  To save the world from destruction, a young woman of extraordinary power must join a brotherhood of ancient vampires in this paranormal romantic thriller. 
   
  In ancient Egypt, Tentyris was a flourishing city of powerful, secretive inhabitants. Ruled by the Council of the Zodiac, they lived peacefully alongside humanity. Yet today, the Tentyrians are nearly forgotten. Remnants of their memory survive only as folklore about vampires and astrology. But now a young woman named Arianna Parker is about to discover just how real that folklore is. 
   
  Growing up with telepathic powers, Arianna always knew she was different. Then she meets Maximos Vasilliadis. A Tentyrian vampire more than two thousand years old, he believes Arianna is a descendent of his kind. And he believes she is destined to save the world from catastrophic destruction. 
   
  Now, with her 25th birthday approaching, Arianna finds herself caught between warring vampires. To save the world, herself, and the Tentyrian legacy, she must learn to trust Maximos—and her heart.

  Working at a dive bar on the outskirts of Plymouth Falls, Amber Ferlund can't fall any further. But when the darkness inside her rears its head yet again, driving her out into the cold darkness of a northern winter, she realizes there's always one more level of hell. Kasperi and his fellow bear shifters have been dispatched to investigate reports of magic being used in Plymouth Falls. Now, hot on the heels of the rogue mage, he readies his weapon and prepares to rid the world of yet another enemy. But he stays his hand at the sight of the beautiful but beleaguered woman, alone in the forest, moments from freezing to death. She's no threat to him, is she? His fellow shifters disagree, but Kasperi knows they're wrong. This woman needs aid, not the blade of his sword. Together, they must teach her how to control her gifts, to use them for good before they corrupt her completely. Nearby wait his former fellows, ready to take her head for the slightest mistake, and deeper in the shadows lurks a stronger enemy, one who recognizes Amber's true potential. But, if anyone wants to get to Amber, they'll have to go through Kasperi first. Contains mature themes.

  A New York Times Notable Book • BuzzFeed 50 Books We Can’t Wait to Read this Year • New York Times Book Review Editor’s Choice • National Bestseller 
  “Brilliant and incendiary.” — Jeff VanderMeer, New York Times Book Review 
  ""Stunning. . . . Yuknavitch understands that our collective narrative can either destroy or redeem us, and the outcome depends not just on who’s telling it, but also on who’s listening.” — O, The Oprah Magazine 
  “[A] searing fusion of literary fiction and reimagined history and science-fiction thriller and eco-fantasy.” — NPR Books 
  The bestselling author of The Small Backs of Children offers a vision of our near-extinction and a heroine—a reimagined Joan of Arc—poised to save a world ravaged by war, violence, and greed, and forever change history 
  In the near future, world wars have transformed the earth into a battleground. Fleeing the unending violence and the planet’s now-radioactive surface, humans have regrouped to a mysterious platform known as CIEL, hovering over their erstwhile home. The changed world has turned evolution on its head: the surviving humans have become sexless, hairless, pale-white creatures floating in isolation, inscribing stories upon their skin. 
  Out of the ranks of the endless wars rises Jean de Men, a charismatic and bloodthirsty cult leader who turns CIEL into a quasi-corporate police state. A group of rebels unite to dismantle his iron rule—galvanized by the heroic song of Joan, a child-warrior who possesses a mysterious force that lives within her and communes with the earth. When de Men and his armies turn Joan into a martyr, the consequences are astonishing. And no one—not the rebels, Jean de Men, or even Joan herself—can foresee the way her story and unique gift will forge the destiny of an entire world for generations. 
  A riveting tale of destruction and love found in the direst of places—even at the extreme end of post-human experience—Lidia Yuknavitch’s The Book of Joan raises questions about what it means to be human, the fluidity of sex and gender, and the role of art as a means for survival.

  This collection of fantasy short stories are from the three winners of Remastered Words 2016 audio anthology, including a tale from one of our judges, Adrian Tchaikovsky with 'The Groppler's Harvest' which was first published in the British Fantasy Society's 2013 anthology. Listen as our bards regale you with treacherous journeys and fables worthy of the smallest campfire to the most renowned taverns, where sometimes only the ultimate price is enough. So charge your tankards, goblets and mugs, sit back and enjoy a fabled journey or two.Here's what some of our judges had to say:"A villain thrust into the role of hero and warriors forced to face the ultimate consequences of their actions. Remastered Words is an anthology full of surprises, twists, and imaginative stories." - Sebastien de Castell"Unsung was marvellous fun, with a terribly engaging character who I really hope effects an amazing last minute escape after the last line. The sort of story that reminds me of why I love fantasy." - LM Myles"The Weight on your Shoulder was genuinely creepy and visceral; a nice, punchy story written with elegant, spare prose. I’m generally all about the positive with spiders and the like but this was really good." - Adrian Tchaikovsky"There is a way of crafting characters where the author offers just enough of the right words to frame the essence and invites the reader to fill in the rest. The author of A God's Mercy demonstrated that talent and it was a delight. The characters were authentic and their circumstances served beautifully to illuminate them. The pacing was excellent, a languid tension punctuated with moments that eloquently added to the story rather than distracted. Really enjoyed this one." - Dave Robison, Founder & Host of The Roundtable Podcast©2016 Remastered Words
