"It's unlike any paranormal book I've read--very smart, very fresh, and very addictive, and very still in my mind." –And Anything Bookish In 1692, when witch trials gripped the community of Salem, Massachusetts, twenty-six children were accused as witches, exiled, and left for dead. Fourteen of them survived. The Survivors is the first installment of the tantalizing tales of the fourteen ill-fated Survivors and their descendants, who have been content in hiding for over three centuries. Isolated on a Montana mountainside, only Sadie, the rogue daughter, dares to abandon the family’s sacred hiding place. But no matter how far Sadie runs, something always pulls her back. On a muggy summer night in Tennessee, she witnesses a shocking scene that will change her life forever. It is the first in a sequence of events that will drag her from the human world she’s sought to belong to for over a century and send her back to her Puritanical family. Sadie is thrown toward an uncertain future filled with cunning witches, mysterious nosferatu shape-shifters, dangerous eretica and vieczy vampires, millennia-old mythology, and the search for her own mortality. After all… HOW DO YOU KILL A SURVIVOR? The Survivors will steal your heart and invade your mind. Fall into the pages of Sadie’s life, a world so frighteningly similar to your own, you’ll find yourself wanting to go to the Montana mountains to find the Survivors for yourself. And it is only the beginning. "The way Ms. Havard has taken the history of the Salem witches and made it her own is truly fascinating... great debut from a talented writer." –DJ DeSmyter, author of Hunted “[THE SURVIVORS is a…] promising debut and an incredibly unique paranormal romance. Unputdownable, engaging, realistic and dark..." –Fragments of Life Review Blog Can't wait to read the whole story? THE SURVIVORS is available for purchase now through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kindle, the Apple iBookstore, and

Volumul 1: Dragonii din Anador Un oraş este trecut prin foc şi sabie, demonii roiesc pe cerul nopţii, iar plânsetul unui copil și urletul lupoaicei răsună în beznă. Rătăcit pe meleaguri necunoscute şi ajungând în grija Antadorului, ultima barieră împotriva Exteriorului, Yano se alătură gărzii orașului împreună cu Sayra, o tânără cu ochi de lup, și fratele său, Hiron. Scopul lui este găsirea unei căi de a-şi proteja ţinuturile natale, dar şi de a dezlega misterul existenţei unei lumi atinse din greşeală, de care este atras în mod inexplicabil. În timp ce prințul Calindor și Lander, comandantul gărzii regale, conduc grupul pe urmele vânătorilor de zei, umbra străvechiului Anador bântuie precum un spectru asupra tuturor. După secole de ostilitate, un dragon și un demon se privesc în ochi, fiecare pândind mișcările celuilalt. *coperta creata de editura Quantum Publishers

After bursting onto the fantasy scene with his acclaimed debut novel, Elantris, and following up with his blockbuster Mistborn trilogy, Brandon Sanderson proves again that he is today’s leading master of what Tolkien called “secondary creation,” the invention of whole worlds, complete with magics and myths all their own. Warbreaker is the story of two sisters, who happen to be princesses, the God King one of them has to marry, the lesser god who doesn’t like his job, and the immortal who’s still trying to undo the mistakes he made hundreds of years ago. Their world is one in which those who die in glory return as gods to live confined to a pantheon in Hallandren’s capital city and where a power known as BioChromatic magic is based on an essence known as breath that can only be collected one unit at a time from individual people. By using breath and drawing upon the color in everyday objects, all manner of miracles and mischief can be accomplished. It will take considerable quantities of each to resolve all the challenges facing Vivenna and Siri, princesses of Idris; Susebron the God King; Lightsong, reluctant god of bravery, and mysterious Vasher, the Warbreaker.

Într-un viitor îndepărtat, un incident care a rămas cunoscut în istorie drept Evenimentul aproape că a distrus omenirea. Planeta s-a schimbat, s-a sălbăticit şi a devenit un tărâm al creaturilor răsărite din cenuşa războiului nuclear şi al bolilor ciudate şi necruţătoare. Continentele şi-au pierdut forma sau au fost înghiţite de ape, iar oamenii sunt răspândiţi pe puţinul uscat care a mai rămas. Pământul este o ruină. Existenţa oamenilor este ameninţată atât de către ei înşişi, sub forma grupurilor de renegaţi care împânzesc teritoriile ostile şi atacă aşezările Comunităţii, cât şi de creaturile inteligente denumite rut'gari. Singura speranţă a oamenilor au rămas Vânătorii, soldaţii Consiliului antrenaţi să înfrunte orice fel de situaţie. Dar în ultimii ani se zvoneşte că şi aceştia au devenit corupţi şi au căzut cu totul în mâinile Consiliului, uitând de îndatoririle şi de jurămintele străvechi. Evenimentul a dat naştere multor orori, iar printre acestea se numără şi Călătorul. El este nemuritor şi blestemat să cutreiere planeta în căutarea mântuirii. A trăit, a simţit, a văzut totul. Dar soarta încă îl evită, încă îl testează şi îl controlează aşa cum îşi doreşte ea. Iar ceea ce i-a pregătit s-ar putea să-l schimbe pentru totdeauna, căci o întâlnire neaşteptată şi un companion mai mult decât nedorit îi aduce aminte de lucrul cel mai important din lume pentru o fiinţă umană.

Un joc bun trebuie să fie distractiv, să aibă o poveste interesantă și personaje bine conturate sau să prezinte un sistem inovator care să pună la încercare îndemânarea jucătorilor. Un joc excelent trebuie să aibă toate cele trei elemente de mai sus și încă ceva în plus. Last of the Heroes, la apariția sa, nu întrunea niciuna dintre condițiile care l-ar fi putut clasifica drept un joc bun. Cu timpul, însă, compania producătoare, Arc Games Entertainment, i-a adus tot felul de îmbunătățiri, scoțându-l astfel din anonimat. Devenind un joc bunicel, acesta a început să se răspândească pe tot globul, aducând companiei profituri tot mai mari. La scurt timp după ce Marc Evans își creează cont și începe să joace Last of the Heroes, el trece prin câteva experiențe îngrozitoare: devine martorul unor scene macabre, în care oamenii sunt omorâți în fața lui de către un individ ascuns în spatele unei mantii negre. Mai mult chiar, Marc simte agonia victimelor de parcă el ar fi cel ucis. Din acest motiv, renunță să mai joace. Dar coșmarurile nu dispar, îl urmăresc chiar și după ce se îndepărtează de tehnologia de realitate virtuală. Cu timpul, învață să se descurce cu aceste experiențe, dar devine tot mai retras, tot mai închis în el. Într-o zi, însă, descoperă că acele crime nu se petrec doar în mintea sa, ci sunt cât se poate de reale. Pus în fața acestui adevăr cumplit, hotărăște să se întoarcă în joc, acolo unde a început totul, și să pună capăt coșmarurilor. De data aceasta, fuga nu mai este o opțiune.

Sam is the most promising swordsman among this year’s crop of Paladin trainees...and knows it. Brash, cocky, and unbeatable with a sword (well, almost), Sam is the kingdom of Thule’s best hope against the violence wrought by demons. The only problem is that Sam is really Lady Samantha, daughter of the seventeenth Duke of Haywood, and if her father has his way, she’ll be marrying a Paladin, not becoming one. But Sam has never held much interest in playing damsel-in-distress, and so she rescues herself from a lifetime of boredom and matrimonial drudgery. Pity that Tristan Lyons, the Paladin assigned to train her, is none other than the hero of her childhood. He hasn’t recognized her as Lady Samantha--yet-- but if he does, he’ll take away her sword and send her packing. Sam is not the only trainee hiding secrets: Braeden is a half-demon with a dark past that might be unforgivable. Sam, Braeden and Tristan set out for the western coast, charged with rooting out an infestation of demons that has made the West unlivable. As they travel, they uncover a deep-seated corruption of power that threatens to derail everything they stand for. Rebellion stirs, led by a rival faction of warriors who tempt Sam to join them with an irresistible offer. A war between men is coming, and Sam must pick a side. Will saving the kingdom cost her life -- or just her heart? Reminiscent of Mulan, but with a medieval fantasy twist, Paladin is a tale of adventure, action, and romance.

"Mooooorrrrrrrreeeeeeee, this book is like air, i need it!" @noromance101 "These chapters are written BEAUTIFULLY! You are, without a doubt, my favorite writer on this site. " @nagykt "Reading this feeds my soul." @Yrthraethra Sixteen-year-old Mirra can see people's memories. She is a Shadow Weaver, one of the outlawed, glitter-eyed race feared in her land and forced into brutal slavery as children. She and her brother Kel have escaped their fate by hiding near the frozen mountains. But when bounty hunters snatch Kel, Mirra injured and unable to track long distances will lose him unless she gives herself up to his captors. As as a Shadow Weaver who's survived childhood and whose golden-flecked irises have faded, concealing her talent, Mirra's own value is priceless on the black-market. Taken to a lawless town in the northern territories, Mirra convinces her captors to sell her to a mysterious young man destined for the same province as the officer who has bought her brother. The young man is the Kingdom's missing Prince, feared dead after his escort was attacked on an expedition. He has been in hiding, waiting for a Shadow Weaver whose skill he can use to discover who ordered his assassination. But before he will risk breaking his father's law and taking Mirra to the royal court, he must test her talent and her ability to hide it. If Mirra fails, her hopes of seeing her brother again will be cut by the noose around her neck.
