For the warriors of Geatland, there is nothing greater than glory. For Brynhildr, daughter of Geatland's king, it is the only way to prove herself. Born with a freakish appearance, Bryn bears an eerie resemblance to the trolls, the vicious monsters that have terrorized her father's lands for generations. And with the trolls' sudden disappearance in the year of her birth, Bryn has had to endure the brunt of her people's fear and hatred all her life. Haunted by malicious rumors and angry at the world, Bryn only wishes for the glory that will earn her father's acceptance. But glory comes at a heavy price, one that Bryn discovers she may not be willing to pay... "Let whoever can, win glory before death.

Dragons used to hunt the skies. Now they're the hunted. In the kingdom of Blackthorne, every dragon wears a collar around their neck, a visual symbol of their oppression. Their magic and their dragon form have been taken from them, yet though they look like humans, they live like second-class citizens. Worse, the king has started ordering their arrest, and nobody knows what happens to the dragons after the king's men take them. When her father is arrested, Wynne Pendragon decides to take action. She's going to bring her father home no matter what the cost--even if that means resorting to violence.

"A girl with hair white like snow, and skin as pale as the moon's midnight glow. Holding eyes as blue as the arctic sea; she will come forth and set us free..." Lera Everhart is a girl trapped inside her mother's expectations and dreams. And finding a dragon in the woods she called her home wasn't on her day plan. Thrust into a land where tribes are waging war over Dragon Riders and the existence of Dragons themselves, poor Lera just wishes she was back home dealing with the simple problem of avoiding her family... if you could even call them family. A cool, dark boy mystifies yet frightens her with his bi-polar mood swings which he claims are only skin deep. One minute he seems to ignore her, the next he's as possessive as a mother bear protecting her cubs. Quickly thrown into a world where myths and legends that aren't supposed to exist are part of everyday life, she's quickly torn on which side to choose: her old, mundane life? Or the life of a heroine.

Book II of SEIZE THE DAY, Winner of the 2014 Wattys Instant Addiction Award. If you haven't read Book I, SEIZE THE DAY, please do! There are spoilers ahead! **** Lannie Brackenbury never thought she would be sent on a dangerous quest to save the world. But after she discovered her destiny as a Harbinger, that idea took a drastic twist. Bestowed with abilities that she is still learning to use, Lannie is sent on a journey that will take her across Etheia, where she must negotiate a peace treaty between the magical kingdom of Eremith and the human kingdom of Nor to break the vicious cycle of slavery. But making peace in the world of Etheia is not as easy as it seems. Therin, the bloodthirsty Drakain that ruined Lannie's life, is still moving in the shadows, convincing the world to doubt the existence of the Harbingers. And when a terrifying beast cloaked in darkness attacks Lannie, she realizes that defeating Therin is the least of her worries. Humans and magical creatures are on the brink of another war. This time, it is far more dangerous than Lannie could ever have imagined. There is a dark force at work that is bent on destroying not only Nor, but Eremith as well. And it will take everything that Lannie has to stop it. ---- Cover: Model © Ylenia Manganelli via PrincessandDragon.deviantart.com; Background © Sean & Ashlie Nelson via AshenSorrow.deviantart.com; edited by me

Not all fairytale princesses are as sweet and innocent as the stories make them out to be. Secrets, darkness. Both take their root in hearts that waver and are unsure of their destinies. Just because someone is born from good people doesn't mean they are pure of all sin. Estelle, the daughter of Ella and Henri from the famous "Cinderella" tale, grew up afraid. Not afraid of the outside world, as the palace was always very protected. No, she was afraid of herself and the darkness she saw when she looked in the mirror. But the fear only feeds the darkness, and soon she finds herself with powers she doesn't even know why she has, let alone how to control them. But, as Stella tries to unravel what she's becoming with the help of her closest friends in the secret club they created years ago, The Damsel Society, she's tossed into a whole new world of danger, one she never expected to get lost in. Sometimes, wars are much bigger that between kingdoms. Good versus Evil is a battle that fights in each of us. Only we can choose which side wins, in the end. But if she is the only one able to make the decision, who are the voices Stella hears every time her powers are released? --- Beautiful cover by @modernism
