Eleven years later, in the city of Oxford, he met her again for the first time...

In 1870, Jack Cade is admitted to the new-breed stronghold of Pandemonium, a colony of people just like him: descendants of the vanished demon race, all of them extraordinary in little ways, and deranged in much bigger ones. There, he falls in love with Ellini Syal, a shy, insular woman who spends most of her time scampering barefoot over the Edinburgh rooftops.

In 1881, he meets her again, but has no idea who she is. All he knows is that there are dark, horribly suggestive gaps in his memory, and that Ellini is running from something she refuses to talk about. Can he work out who she is and what she's done in time to save her from the creatures pursuing her? Can he save himself from the amnesia and the creeping indifference that are eating him up piece by piece? Or is amnesia preferable to the kind of memories he will have to unearth?

The Great Ellini is the first book in the epic historical-fantasy-romance The Powder Trail, a series where the past and the present meet, part, and reunite with explosive consequences.

The Last Imperials by JLfraise

#1 in SCIENCE FICTION 2021 #1 in ACTION #1 ACTIONPACKED In the beginning, Mother Earth created seven clans, and these clans were in watch of protecting humanity and all life itself. The names of the seven clans were Ecos (E-cos), Akos (A-kos), Ren (Ra-yn), Edur (E-dor), Argi ( Ar-guy), Auriel (Ary-el), and Kuro (Cu-ro). The earth shared her power with them, and they were able to do magnificent things. As Eons went by with peace and harmony, an enemy so arose against Mother Earth, and the clan's name was Akos. Their Clan's leader KRIOS believed that their clan was stronger than the earth and could become one and no longer serve Mother Earth. He proclaimed his new revelation to the council of elders, for they mocked him and said he was foolish for if he is to remain as the leader, he must never speak of it again. But Krios resented the council and grew angry, and set his plan into motion. He gathered all of the betrayers, demons, and goddesses of the land. He gathered his army, his clan loyally followed him and willfully gave their power to him. For Krios took revenge on the council of elders first killing them each one by one. Then after he sought to destroy the remaining clans. Destruction, agony, and pain lasted within the war for 100 years. Krios only grew stronger as these years went, for he tainted the ground with Imperials blood. The last remaining Imperials went into hiding to preserve their race. Krios took over all life, for the world became lawless and he reigned king. As begins the dark days of The Last Imperials. Available in kindle & Nook also on B&N & Amazon.

And it is one nasty flame brewing in her soul. In the midst of her senior year, uncovering the truth about her parent's death and how she came to inherit such abilities, and falling in love with a nerdy activist from her school, Hunter finds herself in a battle with a supernatural flame that reacts to her every emotion. Anger, fear, even passion arouse the flame within and Hunter fights to keep her identity secret whilst also protecting those she loves. But being a hero is easier said than done, especially when tragedy strikes and Hunter is forced to make a choice; let the fire take control and seek revenge for her loss, or walk away. But mercy is a bitch, especially when there's a fire boiling inside her hotter than the darkest pits of hell. Cover by Renu Sharma | www.thedarkrayne.com
