"How did you find this place?" Zia asked the King, speaking for the first time since entering the tent. "I've been searching for the location of your Headquarters for months- years, really." Donathan admitted. "We only found it when we got wind that two new recruits would be coming here today. My men tailed them here this morning and sent for me as soon as they were certain of the location." The tent was silent. Finally Arch said thoughtfully, "You say you come to negotiate?" The King nodded. "Very well, then," Arch said, "I will oblige. If I do answer your plea, can I insure that this camp and all those who live in it will remain protected and untouched?" Donathan nodded thoughtfully. "Yes, I believe you can." "And," he went on, "can I trust that this place will remain secret to the outside world?" "My men are sworn into secrecy," the King assured him. Arch fell silent once again. This quiet seemed to last longer than all the others. Zia wanted to know what he would say, and His Highness and Jay appeared to be in the same boat. "Very well, then," Arch said, stretching forth his hand for the King to shake. "When shall we sort out the details?" Cover made by the incredibly talented @italychick

Android's are the must have item for every household. They cook, they clean and above all else, they make life easy. Built as a mirror image of humans, the only defining quality that separates an android from a living being is the fact that androids cannot experience emotions. Nora is one of those androids, and although she cannot feel, she is capable of conscious thought. While running her usual errands, she notices other androids beginning to act strangely. At first she thinks nothing of it, until a rogue android appears on the news and people slowly begin to turn against her. When the Government initiates a recall on all androids, the impossible begins to happen, and Nora realizes that everything she thought she knew, was a lie.

Lucie Montes; the most beautiful, advantaged, and wealthy heiress in the famous coastal city of Boston, has a secret. She is an empath; an individual with the ability to sense the auras and emotions of the people around her. And even though she has perfect hair, perfect skin, and an engagement to an equally perfect young bachelor, it seems to Lucie that her life is merely a perfect illusion. Milo Brooks, on the other hand; a shy, quirky private detective from London, is anything but perfect; you could ask anyone. Compassionate and smart, if not too entangled in his work, he tends to keep people at arm's length. But trying to run a PI agency with the police chief breathing down his neck is difficult. He needs an assistant, stat- not that he'd ever admit it. The two meet by chance when an acquaintance of Lucie's is found dead at a high-profile charity event and Milo is called in to investigate. But when one homicide case turns into a string of murders all over Boston, Milo and Lucie find themselves tracking down a serial killer to solve a mystery that isn't quite what it seems.

As awful as it was, it was all I had to cling to until the moment where even that got swept up under me by the vampire who I once believed would cause my life's end.

Once upon a time, in a land known as Nuvinia, there were two statements that all inhabitants knew to be fact. First, the two kingdoms of Nuvinia, Dral and Proghund, despised one another and would spend eternity at odds. Two, one should practice extreme caution when at sea, because the waters were infested with seductive sirens who would happily sing you to your grave. For a young siren named Vivian, there were also two statements that had always been accepted as fact. One, she must not reach the age of eighteen before mating with and drowning a human man, or else be cast out from her pod to fend for herself. And two, she could not kill someone, even a human, for it would tear her apart. But she has to try. Just twenty-eight days before her birthday, Vivian sets out to find her victim. A quick turn of events results in her being taken aboard first a ship captained by a handsome Dralian pirate and then the boat of the dashing Proghundese prince himself. In the days that follow, Vivian explores the human world and its inhabitants instead of searching for a victim as her family believes she is doing-and the more that she does, the more she resents what she must do in order to stay with them. As she becomes friends with the prince and the pirate, Vivian discovers that her true destiny is to follow her heart rather than please others. And if she's lucky, Vivian may even stop a deadly war during her journey to find where she truly belongs. AWESOME cover by @elphadora!!
