Rosario Hernandez doesn’t ask for much. She'd like to sleep on a bed instead of a sidewalk, to know where her next meal is coming from, and maybe, if she's really feeling optimistic, to get a girlfriend. More than anything, though, she wants her best friend Arkay not to murder anyone— because Arkay is a dragon, claws and all.But the world is a dangerous place for a pair of homeless women, even if one has scales and claws. Arkay is doing everything she can to keep Rosa safe, but wit...

Determined to send him back to prison, Durand goes undercover as Lachance's lovestruck suitor, hoping to get close enough to find evidence against him. But the more he entangles himself with Lachance, the m...

This morning, she's setting out to take her revenge.Remishi law is absolute: any human who deals with the zader is a traitor. Any boons or favors, tricks or curses-- it's all proof of guilt. Now that the truth is out, her family has been rounded up, either imprisoned or killed for their ancestor's crime-- all except Irora....

Shine is running out of time.She’s a self-taught sorceress in a kingdom that outlaws magic, and the witch hunters are closing in. If they catch her, she’ll face slow death by torture. If she turns herself in, the best she can hope for is a long life locked in a convent.She takes a third option: she summons Tatterdemalion, the immortal sorcerer of legend, and offers herself as his apprentice.

She could sleep at night, confident that she was one of the good guys.Now she’s the unwilling figurehead of the Hoarde, and her life is a political nightmare. Her allies are playing mind games. Her subordinates are on the verge of mutiny, impatient with Arkay’s eccentricities and Rosario’s ideas of mercy. Innocent people are...
