The Son of the Deathless

Nicholas Kotar

Sinopse

The dead will rise. The living will fall. The Deathless will reign.

Born on the vernal equinox, his first breath drawn while he lay on blood-soaked soil in the mystic woods of Dunai, Andry’s birth portended heroism, power, destiny.

And yet, other than an unusual affinity for the land, the boy has lived a life indistinguishable from that of any other child born in Dunai: a life of secluded, prosperous, boring contentment.

But when two soldiers arrive, fleeing the never-ending wars of an evil empress, everything changes. Andry’s home has at last been found by the empire, and the empress demands her due: Dunai’s crops and food to feed her subjects, its men and women to fight her wars. Worst of all, the empress has the Mother of Kish—a sorceress whose thirst for blood and power knows no bounds—to oversee Dunai’s conquest.

But the Mother of Kish has her own dark designs. For she has heard the rumors, she has divined the signs. She knows that the treasure of Dunai lies not in its crops or people, but in the power it hides: the power to raise the dead; to create an eternal army capable of laying waste to all who stand against her.

And the Mother of Kish will have that power—or she will destroy it, along with all Dunai—unless Andry can discover the truth of his birth, the lie of his life. Unless he can find within himself the power that creation bent itself to give him…as The Son of the Deathless.

Mixing the intrigue and adventure of epic fantasy with the dark adventure of Russian fairy tales and the fast-paced thrills of sword-and-sorcery classics, The Son of the Deathless is an adventure unlike any other! Fans of Juliet Marillier (Tower of Thorns), C.S. Lewis (The Chronicles of Narnia; Till We Have Faces), and Katherine Arden (The Bear and the Nightingale) will love this story by acclaimed fantasy author Nicholas Kotar.

My Boss is the Devil

Ben Schenkman

Finding the balance between good and evil is about to require a lot of coffee. 
What’s better than being a college dropout twenty-something working as a barista in New Haven, CT? Just about anything. 
Nick would give anything to escape the dead-end life he’s made for himself. He gets the offer of a lifetime from Lucifer himself, to trade his apron for a suit. Should he really consider becoming an agent of the Devil? With the way things are going for Nick, of course he should. 
Lucifer wants to give Nick a chance to do what he always wanted, to help people, wielding power and influence to make their dreams come true. He would have to sell his soul, but the Devil is a gambling man and lets Nick experience his new life before he has to sign on the dotted line. Can he use the Devil’s power for good, and make his mark on the world, or will he fall victim to his own desires and lose his humanity? 
As if that wasn’t enough, the very friend that made the meeting with Lucifer possible turns on Nick, and he needs to do some quick thinking to come out on top. Maybe the ends justify the means, but there are no easy answers.
