A SHIP JOURNEY & A TALE OF TREASON

After an unfortunate string of accidents delay their voyage to Arecia, General Justine Lan and her Arecian counterpart, Gabriel Stoneworth, are forced to travel together in the week-long journey. 

Rather unfortunately, the two had detested each other from the moment they'd met. Sometimes they couldn't even remember what had started the avid dislike. Perhaps it was each other's attitudes. Perhaps it was because they clearly were playing at different games here. Or perhaps it just couldn't be explained.

But no matter. They just needed to survive their journey to Arecia. Fortunately, they're accompanied by old friends: the Earl and Countess of Farnsworth, Marcus and Cassalyn; and the Viscount and Viscountess of Archsham, Laurence and Ciri. 

Except... someone seems to be after them. Turns out, the ship they're travelling holds information of treason and tales of betrayal, and someone wants to silence them before they could pass anything on.

But surely, with two battle-experienced generals and four spies, nothing could go wrong?

of mist and power by nyxiekitsune

A PLOT, A COUNTESS AND AN HEIR Myrina Mai, Countess of Li Han, is in trouble. With her close friend and confidante Princess Irina now married in another country, all she wishes is to retire back to her own land and regain control of her own estate. However, her power-hungry uncles are doing all they could to block her return. With no one else to turn to, she requests superior and rival, Crown Prince Ryan Gu, for assistance. And who was Ryan to refuse? For the past decade of his life, he'd wondered what happened to the girl Myrina used to be. The girl she was before her father died and Myrina was forcefully kept in the Scarlet Palace, playing the games she never wanted to. She was free to go now, and he was not one to refuse her, even if he'd always secretly hoped she'd stay. Throw that in with an assassin after his life, his recent discovery that Myrina was secretly wiccai, and a traitor running amongst their midst-the two have plenty in their hands. And as the schemes stack up and the scent of treachery grows, Myrina wonders if leaving would be easy as she thought it was before.

But he'll take the chance to reconcile with her and try to put their past behind them. It won't be easy, though, with their cunning enemy seeking ways to silence Cass and her own refusal to let anyone in again.

It's time for her to go back, return to the life she used to live. And when the children of a prominent, upcoming politician are kidnapped, she knows she's the right person to retrieve them. She just didn't expect the case to have an uncanny link to her, or that the boy who broke her heart all those years ago to be working on it too. Louis Sanchez had spent the past seven years living in varying degrees of guilt. Ever since that fateful day, he'd almost barely caught a single glance at her. And after a year of radio silence from Io after the war ended, he was almost starting to lose hope. But then, there she was: in all her glory, working on the same case as he was. The war may have ended, but the grudges and blood debts hadn't been paid yet. And as they investigate deeper and deeper into this strange web of lies, deception, corruption and blackmail, old secrets and skeletons long buried slowly rear their heads. History was always doomed to repeat itself, isn't that how it goes?

Chartreuse ® ~ A Universal Solution* *if used as directed In an alternate dimension similar to our own, the mobile city of Neo-York is held hostage by its oppressive warden, a mysterious woman known only as "Big Sister." Little is known about Big Sister, but her rule is absolute, secured by synthetic military forces and advanced citywide surveillance. Those who oppose her are vaporized, their existence wiped from history. Neo-York citizen Nova Herdeem has had enough of living in fear. At great personal risk, she procures the assistance of the Negotiators: a trio of unlikely allies comprised of a samurai, a vampire, and a cyborg. Armed with their collective skill sets and Nova's knowledge, the Negotiators agree to end the tyranny of Big Sister. As they proceed in their reconnaissance, the Negotiators discover that there is far more to Big Sister than a power-hungry dictator, and the omnipresent and multifaceted product line known as "Chartreuse" may be the very key to her rule. || George Orwell meets Philip K.

where the thorns grow by nyxiekitsune

WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE IS INVITED STRAIGHT INTO THE HEART OF YOUR HOUSE? Seven years ago, Rhysa Jiang ran. She buried her past, chose to start over from a clean slate. She became a near legend, the only female Iron Wolf, deciding to become something new. They've hunted her down ever since, and until now she'd managed to evade their search. But now they've been invited to Sai. The Scarlet Palace. Her only home, her safe haven. And Rhysa has a suspicious feeling she's not going to be able to escape the Falcons' grasp this time. After all, she's a deserter, and those pay in blood around here. Dominic Lang had learnt long ago that Rhysa's past was something that shouldn't be dug up. Sure, he had his suspicions, but after being partners for six years, you learnt to trust someone. And if there was one thing he knew about Rhys, it was that the girl was fearless. So her sudden terror makes no sense. Her sudden caution, her sudden reluctance to even show her face in public is completely baffling. And he'll get to the bottom of this. Because Rhysa Jiang had been hiding the entirety of herself from him for too long, because there was nothing he loved more than a good mystery and challenge, and Rhys might just be the biggest one of all. It was just what friends do. (book #1 of 4 in the court of bones series, the third instalment in the silk and steel chronicles can be read as a stand-alone)
