The Luminary Almanac - A Chronicle of the Subterranean Sky

Victoria Hodge

Sinopsis

Beneath a brass sky, in the clockwork city of Aethelgard, the sun is a forgotten myth.  Life revolves around the Luminary Almanac, a colossal orrery predicting the dance of unseen stars, its gears whirring in perfect synchronicity with the city's intricate network of satellites.  But for cartographer Adric Vost, a flicker in the Almanac's mechanism sparks an unsettling suspicion: what if the sky above is nothing more than a meticulously crafted illusion?Armed with intricate goggles of his own design and a thirst for truth, Adric's quest leads him to Penra Solvane, a brilliant linguist who deciphers the forgotten language of the clouds with a whirring, clicking translator. Together, they embark on a perilous journey towards the last functioning Astral Observatory, a relic from a bygone era.Their pursuit of truth ignites a firestorm of conflict.  Zealous Sky Cultists, who venerate the brass satellites as divine, brand them heretics.  Map-thieves, hungry for the Almanac's secrets, stalk their every move.  And lurking in the shadows, the enigmatic Order of the Veil guards a truth more dangerous than any fabrication.As Adric and Penra delve deeper, they uncover whispers of the Sky-Engine, a colossal subterranean machine capable of manipulating the atmosphere.  Their search takes them through ozone-choked tunnels and forgotten cities carved into the earth, where they enlist the help of Brandy Martin, a skeptical engineer whose pragmatism is challenged by their extraordinary discoveries.The closer they get to the Sky-Engine, the more perilous their journey becomes.  They uncover a centuries-old conflict between the Order of the Veil and the forgotten Luminaries, the architects of the artificial sky.  And a shocking revelation about Penra's heritage forces her to confront her family’s legacy and choose between preserving the illusion and unveiling a potentially devastating truth.Can they decipher the Almanac's cryptic messages, locate the Sky-Engine, and navigate the treacherous political landscape before the Sky Cultists, manipulated by the Order of the Veil, unleash a divine apocalypse?  In a world where the sky itself is a lie, the fight for truth could shatter everything.

The Alpha Who Saved Me

Stacy Rush

They came in and wiped out my pack, leaving me an orphan at the age of fifteen, but then Alpha Declan came in and saved me, bringing me into his own pack. I've been living with the Storm River pack for three years now, training and learning how to fight, so when the time comes, I can kill the Alpha that took my family and pack away from me.But what do you do when you start to fall for the one who saved you to begin with? The one that took you under his wing when you had nothing left? The one who kissed you first, and made you feel things that you didn't feel before? I shouldn't be with him; he isn't my mate. I've yet to scent my mate, but Declan is too delicious to pass up. He's already saved me once, but can he save me from falling for him when I know my Goddess-given mate is out there somewhere?
 
I feel us moving and then I’m being placed on the hood of his Tesla. This puts me so my core is up against his hardness, and oh my Goddess, he feels monstrous! It’s a good thing that I’m not his mate, because I don’t think I’d be able to take it. It doesn’t stop me from rubbing against it, though, as tingles begin to form, and I moan.“That’s it, sweetheart, rub yourself against me and come for me. I want to see what you look like when you fall apart in my arms.” His command washes over me and I come instantly.

Alpha Nicholas - Marked As Your...

Becky J

"The first night I saw you I fought every emotion, every instinct and I was a fool for doing it. The moment I laid eyes on you I should have claimed you, thrown you over my shoulder and brought you up to our room to mate and mark you. You should already be wearing my mark and officially be known as the Luna of this pack but I didn't do any of that. Instead, I walked away like a fucking idiot and worst of all I hurt you when I had no right to. Every day I wish I could go back to that day and change how I reacted but I can't, and so now I have to pay for my behaviour and that means waiting until you are ready to accept me as your mate and my Luna, until you are ready to wear my mark."
