When a world is reimagined…
This anthology collects three impeccable steampunk stories. Ranging from the gritty tale of battling a creature who steals the souls of others, to dabbling in the taboo art of imbuing a human soul into an automaton, and even a man venturing back home only to discover he’s been demonized.
Eighteen award-winning, veteran, and emerging authors bring you seventeen unique dragon tales that defy tradition. Winged serpents as large as continents, as well as those tiny enough to perch on the fingertip of a young girl. Dragons who inhabit the Wild West, Victorian London, Brooklyn, and a post-apocalyptic Earth. Scaly beasts who fight in the boxing ring, celebrate Christmas, and conquer the vast void of outer space. There are rockstars who meddle with dragon magic, clever and conniving shapeshifters, and powerfully exotic hybrids. Science fiction, urban fantasy, mystery, western, epic fantasy, YA fantasy…no matter the setting or the genre–here be dragons!
Join Asimov’s Readers Award winner Timons Esaias, science fiction author Heidi Ruby Miller, post-apocalyptic author J. Thorn, along with K.W. Taylor, Sean Gibson and more as they put their personal twist on the usual dragon tale.
Also, check out the authors’ behind-the-scenes articles for a peek into the creative processes that led to the creation of these “Dragons of a Different Tail”.
Sion Zona thought he at least had a sense of security in Nordica…
…Until realization strikes that he is nothing more than a pawn in yet another game
He could’ve seen Tamuria playing this game. But Nordica? Sion spent the last year believing that Nordica was the Land of Elementals. A place where elementals could freely practice their ability on their own terms, unlike the perpetual restrictions Tamuria set.
Now that the truth’s out in the open, it’s clear the Nordicans were only using their elementals for their own, selfish gain.
Then again, not everything out there meets the eye. Was using elementals and Elemental Masters really Nordica’s ulterior motive? Or is someone or something more sinister pulling Nordica’s strings?
And if that’s the case, every single elemental in the World of Eidolon is in danger. War has ravaged the region. Death is everywhere. And now, Sion must deal with not just an external enemy, but numerous internal enemies.
It’s the last Saturday in February, which means it’s time for some Saturday Snippets.
A vengeful goddess. A demon army. And a sacrifice that awakens a queen that decides the fate of the supernatural realms.
Monsters are real, and Chrystal is one of them, but everyone is convinced that she’ll be the next sacrifice to save the oracle, and all of Tora Darah. Prophecies are for pansies, and embracing her dark side may be the key to dragging herself out of this mess. Releasing the Blood Queen is risky, but a whole lot better than dying, and maybe with a little luck she won’t lose all the people she’s grown to care about along the way.
Blood Queen is the thrilling conclusion to the Divine Series. If you like hidden magical realms, fresh takes on vampire and demon lore, and heartfelt journeys of self discovery, and the messy confusion of what the heart wants, then you’ll love Stevie Marie’s world-building dark romance fantasy adventure tale.
Who needs a heart, when the shadows are more comforting.
Everyone wants the talisman to bestow the oracle’s powers to the prophesied successor, that or take the power for themselves. In a race against time, Chrystal must train herself to survive the trial grounds deep within the Underrealm, and find the seven powers to obtain the talisman before anyone else. Or it won’t just be her soul at risk, but the whole supernatural realm as she knew it.
The war between good and evil rests in the hands of a novice all while she battles her inner demons confused between following her heart or her mind, saving herself or everyone else.
Blood Rebirth is the second book in the darkly magical Divine Series. If you like hidden realms, a fresh take on vampire and demon lore, and female leads that go from meek to resilient then you’ll love Stevie Marie’s Divine Series Blood Rebirth.
