Summary

The enlivening follow-up to the award-winning sensation The Annual Migration of Clouds
		 
Traveling alone through the climate-crisis-ravaged wilds of Alberta’s Rocky Mountains, 19-year-old Reid Graham battles the elements and her lifelong chronic illness to reach the utopia of Howse University. But life in one of the storied “domes” — the last remnants of pre-collapse society — isn’t what she expected. Reid tries to excel in her classes and make connections with other students, but still grapples with guilt over what happened just before she left her community. And as she learns more about life at Howse, she begins to realize she can’t stand idly by as the people of the dome purposely withhold needed resources from the rest of humanity. When the worst of news comes from back home, Reid must make a choice between herself, her family, and the broken new world.
		 
In this powerful follow-up to her award-winning novella The Annual Migration of Clouds, Premee Mohamed is at the top of her game as she explores the conflicts and complexities of this post-apocalyptic society and asks whether humanity is doomed to forever recreate its worst mistakes.

    For Líf, her ability to see each person's guardian spirit had always been a double-edged sword. 
    She hated drawing attention to herself, especially by those who thought her mad, and yearned for a quiet life. That is until another upended her world. This man brought with him the warning of an invisible plague that would destroy their race and claimed that he was the only person who could prevent it, for like Líf, he also had an unexplainable gift. The problem was that he was a slave. And he was not hers to free… 
    Set against the rich and brutal backdrop of Nordic myth, The Guardian's Speaker Volumes 1 – 4 are the first part of an adult novella series which serves as a dark odyssey through the nine realms that exist around Yggdrasil, the world tree. The people are as harsh and cold as the climate that has shaped them. Those who wish to survive must fight for that right or strive to die honorably in that attempt.

    "Accidental space adventurer Cal Carver has had a rough few months. He's fought spider-dragons, battled space clowns, and been repeatedly tortured by the galaxy's oldest assassin. 
     
    And don't even get him started on the squirrel-tits. 
     
    Now all that's behind him, Cal just wants to kick back and relax. The universe, however, has other ideas. 
     
    He and his crew find themselves in possession of the Symmorium Sentience, a once god-like entity now stripped of its power. The Sentience needs help to return home and restore the Symmorium species, which recently found itself the subject of an unfortunate genocide. 
     
    But with dark forces seeking to turn the Sentience's power into a planet-pulverizing weapon, the team's trek across the galaxy becomes a desperate race against time, with the fate of the very cosmos at stake. 
     
    Featuring awkward space-dates, gene-splicing villains, and a packet of coconut fingers as old as time itself, Space Team: Sentienced to Death is the eleventh book in the bestselling Space Team series by multi-award-winning author Barry J. Hutchison, and perfect for fans of funny stuff happening in space.

    🌊 Marine biologist Isla MacLeod returns to her Scottish hometown to investigate mysterious drownings in the loch, only to discover the legends are true: a kelpie haunts these waters. But the creature she encounters is no mindless monster—he's a devastatingly beautiful water spirit named Lachlan, cursed to drown humans or watch his own kind perish. When Isla becomes his next intended victim, she offers him a bargain: help her stop the real killer poisoning the loch, and she'll find a way to break his curse. As they investigate the toxic waters and unravel corporate conspiracy, their dangerous game transforms into a passionate connection that defies ancient magic and human fear. But Lachlan's kiss still carries death, and his curse demands a life—either hers or his own. With the loch dying and ancient magic fading, they must find a way to rewrite a thousand-year-old curse before their love becomes another legend at the bottom of the sea.

    Archer Kemp is tired of his life. Past wars, a cheating ex-wife, and a son he barely sees have made him empty inside; but things get worse when he awakens behind bars in a government facility called The Tower with an ensemble of others, some struggling to remember how they arrived. 
    The group soon finds themselves in a grim world where they’re starved and experimented on for the sake of military research. To further complicate the situation, his estranged brother shows up in the cell next to him before they’re mentally broken and bullyragged into descending the tower’s treacherous levels. 
    The moments that follow force Archer into his old wartime mentality—no man left behind—to try and keep them alive during a series of monstrous trials no human is meant to survive. And he must do it while fighting newly forming urges growing inside him blacker than the demons of his past. 
    Violent, fast-paced, creepy, and full of dread, The Tower pushes you down a dark slope of nightmarish moments mixed with one man’s broken realities.
