Inheritance by Skye Callahan

I have spent most of my life in near isolation thanks to my father and his claim that I’d inherited a rare immune disorder. It was a lie, but I’m and learning the truth is far more disturbing and unbelievable.

I did inherit a rare trait that affects some mysterious component in my blood, but it’s nothing like what he told me. I’m walking vampire bait. Vampires are real. Not as rare as you might imagine. And not only do I smell like their favourite rare desert, they all covet the fabled strength hidden in my veins.

I’m left with two choices: Living out my life in complete isolation or relying on the strange vampire who saved me. But despite his deeply held ideals of honour, he’s still bound to his vampire nature, and a split second loss of control could make him my deadly enemy as well.
All I know with certainty, is that I’m never going to know what normal feels like.

Realm of Darkness Author Spotlight – Emissary by A.L Morrow

Realm of Darkness is now live!! and there are still more authors to spotlight.

Today, I am delighted to share A.L Morrow’s Emissary

Only available as part of the Realm of Darkness Anthology.

Emissary: An MM Forbidden Romance by A. L Morrow

Death comes for us all, even those we love.

The line between angel and demon is razor thin. Kai knows this firsthand. As an Emissary of death, darkness follows him like a shadow, leaving him touch-starved and lonely. Tormented by the error in judgment that killed his only love, he accepts an assignment to redeem himself: hunting down the demons destroying the mortal realm. But fate takes a turn, and Kai finds himself drawn to one of his targets instead.

Demonic martial arts expert Byron Black has struggled to survive his entire life. He has fought for every breath he’s taken and each bite he’s eaten, yet in the instant when his demise finally seems inevitable, death incarnate steps forward and spares him. Kai is as beautiful as he is terrifying, and although Byron suspects the angel’s interest in him is more than it appears, he can’t stay away.

Together, the pair search for answers regarding who wants Byron dead—and why—but uncovering the truth might destroy them both in the process. Can Kai defeat his inner demons to save the one that has crawled into his bed?

Set in the Star-Crossed Celestials universe, Emissary is a standalone novel featuring an array of creepy crypts and crematoriums, train-top sword fighting, an excessive number of buckles and buttons, and (of course) a Happily Ever After. It can be read as a prequel or companion story to the Star-Crossed Celestials Duet.

Content warning: scenes of violence and death, including on-page torture of an adult character by a family member.

Fire Soldier
The gods will fall. Crash. Burn. Even if it means Xira’s death.  

When Ares betrayed Zeus, he was transformed into a mortal. Aphrodite offered him one last secret gift: the fire of her broken heart. Ares took that fire and created his own empire and people. The first ones to live in the Empire of Fire were named Fire Soldiers and they were the offspring of Ares. 
 
Each offspring is born with a cursed trait. A weakness the Gods instilled to keep the Fire Soldiers in check. A leash to control those who were born to serve. But Xira isn’t interested in serving. She wants revenge, control and most importantly vengence. 
 
When Ares is slayed, Xira knows it’s time. All her training, all her sweat and fury and loyalty… all of them will be used to take the throne of Gods.  
 
Can Xira band the Fire Soldiers together in time or will the Empire of Fire fall.

Beneath the Waves of the Neversea By KA Last

One adventure. Two worlds. Three broken hearts.

Wendie feels trapped, and she wants nothing more than to escape her life in London. 

When the promise of adventure lures her from her bedroom window, she eagerly follows the boy with golden hair and stars in his eyes. Wendie falls under Peter’s spell, and he draws her to him in ways she can’t explain. 

He is intoxicating, and dangerous, and makes her crave an adventure of a different kind.

But Peter is determined never to grow up. For him, Wendie is a means to an end, a way to rekindle the belief that holds the very fabric of Neverland together. 

Until she crosses the boundary into adulthood, dragging Peter with her.

Ronan is lost. Banished from Wonderland for crimes he can’t remember. 

After being thrown into a world where he isn’t welcome, Ronan is imprisoned by Peter and the Lost Boys. They condemn him for his age and his magic, but with Wendie’s help, Ronan escapes Peter’s clutches.

Ronan clings to his magic and madness, battling his heart and his mind as he tries to stay alive. His one goal: to find his way back home.

But Peter won’t allow Ronan to leave. No one leaves Neverland unless he says so.

Forced together by a common foe, Wendie and Ronan must fight for their hearts and their lives. Will Wendie be Ronan’s saviour, or will they both suffer at the hands of Peter Pan?

Readers’ Favorite Honorable Mention and Five Star review; Global Book Award 2022, Silver Medal
Sentinals Rising is the second book in the saga of Remargaren, a vibrant, ancient world of high fantasy suffused with magic and adventure.

Jerrol Haven, having rescued the king from the clutches of the malevolent Ascendants, knows they haven’t stopped their scheming. While trying to learn more about the mysterious Sentinals he woke from a three-thousand-year sleep, he has to defend his king and country from further magical attacks.

Should he trust the Sentinals in such vital positions? Can he trust them to protect the king and Vespiri? As Jerrol learns more of their capabilities, he realises there are more secrets yet to be revealed. Maybe those questioning their sudden rise in power have a point.

Before he can delve further, a call for help comes from the neighbouring country of Terolia. The nomadic Families are disintegrating into chaotic infighting. The king sends Jerrol to investigate, instructing him to do whatever is needed to protect the Families from the Ascendants.

If you’ve read this far you deserve a gift! I have a few Audible promo codes allowing you to download my audiobook for free. You can apply for a free code here. (Limited number of codes available so don’t delay. When they are gone, they are gone!
