  Pixies are disappearing, and not in a good way. 
   
   
   
  The flighty little creatures are made of pure magic, making them both extremely powerful and vulnerable. A mage with the right knowledge can capture and drain them, becoming a wizard of near-godlike power in the process. 
   
   
   
  It's happened before, and it's happening again. 
   
   
   
  But no one will believe the pixies. 
   
   
   
  That same flighty reputation means nobody is taking the abductions seriously—except Kylara Diamantine, the only mage who can transform into a dragon. When a pixie comes to her for help, Ky risks everything to bring the missing pixies home. 
   
   
   
  But why do they keep calling her the 'big pixie,' anyway? Ky doesn’t mind, but it has her worried . . .

  Ryan Cawdor and his companions take the mat-trans gateway to territory that was known as Wisconsin in the days before America became the devastated Deathlands. They quickly find themselves in the middle of a savage battle between warring tribes of muties. J.B. Dix takes several arrows before his team manages to extricate themselves, and, while the wounds themselves are not fatal, Dr. Mildred Wyeth worries with good reason that the arrows may have been tainted. J.B. soon shows symptoms of a deadly infection. Their best chance is a journey of several days to where there had once been a hospital when Mildred trained there a century earlier, in the desperate hope of finding the drugs that J.B. needs to survive. When the companions make it to Mildred's old stomping grounds, they find the hospital still standing, more or less, but it has been transformed into a twisted temple at the center of an insular ville, whose “surgeon-priests” bestow the surviving medications with arbitrary cruelty.

  The walls between the worlds are thin. The nights draw in. And monsters walk abroad… 
  October 30th, 1958. France’s papers are haunted by the spectre of the Algerian War of Independence. But that still doesn’t explain why they’re silent about a child’s skeleton, washed up on a French beach. No stories, no breaking news. Nothing but a set of police photos, delivered anonymously to my hands. And bite marks on the skeleton, too big for any human to have made. 
  So my best friend, Aicha, and I head to the city of Nice to investigate. But what we find is more missing children, and an emerging pattern. One that raises some terrifying questions. Who would abduct and sacrifice children? Why isn’t the news getting out? What would demand such a sacrifice? And what terrors might it offer as payment in return? 
  We need to find out fast to save the children, if they can be saved. And maybe save the whole of France at the same time. 
  An imPerfect Samhain is a standalone novella in the best-selling “imPerfect Cathar” series. You can expect dark humour, strong language and explicit violence.

  From the iconic science fiction author of Fahrenheit 451, a chilling dystopian short story that became a classic episode of TV’s Ray Bradbury Theater.  The Playground, first published in the hardcover edition of Bradbury’s legendary work Fahrenheit 451, tells the story of Charles Underhill, a widower who must protect his young son, Jim, from the horrors of the playground. Passing the playground on their daily walk brings Charles back the anguish of his own childhood—a nightmare of vulnerability and suffering. He will do anything to spare his sensitive son from the same torment.   Charles’s sister, Carol, who has moved in to help raise the young boy, feels differently. The playground, she believes, is preparation for life, and Jim will be more equipped to deal with the rigor and obligation of adult existence by facing it.   Paralyzed by his own fear and his sister’s invocation of reason, Charles learns of a way that Jim can be spared the playground. But it will come at a great cost . . . perhaps more than he can pay.

  Have you ever had an incredibly vivid dream? A dream so real that you can feel, taste and smell the world around you? Déjà vu is a feeling which all too clearly tells you that you're going somewhere you've been before, or experiencing something you know has happened to you already. Jacob knew that his weird dreams were much more significant than that. When Jacob suddenly realises that the life he's living isn't his only life, he will have to uncover ancient truths and the schism that changed mankind's history forever. He must determine the point at which the parallel world was created; the world the other version of Jacob inhabits. He must discover who is controlling these split universes and why, before it's too late.

  They say hope is the last thing lost. 
  Charlotte Livingston might be a descendent of the last Prince of Wales, but she is every bit English born and raised. So when her father informs her that she is to go Dinefwr Castle and play the role of Welsh royalty, she thinks he has lost his mind. The castle has a reputation for consuming its English occupants, and wastelanders can smell deceit a mile away. Cross the border, win hearts, and stay alive. It is a good thing the obnoxious Commander Tatum is there to keep her safe. If only she could tolerate his company… 
  Brock Tatum has spent the past year training the newly formed Carmarthen Militia—and bracing for war. Tensions between Carmarthenshire and England are rising, and trade is under threat. Cue the Welsh princess, sent to bind kingdom and country. But not everyone is welcoming of the half-blood arrival.

He must keep her alive as she attempts to win over battered hearts across the kingdom… and guard his own heart in the process.
