As a Sheikha betrothed to a wealthy Sheikh, Yasmina knows how to behave. She wears rustling silk, curtsies when appropriate, and frequently yells at her fourth-best maid.

But when Yasmina decides to leave Palace Djinlath and strike out for a mythical realm called Nocterem, she discovers that there are better things than being a Sheikha. #207 in Fantasy From the author of Rimwick, #6 in Fantasy

Colette has always been good at blending into the background. Even if she hadn't been born with the ability to camouflage herself into her surroundings, she would still be magnificent at getting through life unseen. She is afraid of being noticed - if someone were to get too close, they might find the freak within. However, when Gigi comes barging into her life and claims that she is the only one who can help her defeat a creature known as a Rengling, Colette begins to understand that her peculiarity isn't a burden, but a gift. And maybe, with a little practice, she can defeat this Rengling before he even sees her coming.

The greatest tragedy the world has ever known turned out to be the ultimate catalyst for change. In the wake of World War III, which decimated most of the world's population, the remaining survivors vowed to not continue to repeat the same mistakes of the past. Fortunately, they had something previous generations did not have - advanced technology. The year is 2117 and this once shattered civilization has become prosperous again. Innovative forms of technology have enabled them to abandon the old model and re-engineer a better way of living for all. Brain implants and genetic modifications have made an entire population educated, healthy, and kind. Despite the benefits of this technology, it has created some unforeseen side effects that threaten humankind's existence. When technology proves to be inept at solving the world's problem, a new hope emerges in the unlikeliest form - a young orphan girl. *** Cyberpunk, dystopian, technology, future, futurism, scifi, heroine, prodigy...

Can a natural killer learn to be human again? Regan's unique talent for murder makes her a perfect assassin. After a lethal encounter leaves her broken body washed up on a beach, she finds herself adopted by a group of teenage bodyguards. She doesn't intend to stay for long, but soon Regan finds herself faced with a choice: become a hero or stay a villain? *** The boy played with the flat brim of the cap in his hands and looked around the room. He sat back in his chair, trying to look casual, but the heel of his hi-top sneaker drummed rapidly on the concrete floor. Regan sat opposite him with her legs crossed and her hands folded on her tartan skirt. She watched him without a word and brushed a strand of blue-dyed hair behind her ear. Somehow this seemed to unsettle him more. 'Calm down,' she said. 'It's just murder.' *** Author's Note: Darkness Girl: Trickster God is represented by Louise Fury from The Bent Agency. P.S.
