  Greetings, friend! Take off your coat and get warm by the fire—I have a question for you. 
   
   
   
  Have you ever wondered what happens when the world of magic meets honest craft? Then perhaps you've never met an artificer before. Self-sorting wardrobes, ever-burning candles, front doors that turn away unwanted visitors—whatever you need, an artificer can make it. 
   
   
   
  Does that sound like the job for you? Then venture into Sunhampton, the little town where each morning greets you with a cup of coffee and the promise of a bright day. 
   
   
   
  Nestled there is Lewis's workshop, where he serves the town's artificeric needs. He fixes self-spicing stewpots and he tinkers with clockwork cleaning systems. And every so often, an unusual job comes his way. 
   
   
   
  Can Lewis fix up the old house by the river and make it livable again? And what about the waterwheel at the lumbermill, which mysteriously stopped turning one day, and nobody knows why? 
   
   
   
  No answer is easy, no job is straightforward. But with master crafters to guide him, loyal friends at his side, and his curiosity driving him forward, Lewis will get to the bottom of it.

  I saw my death coming. 
  It was staring me in the face through the eyes of another witch, but I was wrong. It’s an easy mistake to make, that your enemies would be the cause. Death didn’t come from the front. It didn’t even come from behind. No, my death came from the person I kept beside me for so many years. My heart-keeper, my savior, my protector, my husband, my killer… 
  Summer may have been the villain, but her story is one of survival and betrayal. Captured as a witch, she’s “recruited” to fight against the technomancers as a secret weapon. Her marriage to Donarick Thames sets in motion a vicious cycle of misfortune when her once-sweet husband starts to grow more violent, but in the meantime, she’s a badass witch who commands netherbeasts. 
  This novella contains spoilers for Sonata, book 2 of Lyra R. Saenz’s Nocturne Symphony. Readers who have not yet read Sonata are advised to pause before venturing further. 
  Additional Warnings: Mentions of rape, torture, domestic abuse, stillbirth/infanticide, and abortion.

  Zaena's close to securing the final artifacts she needs to save her people, but doing so requires her to strike deals with the most dangerous elven tribes. Thousands of years ago, diplomacy failed, and she has only hope to convince her it'll work this time. 
   
   
   
  Trusting the cobra to protect you from the scorpion isn't a great idea on the best of days. 
   
   
   
  Team Princess has advanced too far to succeed without the help of powerful humans. Zaena doesn't know whom to trust when every human around her wants to take advantage of her power for their own agenda. A surprising request from an ally forces her into a deadly race against time. 
   
   
   
  A revelation from an unexpected source might throw out everything Zaena thought she knew about humans and magic. 
   
   
   
  A shocking and mysterious death in a peaceful country could be the lead Zaena needs or a dangerous trap. There is no path left for her but boldly striding forward and accepting that honor and courage aren't all she needs to win. 
   
   
   
  Zaena is pushed to her limit against her greatest threat yet.

  “If you thought that there was no reason left for living after the end of the Sorcerer’s Ring series, you were wrong. In RISE OF THE DRAGONS Morgan Rice has come up with what promises to be another brilliant series, immersing us in a fantasy of trolls and dragons, of valor, honor, courage, magic and faith in your destiny. Morgan has managed again to produce a strong set of characters that make us cheer for them on every page.…Recommended for the permanent library of all readers that love a well-written fantasy.”--Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto MattosThis original short story takes us back in time to show us how it all began. KINGS AND SORCERERS: A SHORT STORY  is a 3,000 word original short story which is a must-read complement to the #1 bestselling KINGS AND SORCERERS series, which begins with RISE OF THE DRAGONS (Book #1), a free download with over 1,000 five-star reviews. It also serves as a standalone story and also as a great introduction to the series.In KINGS AND SORCERERS, Kyra, 15, dreams of becoming a famed warrior, like her father, even though she is the only girl in a fort of boys. As she struggles to understand her special skills, her mysterious inner power, she realizes she is different than the others. But a secret is being kept from her about her birth and the prophecy surrounding her, leaving her to wonder who she really is. Just as Kyra is coming of age, the local lord comes to take her away. Her father wants to wed her off to save her. Kyra, though, refuses, and she quests on her own, into a dangerous wood, where she encounters a wounded dragon—and ignites a series of events that will change the kingdom forever.  15 year old Alec, meanwhile, sacrifices for his brother, taking his place in the draft, and is carted off to The Flames, a wall of flames a hundred feet high that wards off the army of Trolls to the east. On the far side of the kingdom, Merk, a mercenary striving to leave behind his dark past, quests through the wood to become a Watcher of the Towers and help guard the Sword of Fire, the paranormal source of the kingdom’s power. But the Trolls want the Sword, too—and they prepare for a massive invasion that could destroy the kingdoms forever.With its strong atmosphere and complex characters, RISE OF THE DRAGONS is a sweeping, romantic saga of knights and warriors, of kings and lords, of honor and valor, of magic, action, adventure, destiny, sorcery, monsters and dragons. It is a story of love and broken hearts, of deception, of ambition and betrayal. It is fantasy at its finest, inviting us into a world that will live with us forever, one that will appeal to all ages and genders.“RISE OF THE DRAGONS succeeds—right from the start…. A superior fantasy…It begins, as it should, with one protagonist's struggles and moves neatly into a wider circle of knights, dragons, magic and monsters, and destiny.…All the trappings of high fantasy are here, from soldiers and battles to confrontations with self….A recommended winner for any who enjoy epic fantasy writing fueled by powerful, believable young adult protagonists.”--Midwest Book Review, D. Donovan, eBook Reviewer
