Stray Cat Strut 3

RavensDagger

Summary

A wave of kidnappings leads cybernetic samurai Cat LeBlanc deep into the labyrinthine tunnels beneath the city in this action-packed cyberpunk adventure.
In the megacity of New Montreal, those with wealth and power live in towers high above the teeming masses struggling to get by day after day. When the poor and destitute vanish, the police can't be bothered to spend time and resources investigating. But Franny, a nun who isn't afraid to practice what her religion preaches, sets out to find the missing by confronting street gangs with nothing but a baseball bat . . . and a lot of pent-up frustration.
Afraid for Franny's safety, pyrotechnic nun-samurai Gomorrah recruits Catherine "Cat" LeBlanc to protect her zealous friend and get to the bottom of the mysterious mass disappearances. And get to the bottom is exactly what Cat must do when she discovers the gang known as the Sewer Dragons has been abducting people into their underworld.
Within the cavernous channels that spread below the entirety of the city, the Dragons have created their own society of towns and nations. Their bodies have been augmented to withstand the poisonous toxins of waste so they can work cleaning out sewers and ensuring New Montreal has fresh water. In return, the city authorities leave the Dragons alone.
But Cat isn't willing to sacrifice people, simply because they lack money, just to keep the plumbing on. And when she, Gomorrah, and Franny descend into the Dragons' lair, they'll uncover the horrific truth behind the kidnappings—and be led into battle with not only sewer-dwelling cyborgs but also the dirtiest of politicians . . .

Clawing for Survival

Kevin McLaughlin, Michael Anderle

Cast out by dragonkind, threatened by his own family . . . A dragon with nothing left to lose can be a dangerous thing. 
 
 
 
Unless, of course, that dragon is Galen Stormwing. He's never been very dangerous. He was a failure at school, a failure at gaining powers, and a failure at keeping them. 
 
 
 
Now his own parents have told him he needs to do something to impress them within three days, or they'll have him executed as an embarrassment to the clan. He does the only sensible thing he can think of. 
 
 
 
He runs for it. Survival trumps pride, as far as Galen is concerned. Most dragons won't go to Canada, realm of the dwarf people, so that's where he must go. 
 
 
 
But he's not the only one fighting for survival. Vala is a young dwarf in school to become an engineer when she begins exhibiting magical powers. There's never been a dwarf mage before, and not all her people are thrilled about it. In fact, some of them would rather see Vala dead than allow their race to become polluted in that manner. 
 
 
 
Both of them are vulnerable, lost, alone—and hunted. But together, they might just have what they need to save each other!

Thorn Kissed and Silver Chains

Shannon Mayer, Kelly St. Clare

Underhill is my ruthless mother. Her realm is my deadly home. The brutal creatures here are both foe and friend. 
 
 
 
But the group of fae that just attacked me? They're all foe. Dragged from my game of hide-and-seek with a dragon, and my home of twenty-one years, I'm thrust into a weak, ugly realm. 
 
 
 
Earth. 
 
 
 
Something is taking the fae children of the Irish court, and an Oracle has declared I must find them. Not my problem. Except a three-year-old girl they suspect is the next Queen of All Fae was taken too. She's crucial to the success of my mother's work and the well being of all, including these simpering fae who've forgotten who they are. 
 
 
 
Now they have my attention. 
 
 
 
The child-snatching darkness flickers in and out of sight, spreading in secret, reaching through cracks and fissures to steal the innocent. Yet I earned each breath in my life by understanding that which seeks to kill me. I will learn the ways of this enemy and find its lair, ideally without the Seelie and Unseelie males who only slow me—even if they're not quite as stupid as most Earth-dwelling fae. 
 
 
 
All I'm sure of is that Underhill is testing me. My mother is testing me in her typical, brutal fashion. And I will not fail.
