The New York Times bestselling author of the Novels of the Elder Races returns with an enchanting and sizzling new tale about debts that cannot be repaid and hunger that cannot be satisfied…   For Beluviel, consort to the Elven High Lord, and Graydon, gryphon and First Sentinel of the Wyr, even the slightest desire for each other is forbidden. But two hundred years ago, after a desperate play to save Beluviel’s stepson left them indebted to the cruel Djinn Malphas, they found their fates inexorably linked together—and the hunger between them growing too strong to ignore…   Two centuries later, with their debt to Malphas coming due, Beluviel and Graydon realize that, if they are to stand any chance of saving their souls, they must once again work together—this time more closely than ever before. But every moment they spend with each other brings them nearer to losing something even more vital—their hearts…

The sensational enemies-to-lovers romantasy debut following the heir to a fantasy kingdom, and the seductive spirit sent to claim her soul. 'I've seen monsters, Nizzara, and you are not one of them. A little beast maybe, but not a monster.' Nizzara has always been able to perceive spirits better than the average caster. When she enters a deadly tournament to end her betrothal, she's determined to win without succumbing to the addictive spirit magic she channels or taking a life in the duel ring. Finding herself outmatched, Nizzara must face her fear of power and team up with Dagen - an enemy who is half-ghost and all charm - to survive the tournament. Dagen, the last King of Zarr, was killed by Nizzara's father ten years ago. Now a half-ghost - able to phase between his human and spirit form - he is stuck in another realm, hunting wretched souls. When his keeper offers him a chance to reclaim his freedom in exchange for Nizzara's soul, Dagen takes the deal. There's only one catch: she must freely give it to him by the tournament's end or his own soul is forfeit. Perfect for fans of Fourth Wing and The Serpent and the Wings of Night, Vesselless is a spellbinding fantasy of magic and intrigue - and a tantalizing slow burn that will have you hooked until the very last page.

As supernatural forces drive them apart, Penny, Corey, and Alonso must decide what they're willing to sacrifice before more blood is spilled-even if it means losing each other.

Return to the Innverse in Fae & Fare, Volume 1, the second novel in the massive epic fantasy world that has become a LitRPG sensation, where cities are rebuilt, more chess is played, friendships are formed, intrigues grow, and the Wandering Inn…moves. The monster known as Skinner has been destroyed, but the battle still lingers for Erin as she deals with the loss of so much, including the adventurers—the Horns of Hammerad--both she and Ryoka have befriended. Yet even with so much death, life must go on, including Ryoka and Erin finding out they have one very important thing in common: They’re both from the real world. Even more: they’re not the only ones. But as much as they want to find others like them, they both also need to survive. The first thing they need is money, especially after the Wandering Inn, um…accidentally explodes. So Ryoka takes on bigger runners’ assignments and Erin…makes hamburgers. They also need to level up (at least, in Erin’s case) and get stronger, because winter is here, bringing with it new monsters, annoying snow sprites, and a dark legend reborn. Every day is a new adventure in the Innverse, but no matter what, there’s still time for chess.
