Spells and Necromancy
Candace Wondrak - 2018
For Lena, a mage in Rivaini’s College, that cost has always been great. Almost too much. It's why she refuses to cast spells when she can. But fate and destiny won’t wait for her. It will come whether she’s ready or not. And she won’t be ready, because when she gets involved in magic, bad things tend to happen. Death, an uncontrollable fire…oh, and black magic. Forbidden magic that was outlawed in Rivaini centuries ago. If the King or the High Enchanter catches wind of what she’s capable of, her execution will be swift. She knows that. Still, somehow Lena happens to stumble across an ancient tomb of heroes. Even worse, she accidentally raises the entire crypt in a fit of uncontrollable magic. Most end up being nothing more than skeletons, but two are more. As in, handsome and practically naked more. Tamlen and Valerius. Enemies from a time long past, but together they make her feel things she never thought she’d feel. Normal, loved, desired. Having thralls, being a necromancer—not something Lena wants. Tamlen and Valerius? They’re a different story. She hungers for them, and she’ll have them. Both of them. Maybe together they can stop the ancient being whose eyes are set on Lena, the old god who will bring nothing but death and destruction in its wake. Spells and Necromancy is the first in a trilogy of Unfortunate Magic. It is a fast-burn Reverse Harem romance and contains explicit sexual scenes, along with some M/M elements. It is not intended for anyone under 18 years of age.
Dragon's Thief
Lili Zander - 2018
Stealing from five of them? I must have a death wish. Contrary to popular opinion, I really don’t have a death wish. Yes, I’m a thief, but after almost being torn limb from limb by an irate panther shifter, I’ve given up my law-breaking ways. From now on, I’m sticking to the straight and narrow. Then Drakkar Raedwulf dangles one tempting, yet impossible job in front of me. Steal a gemstone from the five dragon princes. I’m not a fool, but Silas, the closest thing I have to a father, is gravely ill. He’ll die if I can’t get him the treatment he needs. Treatments that are far more expensive than I can afford with my crappy minimum-wage job. So I take the job. And promptly get caught by the five princes. Bastian. Casius. Rhys. Mateo. Erik. And that’s where my story really begins… Because the dragons are cursed, and my blood might be the secret to freeing them. Episode 1 of the reverse harem serial Blood Prophecy. Adult situations. Snarky heroine who likes to swear from time to time. 18+. ***A new episode will be released every three weeks.
