Fate

by Mary Corran

Hope. Horror. Heartache. There’s a little of each fated for all of us…

Asher’s world is a small one, bound by the conventions forced upon its people by an oppressive invader. But not everyone is content with their lot…

A number of rebellious and independent women have grouped together, struggling against the might of the Grey Men. Asher is fearless but often it is too late once she realises danger is near.

Women have always been secondary citizens in Venture, but under their new rulers Venture’s menfolk too, and even the Oracle — the fantastic phenomenon at the centre of the city’s life — and its adherents are subjugated. Everyone will be forced to work harder and harder against injustice merely to pay the tithe that their ruthless oppressors demand. People are driven to terrible actions and suffer insurmountable struggles…

Asher is deeply suspicious of the Oracle but it still speaks and on Fair Day she is called to hear its message. Reluctantly she confronts her greatest fear — that the course of her life may have been mapped in stone — and a spectre from her past.

But now, what she has always feared may present an unexpected chance to salvage her country’s future.

Asher must learn to listen to her instinct and face her fears if she is to save herself and her friends. She strives to set a new precedent not only for herself but for women everywhere, running against the tide of opinion and daring to challenge the authorities. Yet great sacrifices are made if the world is to be changed for good…

Fate is a spellbinding fantasy tale about one woman’s chance to save her people from the darkest throes of oppression.

Time and Regret

by M.K. Tod

When Grace Hansen finds a box belonging to her beloved grandfather, she has no idea it holds the key to his past—and to long-buried family secrets. In the box are his World War I diaries and a cryptic note addressed to her. Determined to solve her grandfather’s puzzle, Grace follows his diary entries across towns and battle sites in northern France, where she becomes increasingly drawn to a charming French man—and suddenly aware that someone is following her…

Through her grandfather’s vivid writing and Grace’s own travels, a picture emerges of a man very unlike the one who raised her: one who watched countless friends and loved ones die horrifically in battle; one who lived a life of regret. But her grandfather wasn’t the only one harboring secrets, and the more Grace learns about her family, the less she thinks she can trust them.

For Remembrance: Soldier Poets who have Fallen in the War

by A. St. John Adcock

 

‘No Hymn of Hate is among them, no glorification of slaughter, no note of boastfulness or blatancy, but a deep love of country, a clear, rational sense of the tragedy and dire necessity of what must be done...’

 


Published in 1918, this book is a biographical collection of war poems written by soldiers who lost their lives serving their country on the Western Front during the Great War.

Written tenderly and with a surfeit of emotion, Arthur St. John Adcock, a skilled anthologist, takes Chaucer and Pope as evidence that English poets have always discussed warfare and conflict.

Some of the soldiers who perished were scholarly, who had been to good public schools and the great universities to learn discipline and the arts, and combined them in their texts. Many others were less educated, and experimented for the first time, leaving behind raw emotion unencumbered by rhetorical flourishes.

Poets whose names have lasted the ages feature, such as Rupert Brooke, among forty or so men who wrote of various subjects while on the front. Sometimes they recalled happier times, while at others they documented the grim realities of war.

The natural world, the danger of weapons and the sense of honour and patriotism all come through in the verses quoted in the book, the lives of whose writers gives a context to already powerful text.

We have an anthology here from men who did not live to see their words inside it which, a hundred year after Armistice, remains a glorious tribute to the words of the fallen.

Arthur St. John Adcock (17 January 1864 – 9 June 1930), was a journalist, novelist and poet whose books included Songs of the War, Love in London and The Booklover’s London.

The Motion of the Potion (All My Exes Die from Hexes Book 1)

by Killian McRae

Everyone knows that love is blind, but even Riona Dade knows it’s supposed to be with a mortal. That’s true even if you are a witch with the ability to magically slay the scum of Hell. Plus, when you find out your ex-boyfriend was a demon, you should probably take your lesson about falling for the wrong guy. Probably. It’s a great theory, anyway.

Marc Angeletti, a piece of forbidden fruit with onyx eyes and a razor wit, can start packing his luggage for damnation now. Riona is… wow, but love isn’t really an option for a man who’s dedicated himself to the church. Too bad nobody told his body that. The more he and the witch battle the forces of darkness side by side, the harder it becomes to resist the pull he feels. The only solution is to be a sarcastic ass, and hope she doesn’t call him on it. Or worse, hope she doesn’t have a thing for sarcastic asses.

When Lucifer himself takes a personal interest in wooing the witch, the stakes aren’t the only thing raising. As long as Riona and Marc can keep things professional and north of the sheets, no problem. Too bad both of their compasses are broken where bedrooms are concerned.

Note: This book was previously released at Pure & Sinful.

Rescued (Book 1 of Silver Wood Coven): A Serial MFM Paranormal Romance (Silver Wood Coven Series)

by Hazel Hunter

What if you had no memory? Not even of being a witch?

Templar Michael Charbon has been watching the young witch for months. Homeless, beautiful, and living in Central Park, she seems to charm everyone she meets. They shower her with kindness, and yet he never witnesses magic. Only when he rescues her from a rapist, does he understand why: Summer has no memory, not even of her real name. Though he barely resists her inexplicable pull on him, he would gladly break his vows to make her his own.

Magus Corps Major Troy Atwater is surprised to hear from Michael. But their long past together puts Michael’s word beyond doubt. Troy collects the beautiful, young witch from the Templar, before her strange attraction drives half of New York wild. A powerful warlock in his own right, Troy manages to veil her seductive appeal, so that he and the coven can help her. But a passionate bond quickly envelopes them that goes far beyond her charms.

For her part, Summer’s head is swimming. With barely a memory, she can hardly comprehend the ancient world of Wiccans and Templars. More than that she finds herself torn between two very different men. But as the extent of her powers reveal themselves and her deadly past returns in painful snippets, she finds that she isn’t meant to choose between Michael or Troy. She must have them both.


Q - If you could choose, would you want a Templar or a Wiccan?

A - Oh a Wiccan, any day of the week, and twice on Sunday. But in this series our young, beautiful and amnesiac witch doesn’t have to choose!

Q - There’s a polyamorous theme to the coven series. Care to explain?

A - That’s the beauty of the Wiccan world: they’re open to love and passion in all its forms. These series have given me a lot of room to play. But let me tell you, I take my play very seriously.

Q - What order should I read the books?

A - The Silver Wood Coven series is numbered one through five, the Castle Coven series is numbered one through six, and the Magus Corps series is numbered one through seven. Although the Magus Corps series was the first one I created in the paranormal world of witches and warlocks, you can read the Silver Wood Coven series first with no problem at all!
