  Earth won its freedom. Now it must fight to keep it. 
   
   
   
  Humanity fought and won its freedom by establishing a fragile peace with the two great powers—the Qash'vo'tar and the Zhal Confederation—by bringing them proof that their ancient enemy, the Val'ayash, survived the great war. But despite that, Earth is still a minor player in a wider galaxy, with only one advantage. Magic. 
   
   
   
  Two years after Earth won its freedom, the tensions between the three star nations are rising. And United Terran Systems council knows that it is only a matter of time before the two great powers pressure humanity for the secrets of their magi-tech, which is the only thing that might allow Earth to remain safe. Knowing that they need another advantage if Earth is to keep its independence, UTS council sends the Prometheus on a mission to recover valuable technology from the remains of the ancient empire that fought the Val'ayash, hoping that they will find something to help them keep all of humanity safe. 
   
   
   
  But humanity has other secrets, and other projects in the works, all of them will be needed if the galaxy is to survive. Because, Val'ayash have returned.

  There is life in the universe – and they’re looking to sell. 
  Prince, a charismatic (and lackluster) real-estate agent with a complicated past, gets a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make it to the literal top of the business – fly an advanced spaceship known as “The Kepler” to an alien planet, where he will resume his career as an intergalactic realtor—selling luxury homes to the ultra-rich and live like the king he always knew he was.  
  But when the plan falls short, and Prince discovers the dark forces manipulating his life on Matlitodus, he finds himself in the middle of an intergalactic scheme with a talking trapdoor spider named Priscilla, a genius teenager with an affinity to Frenc fries, and a foodie scoundrel who knows a lot more than he lets on… 
  A graceful mashup of satire, high-stakes action, science fiction, and critique, The Best Realtor in the Galaxy is perfect for fans of John Scalzi, Julia Huni, and Douglas Adams’ The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.

  Hell’s royals have risen. 
  The world teeters on the edge of destruction. 
  And I’ve just found my real purpose in all this. 
  There are seven Princes of Hell and seven Vindix—chosen warriors—to defeat them. 
  As a seeker witch, my job is to find the other Vindix. 
  Easy right? 
  Not quite. 
  Putting aside the aforementioned royals, the Ordo Aeternum has it out for me, and the Ringmaster has revealed herself to be more dangerous than ever. 
  My enemies are powerful, but my loved ones are too. 
  Especially Tobias, a vampire, my fated mate. 
  Who knew? 
  Not me, but I'm thanking the goddess for them because I’ll need every helping hand I can get, and a whole lot of luck, to find the other Vindix before the Princes of Hell take over our world. 
  Marked by Fate is a steamy urban fantasy romance with vibes like Karen Marie Moning’s Fever Series and Chandelle LaVaughn’s Coven Series.

  "The Rats in the Walls" is a short story by American author H. P. Lovecraft. Written in August–September 1923, it was first published in Weird Tales, March 1924.In 1923, an American named Delapore, the last descendant of the De la Poer family, moves to his ancestral estate in England following the death of his only son during World War I. To the dismay of nearby residents, he restores the estate, called Exham Priory. After moving in, Delapore and his cat frequently hear the sounds of rats scurrying behind the walls. Upon investigating further, and through recurring dreams, Delapore learns that his family maintained an underground city for centuries, where they raised generations of "human cattle"—some regressed to a quadrupedal state—to supply their taste for human flesh. This was stopped when Delapore's ancestor killed his entire family in their sleep and left the country in order to end the horror, leaving the remaining human livestock and a surviving relative to be devoured by the rats inhabiting the city's cesspits.Maddened by the revelations of his family's past, a hereditary cruelty and his anger over his son's death, Delapore attacks one of his friends in the dark of the cavernous city and begins eating him while rambling in a mixture of Middle English, Latin, and Gaelic, before devolving into a cacophony of animalistic grunts. He is subsequently subdued and placed in a mental institution. At least one other investigator, Thornton, has gone insane as well. Soon after, Exham Priory is destroyed and the investigators decide to cover up the existence of the city. Delapore maintains his innocence, proclaiming that it was "the rats, the rats in the walls", who ate the man. He continues to be plagued by the sound of rats in the walls of his cell.

  Brady knew two things: 
  It was the end of the world, and the Greens had won. 
  2084 was going to be an interesting year. All he needed to do was break out of jail first. 
  The Greens had won the fight against climate change, and the world was about to change in a big way. Bodhi Sattva, the charismatic leader of Sattva Systems™, had teamed up with the Green Revolutionaries to bring down the old industries that had been holding back progress. Together, they had a plan to save the planet and usher in a new era of sustainability. 
  But not everyone was on board with the new order. Brady had a unique ability, one that he could use to establish a criminal enterprise for himself and his adopted family of misfits and conspiracy theorists. The Greens saw him as a threat, but Bodhi had plans for Brady. 
  As the billion good-natured Greens worked to repair the planet with Operation Clean-up, Brady found himself in the middle of a struggle for power. Bodhi, the self-appointed Messiah of Mother Earth, had already shown that he was willing to go to great lengths to eliminate his business competitors. What was his endgame, and how far was he willing to go to achieve it? 
  This thrilling science fiction series explores the intersection of technology, environmentalism, and power. It is a must-read for fans of Cli-fi and Sci-fi readers alike. Join the new Green world today and discover the fate of the planet!
