Magic destroyed the world once. Now, magic users are the enemy. To be marked with magic is to lead a cursed life.
Rosie is completely average. There is absolutely nothing extraordinary about her in any way.
For most people, that would be a blessing, but Rosie wants nothing more than to have a spark of magic, even if people say that all mages are evil.
She wasn't born with magic, though. She's sure of it. After all, she is 17, and magic always presents when you are 13.
Always.
So, when she's suddenly able to wield magic, Rosie is initially confused, then thrilled...until the soldiers come for her, and she realizes everything she's about to lose.
No more school. No more friends. No more freedom.
Her life is over...at least the life she knew.
No. She won't allow herself to be locked in a cage. She must escape.
There is one place that is truly safe for people like her.
The lost city of Toledo - a haven for witches and warlocks since before the war, and the only place Rosie can be free.
But it's only a legend. Nobody has seen the city in decades.
Can she find the lost city before the army descends upon her?

Akta is the best monster hunter in King Odgeir's kingdom. Whenever his army deals with a monster they just can't kill, he sends in Akta.
And she always defeats the monster.
Every time.
She is brave, loyal, and fearless.

Velaska agrees, but upon returning to Earth Akta realizes she's been deceived. Her body rotted on Earth for over a week and it's falling apart. Worse, she's a monster and people treat her the way she used to treat other monsters, with scorn and fear.
Now, she has to kill the king, with a decrepit body, or she will suffer a million years of torture in the pits of Hell. Join Velaska as she tries to fulfill her quest in this epic fantasy graphic novel which will have you turning every page.

Wonderland.
Dark. Grimy. Unsavory.
It didn't use to be this way. It used to be fun. It was downright enjoyable once upon a time, back when the Red Queen had her way.
When the Red Queen ran things, everybody was happy. Yeah, everybody was high as a kite all the time, seeing things that didn't exist, but at least it was a gay old time.
Since the city council arrested the queen and outlawed White Rabbit, the drug she used to lace the water supply, was banned, all that has changed. Now, the NARCOs run Wonderland with an iron fist.
Alice Liddell has joined the NARCOs, the most powerful police force in the land, to keep drugs off the streets, especially White Rabbit.
But now, a new dealer has exploded onto the scene to claim the throne of Wonderland, and it threatens the fragile peace that has existed since the Red Queen's imprisonment.
Can Alice find this new threat before it brings Wonderland to its knees? Find out in White Rabbit, the first book in the Wonderland Duology.
Alice failed.
The White Queen tricked her, and blew up two dozen NARCO officers in the process. Alice survived the explosion, but has been exiled to the far reaches of Wonderland, a pariah that even her ex-partner Dormouse will not touch.
All is not well in the Alice's old precinct since her banishment.
The White Queen's power grows with every passing day. She has corrupted Alice's old precinct, causing a schism in the department. Alice's old boss doesn't know who he can trust. The only thing he knows for sure is that nobody would dare touch Alice. She is too toxic to be of value to anyone except him.
Now, Alice has one last chance to prove she isn't worthless.
Can Alice find the White Queen before the city falls into chaos, or will she be swallowed by the sea of corruption that works against her at every turn? Find out in the epic conclusion to the Wonderland Duology, Black Jack.

A curious thing happened when Larry Lizer woke up this morning.
When he opened his eyes, he did not recognize his surroundings.
Most people would have been put out by such a significant inconvenience, but it was not a feeling unfamiliar to Larry Lizer. In fact, he had been dealing with this particular interdimensional peculiarity for a long time.
However, it will take the intervention of the angel Quieriel to give Larry Lizer the context to describe this phenomenon, and the truth of his fateful predicament will rock Larry Lizer to his core, upending everything he thought he knew about the universe.

Meanwhile, Ariel searched the depths of the ocean for Rapunzel's eye and came up empty-handed. Now, with the fate of every soul in Queen Aine's kingdom relying on her, she has no choice but to venture into the Nightmare Realm and hope she doesn't go mad, or worse, before discovering a way to save the Dream Realm.
Across the universe, the Celestial Realm erupted in chaos after Zeus's death. Now, warring factions grapple for control in the aftermath. Can Rose, Red, and Chelle take advantage of the power vacuum and usher in a new golden age for the universe, or will they be thwarted by the formidable forces that work to undermine them?
Find out in the penultimate book of the third arc, The Golden Locket.
The universe inches closer to doom.
The Dream Realm teeters on the brink of collapse. The only hope for Queen Aine's kingdom rests with Ariel and the mermaid princess's ability to navigate the depths of the dark ocean. If the fairy queen cannot claim Rapunzel's power before mighty enemies descend upon her, then all hope is lost.
Across the universe, Red rots in a celestial jail waiting for divine judgement. Chelle and Rose plot to rescue her, but their ragtag group of heroes stand little chance against the strength of the gods. Still, they won't abandon their friend to Zeus's whims, even if the odds are heavily stacked against them.
On the Dark Planet, Nimue must use all her cunning and wiles to escape the clutches of the King in Yellow before he slits her throat for his own amusement. Stripped bare and powerless, she has never been so exposed and desperate for a miracle.
Who will live, who will die, and who will go mad? Find out inside the pages of The Drowned Princess.
Death would have been a mercy.
Nimue barely escaped the Fairy Realm with her life. That was the easy part. Now, she has no choice but to subjugate herself to the Faceless Woman, a being so powerful even the gods fear her. Nimue is not one to take orders, but the Faceless Woman won't think twice about obliterating her if the wicked witch steps even a single toe out of line.
Meanwhile, Red scours the universe looking for a trace of Nimue and won't stop until the deposed ruler tastes the steel of her blade. Back on Earth, Rose navigates the aftermath of exposing magic to the whole world. Will she keep her cool with the eyes of every nation upon her?
Find out the answer and begin the third arc of The Obsidian Spindle Saga inside the pages of The Faceless Woman.

A million years ago the world ended.
Since then a group of five have kept the City running.
Now, one of them has died.
Every generation, the five most powerful people in the City transfer their consciousnesses into nubile, teenage hosts. This allows them to continue their important work of keeping the city functioning and protected from the nuclear wasteland beyond its borders.
When one of the Five dies, though, the others decide that their bodies are too fragile and decide to find new hosts earlier than usual. This triggers a competition, where children from across the City travel to its center to compete for a chance to earn a place as a Vessel for one of the Five.
If chosen, their families will be taken care of the the rest of eternity. There is great prestige in being a Vessel, along with enormous wealth for the families of the chosen, which means every participant has their own motivations for competing.
Althea is one of those competitors. She is from a poor farming family on the outskirts of the City, and with the money she receives from her sacrifice, her family would never have to work again. She is willing to risk her life for them.
So, she decides to compete, traveling from her home in the outer rings through the inner rings and finally to the center where the competition is held.
Along the way, she discovers the City she once venerated is a more dangerous place than she ever thought possible. Every turn is fraught with peril, and the competition could be the death of her, even if she doesn't win.
Join Althea for a story of friendship, love, struggle, and perseverance in the face of enormous odds. Perfect for anybody who loved Divergent, The Hunger Games, or The Maze Runner.
