Summary

"I was a member of a small company of emigrants, who were attacked by an overwhelming force of hostile Sioux, which resulted in the death of a large proportion of the party, in my own capture, and a horrible captivity of five months' duration. Of my thrilling adventures and experience during this season of terror and privation, I propose to give a plain, unvarnished narrative, hoping the reader will be more interested in facts concerning the habits, manners, and customs of the Indians, and their treatment of prisoners."

With the hieral menace Ripple now safe and the school in a reconstruction phase, Inglis—former hero-king and current talk of the town—is summoned by the king himself to the palace, where she's offered a promotion to captain of the Royal Guard! 
 
 
 
This leap up the ranks is as unconventional as it would be desirable to almost anyone else, but Inglis turns it down as a matter of course, preferring to someday fight on the front lines. This means turning down a celebration feast at the palace, but an eccentric man named Count Weismar is more than pleased to make a deal: they be his new pair of leading ladies in exchange for food.

The sparrows dance. A ghost whispers. And the forgotten powers of the saints rise again. 
The first World War rages across Europe, and in the wreckage of The Refuge, Lily and her allies struggle to find their way through the aftermath of a devastating loss.  
For Sam Wu, it’s a path that leads him back to Limehouse, where he must face the greatest danger of his own past on a desperate quest for revenge.  
For Lily, it’s a remote seaside manor where a military officer is strangely and brutally murdered—with Lord Strangford named the only possible suspect.  
But the dead man wasn’t who he seemed to be. A game of secrets is being played at the highest echelons of the empire, drawing Lily along a trail of lies from the bombarded coast of Yorkshire to the haunted shell of the place she once called home—while a brilliant and relentless police inspector hounds her every move.  
To reach the heart of it—and find the real killer—she must pull together friends scattered by loss and conflict, pushing the limits of an arcane gift that she is far from understanding. The fate of the war might just hang in the balance… along with the life of the man Lily loves. 
A vase will fall. A friend will be betrayed. And nothing is what it seems.  
Return to the arcane world of The London Charismatics as this riveting historical fantasy series continues with Bridge of Ash. This book also includes the special bonus Charismatics novella, A Wrath of Sparrows.

Spawn Of Inferno by Hugh B. Cave is a tense blend of science fiction and supernatural horror, filled with claustrophobic streets, unseen predators, and a monstrous presence that feeds in the dark. Step into Darbury’s smothering night and follow Moller’s desperate race to stop a mad experiment before the gateway stays open forever.

Two worlds collide in a supernatural partnership. 
 
Desperate times call for desperate measures. As the ex-military owner of Sterling Security Solutions, Tatiana Sterling excels at handling dangerous situations. 
 
Her problem? Landing clients in a male-dominated industry. The solution? Hiring mysterious heartthrob Jackson Dale Shade to play the role of her business partner. 
 
When Eleanor Kensington hires them to find her missing grandson, Tatiana and JD discover the case is far more sinister than a simple disappearance. 
 
As they navigate this treacherous investigation, Tatiana finds herself increasingly drawn to JD's charm, strength, and uncanny abilities. Something different about him emerges—impossibly fast reflexes, superhuman strength, along with a troubling aversion to law enforcement. 
 
The unlikely duo must work together to uncover the truth and confront powerful enemies who will stop at nothing to keep their secrets. 
 
Can Tatiana trust JD with her business—and possibly her heart when he's clearly hiding his true nature? Or will his supernatural secret destroy everything they're building together?
