The Mantle of Darkness has a new bearer. The world is safe from the unbridled powers of darkness, for now…
After years of turmoil, Agora is safe. The land was ravished, kingdoms have fallen, and its people were decimated, but the survivors will rebuild, the land will heal.
Drindellia, the homeland of the elves, beckons adventurers from across the sea. The humans and elves have settled on the western shores of the distant land, and the dwarves have reclaimed the ancient home of Ky’Dren.
But the ancient homeland keeps many secrets. Her vast plains, mountains, and abandoned ruins hold many dangers…
Deep beneath the Velk’Har Mountains, strange creatures begin to stir. Their skin is pail, their bodies frail, but it is their minds that might prove to be the greatest threat the dwarves have ever faced.
In the north, a new breed of Draggard is discovered. Calling themselves the Drekkon, these magic-wielding creations of Eadon have laid claim to Drindellia, and they will not back down easily.
Freed from the prison of the gods by Whill, Eldarian plots to destroy the prison and free the powers of darkness.
In western Agora, Dirk Blackthorn discovers a human like Whill—a human with the powers of old…
Whill of Agora thought that he might know peace for a time in the old world, but the power of the mantle beckons. If he is to ensure the safety of his children, his people, and his friends, he will have to embrace his newfound power, else be consumed by those who would wield it.
In the classic fantasy tradition, the Whill of Agora saga continues to delight fans with its unforgettable characters, unstoppable action, and heart wrenching introspection into the human condition.

The ugly sisters

Danny King

For hundreds of years, readers have been enchanted by the tale of Cinderella, of how a nobleman's daughter escaped a life of servitude with the help of a pumpkin, a pair of glass slippers and her Fairy Godmother. But the truth is very different from the fairytale yet no less extraordinary. Marigold and Gardenia Roche have simple dreams; to marry well and live happily ever after. Yet this is a tricky proposition when neither heralds from money nor could be considered a great beauty. But two events are about to change the lives of everyone in the tiny Kingdom of Andovia: the first is the announcement of a great ball, at which the Crown Prince has vowed to choose a bride. The second is the arrival of a widowed French nobleman and his beautiful daughter. Two events, seemingly unconnected, and yet both will have dire consequences for all – unless something is done. Marigold and Gardenia's lives are about to become entwined with the girl who would be Queen. And yet few will ever know the dangers they faced nor the sacrifices they made to save a vainglorious Kingdom from the damsel with the crocodile smile.
Every child knows the story of Cinderella. But this is the story of Marigold and Gardenia Roche – otherwise known as the Ugly Sisters. And it is no fairytale.

The Wonder Tales - Books 1-3

Charlotte E. English

Three enchanting fairytales from a writer of extraordinary imagination. Charlotte E. English’s Wonder Tales will sweep you far, far away...

Faerie Fruit: The centuries-barren orchards of Berrie-on-the-Wyn suddenly bear fruit — and it’s clear that something fey’s afoot. Who is the motley piper walking the streets, drawing forth magic and mayhem with his music? And how can half of the town vanish into thin air?

Gloaming: In Vale Argantel, an enchanted twilight sweeps over the land at precisely four o’clock. Such is the way of things. But when Oriane falls through a magic mirror and disappears, something odder still is on the rise. For she’s gone to a place very like Argantel — eerily familiar, yet strangely different; a place which follows none of the usual rules…

Sands and Starlight: An old sorcerer travels the starlight bazaars: cursed and magic-blighted, he has glass where his heart should be. To mend it, he must journey back into his own shadowed past — to the lost and wandering palace of ensorcelled glass, glimpsed only under the stars, and vanishing with the dawn...

“Large helpings of wit and whimsy... Readers who enjoy the old-fashioned language of classic fairy tales will be pleased with this one. ” -Publishers Weekly on Faerie Fruit

“Her faultless prose by turns ascends with the lark, leads you down secret paths like the willow-the-wisp, bewitches you into bewilderment, and sparkles with eye-bedazzling wonder...” - NYT Bestselling author Mercedes Lackey on Gloaming

Ves may be up for anything, but she hadn’t expected that pretty much anything would be up for her.
 
And with a horde of unhappy spirits enjoying a direct line to Zareen’s psyche, it’s lucky she’s unbreakable... right?
 
Mysteries deepen and madness abounds in three more Modern Magick adventures: The Wonders of Vale, The Heart of Hyndorin, and Alchemy and Argent.

The Striding Spire - Modern...

Charlotte E. English

Fresh from an involuntary crash course in the Stranger Arts, I've a new mystery on my plate: the inexplicable reappearance of a particularly fantastic magickal species.
 
Which is great, don't get me wrong. Rescuing magickal beasts is what we do around here.
 
But the Dappledok Pup hasn't been seen since the seventeen hundreds; so how did we find one, alive and kicking, over two hundred years later?
 
And this beast has a talent for sniffing out treasure, no less. Happenstance? Maybe not.
 
Is there something sinister afoot? And what does any of this have to do with an unusually perambulatory tower?
 
Aided by a talking book, a spriggan with a taste for vintage fashion and the best Waymaster in the business, nothing can stop me from finding out the truth. Can it?
