"Under the right circumstances, would even a god fall?

Tirne is one of four humans rigorously selected to usher the turn of the seasons into the mortal world. Every year, she escorts the taciturn god Autumn between the godly and human realms. Autumn's seasonal stay among mortals brings cooler weather, changing leaves, and the harvest of apples and gourds until Winter takes his place.

This year, the enchanted Mirror that separates their worlds shatters after Tirne and Autumn pass through, trapping both of them in the human realm. As the endless autumn stretches on, crops begin to fail and the threat of starvation looms. Away from the magic of the gods' home, Tirne suffers debilitating headaches that return with a vengeance. Worse, Autumn's extended stay in the human realm turns him ever more mortal and vulnerable, stirring a new, forbidden attraction to Tirne.

While the priesthood scrambles to find a way to reassemble the Mirror, Tirne digs into the temple's secrets and finds an unlikely ally--or enemy--in the enigmatic sorcerer and master of poisons, Sidriel. Thrown into a world of mystery, betrayal, and espionage as she searches for the truth, might Tirne lose her morals, her hard-earned position, and the illicit spark between her and Autumn?"

Meet our UK Special Edition, Limited-Run, signed hardback of THE ORB OF CAIRADO, Katherine Addison's new novella within the wider world of THE GOBLIN EMPEROR & THE CEMETERIES OF AMALO series!

A former history student framed for theft is given a chance to clear his name through a puzzle left by the best friend who was killed alongside the former emperor and his eldest sons.

UK April 2026. Preorder now, available from all good booksellers https://geni.us/orbcairado

"Five years ago, Ulcetha was studying at the University of Cairado, working his way toward becoming a scholar first-class in the Department of History. Then a prize artifact disappeared and Ulcetha, deftly framed, was kicked out. Now he works for a crooked importer, using his knowledge of elven history to write provenances for the fake artifacts Salathgarad sells.

When the airship Wisdom of Choharo explodes, killing the emperor and three of his four sons, it takes with it Ulcetha’s best friend, Mara Lilana. But Mara leaves behind a puzzle – the one thing Ulcetha can’t resist. And the puzzle leads Ulcetha back to the Department of History… and maybe the chance to clear his name."

"Something wicked is going on in the village of Ascension. A mother wasting away from cancer is suddenly up and about. A boy trampled by a milk cart walks away from the accident. A hanged man can still speak, broken neck and all.

The dead are not dying.

When Rabbit and Sadie Grace accompany their friend Rose to Ascension to help take care of her ailing cousin, they immediately notice that their new house, Bethany Hall, is occupied by dozens of ghosts. And something is waiting for them in the attic.

The villagers of Ascension are unwelcoming and wary of their weird visitors. As the three women attempt to find out what’s happening in the town, they must be careful not to be found out. But a much larger—and more dangerous—force is galloping straight for them…"

🎂 🎉 Happy Book Birthday to Liz Colter, Author's WHEN THE WINDS SING - the second standalone novel in her thematically linked trilogy where mortals become entangled in the dangerous games of the gods. Alex Orlov's life is about to get VERY complicated.

Buy now - only £2.99 in eBook! https://geni.us/whenthewindss

"Alex Orlov is a changed man.

Not because his time in Pelican Bay Prison rehabilitated him — rehabilitation is for the guilty, after all — but because helping a stranger cost him three years of his life and his dream job as a forest ranger. All Alex wants now is to stay out of other people’s business, finish his parole quietly, and to never, ever return to the harrowing experience of living behind bars.

Goals that are shattered when an encounter with an elderly Russian man embroils him in a conflict between three Slavic gods. Conscripted into a game he doesn’t understand, Alex mistakenly believes he can refuse to play. But when creatures out of dark Russian folklore follow the gods to his small Northern California town, and then to his home with his sister and her children, the rules of the game change. Alex has looked out for his sister since they were teens and he’s not going to stop now, even if it means going head-to-head with gods.

As the conflict drags him ever closer to parole violation and a return to prison, however, it becomes clear that protecting his family may carry the cost of coming face-to-face with his greatest fear."
