Book III of SEIZE THE DAY, Winner of the 2014 Wattys Instant Addiction Award. If you haven't read Book I or Book II, SEIZE THE DAY and CHAINS OF FATE, please do! There are spoilers ahead! **** THE SHADOWS ARE DESCENDING. After the dreadful battle with the Drakain Therin, Lannie Brackenbury found out that a malicious entity known as the Shadow is bent on destroying Etheia. With the rumor of its origin in Balua, she sets out for the desert country with her allies in the hope of finding the Shadow. Along the way, she must also convince the countries of Balua, Drush, and Tekin to abolish slavery. But what Lannie soon finds out is that abolishing slavery in Nor sent a shock wave through Etheia. Hatred for the Harbingers runs rampant, and when she meets the ambitious leader of an underground syndicate that fights against slavery, she soon understands that abolishing slavery will be harder than she ever imagined. With the oppressive Shadow lingering behind everything she does, Lannie experiences destructive, terrifying visions about Eden's past, and she soon realizes that Eden knows more about the Shadow than she lets on. Lannie doesn't know who to trust any longer. Even Prince Titus seems to be hiding something, and when she discovers a devastating secret about her future with him, it will tear her world apart. And Lannie must decide if her world is worth saving. **** Cover: Model © Angie and Jamie via lisajen-stock.deviantart.com; Background and Circle © Evey-V via evey-v.deviantart.com; edited by me

All Ed needed to become the Internet's latest boyfriend was a chili-pepper costume. But getting sunny foreign-exchange student Audra to prom will take a lot more than that. Ed doesn't know he's beautiful. But he is. Even when his crazy boss forces him to wear an "extra-spicy" chili pepper costume as part of a May 5th promotion. It was only meant to be an after-school job at a low-key Mexican restaurant; Ed never signed up for abject humiliation. And when a lovestruck girl snaps a covert picture of Ed while he serves her an enchilada, he couldn't possibly have anticipated becoming the internet's latest imaginary boyfriend. The fame is immediate and disorienting, but if it helps Ed convince quirky foreign exchange student Audra to attend prom with him, being "Enchilada Ed" might not be so bad. (Formerly Ignorance, Bliss, and Mexican Food)
