  An ancient prophecy, a love renewed, and an otherworldly power threatening to annihilate everything they’ve worked so hard to build. 
  Jess Bryant never believed she was the one the prophecy spoke of, but when she used her psychic abilities to open a doorway to the Dimension of Light, she could no longer deny her fate. But her gift came with a hefty price tag—danger in the form of a vengeful angel hellbent on destroying her. 
  If he succeeds, the prophecy will be void, but the world as they know it will forever be lost. 
  David Woods may be the most powerful Nephilim alive, but even he knows he may not be strong enough to stop an angel from another dimension. When Jess is called to Florence, Italy to work a new case, he helps her navigate a new kind of danger, all the while protecting her from the enemy determined to kill her to stop the prophecy.  
  There’s no way he’ll ever lose her without a fight, even if that means burning the world to the ground to save her. 
  Frost & Fury is a full-length novel. It’s the third book in the House of Frost dark paranormal romance series, and it’s the epic conclusion to the first trilogy in the series. The story will continue, but this will feature a HEA for David and Jess. If you like tough heroines and anti-heroes, steamy action, and edge-of-your-seat suspense, then you’ll love M.J. Mercer’s sexy tale.

  Fyodor Dostoyevsky

  Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky was born in Moscow on 11th November, 1821 to distinguished multi-ethnic parents from a Lithuanian background.  
  His childhood years were at the family home in hospital grounds which also contained an orphanage, an insane asylum and a cemetery for criminals.  The young Fyodor often disobeyed his father by talking to the ill in the hospital gardens.   
  His health was compromised at age 9 when he experienced his first epileptic fit. By the time he was a teenager both parents had died and he was now enrolled in a military academy where he graduated and eventually became a Lieutenant in 1842.  He left military service the next year. 
  In 1846 he published his first novel ‘Poor Cow’ to great literary acclaim.  His next was unable to emulate that success but his short stories helped provide an income.  Life as an author was definitely difficult. As he began his next work he was arrested and incarcerated for treason and participation in the political and literary Petrashevsky Circle. Although the case was weak and unjustified he was sentenced to 4 years of hard labour followed by 5 years of military service in a Siberian regiment.  
  Despite the undoubted hardships and setbacks in his life, and whether they helped or hindered his writing, his talents produced many exceptional works of literature including ‘Crime and Punishment’, ‘The Idiot’ and ‘The Brothers Karamazov’.   
  Dostoevsky’s ability to get under the skin of his characters and show the inner workings of their mind was hugely influential and ahead of its time.  Interwoven with this was the influence of the broader social, spiritual and political forces at work in a person's psyche.   
  Fyodor Dostoevsky struggled financially and remained in poor health for much of his adult life.  He died from a lung haemorrhage on 9th February, 1881.
