Wings of Winter

Stephanie Mirro

I’m in Hell, but some witch I know calls it Arizona. 
At least Tucson’s an excellent place to hide from the hefty bounty on my head, now that the entire supernatural Community knows I’m the last phoenix. Catching me comes with a set-for-life kind of price tag. 
I don’t blame the bounty hunters; business is business after all. But I’m beyond pissed at the maniacal mage who outed me and caused this whole mess. 
Trouble seems to find me wherever I go, though. Only a month into my desert exile, a grim reaper shows up and dies on my doorstep. The necromancers are trying something new, and if they get their hands on me and my resurrection ability, both the human and the fae world will be facing a mad man’s terrifying reign. 
Oh, and did I mention I’m being stalked? 
Fans of Nalini Singh’s Guild Hunters, Ilona Andrews’s Hidden Legacy, or Seanan McGuire’s InCryptid series will find The Last Phoenix a delightful new addition to the Urban Fantasy genre. Continue the adventure today! 
WINGS OF WINTER is the 3rd book of 7 in The Last Phoenix, an urban fantasy series containing fast-paced action, snarky humor, other realm travel, a variety of shifters, a hearty dose of swearing, and a splash of slow-burn fated mates romance.

Kakistocracy

Alex Shvartsman

If you do it well, lying is every bit as effective as magic. 
Conrad Brent has no innate magic, so he bluffs a lot and uses a myriad of magical items to protect Brooklyn from monsters and arcane threats. As a member of the Watch, the group that protects the mundane humans from such dangers, he risks his life on a regular basis. Sometimes twice before lunch. Sometimes during lunch, when he dares order his food from a street cart. 
After regaining his position in the Watch which he’d temporarily lost due to the machinations of a variety of evil-doers, Conrad doesn’t want to take any risks he doesn’t have to. But now his boss is missing, there’s a totalitarian new regime in City Hall oppressing all magic users, and the mayor has aligned himself with a diabolical villain. 
In order to save the day, Conrad must team up with a recovering necromancer to mediate a dispute between two ancient enemy factions, solve a mystery of a warded house adjacent to a cemetery, and stand with his friends against tyranny. 
That is, if the interdimensional fae assassins don’t get him first.

The Bear Mage

Vasily Mahanenko

What does it feel like to have the whole world know they owe you their salvation? Is it pride? Basking in self-admiration? A realization of your own greatness against the backdrop of anonymity shared by everyone else? There are lots of possibilities, only none of them describes what actually happened. Instead of becoming the savior, Leg Ondo was made a mockery. The being governing the planet forbade his totems and chosen people to disclose information about the battle between the demons and dragons. And that left the world confused. What did the Brown Bear clan do to deserve the avalanche of goodies that came pouring down on it? Should they be knocked off the pedestal they so recently climbed atop? 
 
 
 
But even that would be manageable if it weren't for one thing: the multilevel competition designed to bring the three empires closer together. How did Leg Ondo possibly get himself involved this time?
