On the other hand, Jack assumes the identity of "Ernest" whenever he wishes to engage in more adventurous and carefree pursuits in the city. 
   
  The central conflict arises when both Algernon and Jack become romantically involved with women who are attracted to the name "Ernest." Gwendolen Fairfax, Jack's love interest, is enamored with the idea of marrying a man named Ernest, while Algernon's romantic pursuit, Cecily Cardew, shares the same sentiment. The play cleverly exploits the comedic potential of mistaken identities, love affairs, and the absurdity of social expectations. Wilde's razor-sharp wit is evident in the dialogue, filled with epigrams, puns, and clever wordplay. The characters engage in delightful banter, and the play satirizes the trivialities of upper-class society while highlighting the importance placed on appearances and social status. "The Importance of Being Earnest" is known for its comedic absurdity, intricate plot twists, and exploration of the theme of identity. Beyond the surface-level humor, Wilde uses the play to critique the hypocrisy and artificiality of societal norms, exposing the ridiculousness of the characters' obsessions with names and titles.
