  Imagine you find yourself in a world that prizes martial arts above all else, and that I am the descendant of an ancient clan who have honed their skill from generation to generation to rise to the ranks of the most powerful . . . Bet you're surprised, right? 
   
   
   
  The thing is, most of my teachers say I'm a hopeless, talentless loser. No big deal, at first glance at least. I can survive just fine without talent. 
   
   
   
  There's just one catch—I'm already dead. Or am I?

  With one look, he knows she’s his fated mate. One problem? She’s the daughter of his rival Alpha. 
  Gideon Brentwood is the new Alpha of the Talon Pack. He must rise from the ashes of his former legacy and fight against this new enemy who seems to know too much about them. 
  Only as soon as he spots Brie in the distance, however, he knows she’s for him. 
  But she’s a submissive wolf and he’s as dominant as they come. He knows he’ll break her even if he holds back. 
  Yet Brie isn’t going to back down and Gideon’s wolf can’t say no. The human half of him will have to learn control once again, because if he doesn’t, the Pack will lose more than it’s Alpha. 
  They’ll lose everything.

  Parabolas of Science Fiction

  Essays about the inherently collaborative nature of science fiction As a geometric term, parabola suggests a narrative trajectory or story arc. In science fiction, parabolas take us from the known to the unknown. More concrete than themes, more complex than motifs, parabolas are combinations of meaningful setting, character, and action that lend themselves to endless redefinition and jazzlike improvisation. The fourteen original essays in this collection explore how the field of science fiction has developed as a complex of repetitions, influences, arguments, and broad conversations. This particular feature of the genre has been the source of much critical commentary, most notably through growing interest in the "sf megatext," a continually expanding archive of shared images, situations, plots, characters, settings, and themes found in science fiction across media. Contributors include Jane Donawerth, Terry Dowling, L. Timmel Duchamp, Rachel Haywood Ferreira, Pawel Frelik, David M. Higgins, Amy J. Ransom, John Rieder, Nicholas Ruddick, Graham Sleight, Gary K. Wolfe, and Lisa Yaszek.

  The Aegis is dying, and the fiends are coming. 
  Across the Seven Isles, whispers sound of strange creatures haunting steps, of disappearances and deaths. Those rumors don’t reach the jungles of Vis, where Wax and his friends journey far from home seeking a rare treasure. What waits for them beneath the dark canopy is beyond anything they could expect, or believe. 
  As the shield protecting the isles fails, an old Guardian picks up his axes, determined to find, and finish once and for all, the reason the one he loved sacrificed herself for peace. If his efforts are too little, too late, then still more might be lost to monsters or the hidden machinations of the powerful and pitiless. 
  The Price of Peace launches a fantasy action-adventure series, where new threats and strange places wait on every page. Take up your sword, your staff, your sail and join a quest that will reveal the hidden secrets of a wild, deadly world.
