  Edith's ancient home is full of secrets . . . and dragons are the least of them. 
   
   
   
  As the new dragon keeper in the hidden valley of Ormdale, Edith expects her first dragon mating season to involve venomous bites and amorous wyverns. 
   
   
   
  She doesn't expect to find herself growing closer to an inconveniently appealing suitor next door, or to stumble upon a dragon poacher lurking in the outbuildings, or to uncover a family scandal in the Abbey. 
   
   
   
  Fortunately, Edith has a mentor to help her sort things out, the spellbinding Helena Drake of Drake Hall. Or does Helena harbor secrets of her own? 
   
   
   
  For Edith, the dragons were always going to be the easy part. 
   
   
   
  Drake Hall, Book 2 of The Secrets of Ormdale, takes Edith deeper into the cozy gothic world of Yorkshire dragons and the mysterious families who guard them.

  Can a nerdy loner perform the 12 Labors of Hercules? 
   Nick hates high school and everyone in it. He's always been "different," but thought it was due to his dark skin... 
   ...not because his father is Chiron, the immortal centaur. 
   Now, Chiron's back in his life for the first time in Nick's memory, but instead of bringing an Xbox, all his dad does is deliver Nick to the wacked-out world of Mýthos and present a quest: 
   Complete the 12 Labors of Hercules and rid the world of monsters before the titan Typhon breaks out of Tartarus...or Mýthos will be destroyed. 
   Nck is more than aware he's not cut out to be a hero. Can't he just go home and get bullied like a normal teenager? That would hurt a lot less than his current suicide mission. 
   But there's one little catch - if he doesn't succeed, Earth will be destroyed, too! 
   Can Nick complete his 12 Labors before our world is destroyed? Or has everyone been right about him all along?  
   Find out in The Twelve Labors of Nick, the first book in the action-packed Mýthos fantasy series. 
   If you like courageous heroes, page-turning tension, and a new fun twist on Greek myths, then you'll love this fast-paced tale.

  The Last Day

  "Nothing like this book has been seen before, either in our language or in any other. We should rejoice that such brilliance exists in Welsh writing." – Pennar Davies, Welsh literary critic
  "Owain Owain's The Last Day transcends the confines of its form and should captivate a fresh generation of readers with this English translation." – Joshua Rees, Buzz Magazine
  The Last Day is more than a moving call to arms for speakers of minority languages facing extinction; at its core, it's a tragic human-scale story played out between the few figures who could have stopped the madness before it was too late. It is, moreover, a meditation on themes like free will, artificial intelligence and the socio-historical processes that contribute towards the death of a nation. These themes are as relevant now – if not more so – as they were when the novel was written.
  With science fiction tropes recalling Philip K. Dick, Kurt Vonnegut and more recently Olga Ravn's The Employees, philosophical reflections in the vein of Dostoyevsky's Notes From the Underground, and its postmodern form, The Last Day is a testament to the depth and creativity of Welsh literature. Its translation into English is long overdue.
