  Intense, powerful, and increasingly relevant.  
  Ishkara, a refugee with a vision for unity, seeks to heal the scars left by generations of war. To do so, she enlists the aid of a constable, an artist, and an outsider. But in the fight to unite a nation, even the best of intentions can be corrupted.  
  Peacekeeping turns violent. Art becomes propaganda. Communities are forced into conformity. Together, they must decide what freedom really means—and what it costs to keep. 
  Step into a world inspired by the beauty and culture of Ukraine, where mountains are made of mirror-glass, firebirds soar overhead, and wars are fought over the shape of one’s horns.  
  Crown of Horns is a political fantasy that explores the rise of authoritarianism and the power of art and culture in the face of tyranny. Longtime genre fans and newcomers alike will be drawn in by its diverse cast, story-first worldbuilding, and edge-of-your-seat intensity.

  To stop a ritual for power, bloodlines must be drawn in the sand. 
  A war that has raged for a millennia may come to a close as werewolf alpha Lukis attempts a ritual that will give him unspeakable power and incite a cataclysmic event affecting the whole world. He is willing to sacrifice everything for it, even his own offspring. Leading a coven of vampires, Ace aims to stop him, but she may be thwarted by her own past and a love triangle she wanted no part in. 
  Her sire and former lover Nero has decided he no longer wants to adhere to the separation he and Ace agreed on decades ago, longing to rekindle the flame between them. But Ace is resolute—the mission comes first, even if the pull toward Nero is stronger than she'd like to admit. Six, the progeny she sired in secret, arrives soon after, asking for help, and her acute instability threatens to upend the mission and Ace's reunion with her sire. 
  Blood is thicker than water, but family can be a real pain in the fangs.
