The Forgotten and The Feared (The Dragon Queen #1)

The only way to survive is to win.

The only way to win is to slay a dragon. 

 In a realm where power determines life or death, two young women are thrust into a deadly tournament where the only path to survival is to slay a dragon. Forced to participate in the brutal Gauntlet, Amalia and Dyana enter the dangerous world of the Fae. But humans aren't the only ones being forced to fight...

Dragons, once revered as Gods, are on the brink of extinction. Enslaved by the Fae and forced to fight, they've given up hope of ever seeing the skies again.

As the two women train for the battle of their lives, Amalia Roth grows closer to stony yet magnetic Gauntlet head trainer Os, while her adopted younger sister Dyana finds herself falling for enigmatic Mirielle; a fellow Gauntlet candidate from the coastal Eastlands.

Driven by fear for herself and her sister, Amalia will have to decide whether to stay in the shadows or to accept her birthright...if she can survive the dragons.

The first in an explosive new series brimming with magic, danger, romance, sapphic characters, and a morally gray antiheroine, The Forgotten and The Feared is perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, George RR. Martin, R.F. Kuang, Samantha Shannon, and Carissa Broadbent.

Amalia Roth is dead.

She died alongside the Crimson Queen in the arena two years ago. Donning her Gray Wytch persona, Amalia and the Dragon Ryu have spent the past year hunting down the Fae who wronged her. All the while, Amalia struggles not to crumble under the weight of grief.

Across the Midheym Sea on the isle of Elysium, Dyana grapples with her newfound magyk under the guidance of the ancient dragon, Vesimyr. She quickly learns that Elysium isn’t paradise - it’s a prison. Trapped under the claws of the Dragon Regent, she cannot leave. But Dyana knows Amalia is alive and will stop at nothing to get back to her sister - even if it means taking on the Regent alone.

The rebel Mirielle has lost everything. Her life's goal was to take down the High Council, but doing so only made things worse. Lost and alone, Mirielle begins plotting a way back home, regardless of the risk.

With the High Council gone, the Archmage has risen. Storms shake the continent as the situation grows more dangerous by the day. Ur Daoine lies on the brink of civil war. In secret, the heretic Prince Nyall Drayven leads the growing rebellion. After Nyall convinces Amalia to join him at the front, a divide within the rebel factions, and his carefully built control begins to crumble.

When one of the rebels’ carefully planned missions goes wrong, a familiar face steals Ryu and reveals a truth that will change everything; someone from Amalia’s past is alive.

FROM ASHES AND PAIN, AMALIA ASTEROTH HAS RISEN.

Return to a world full of romance, rage, rebellion…and Dragons, in the stunning sequel to EC Garrett’s debut novel, The Forgotten and The Feared.

HERE THERE BE MONSTERS (Republica Helvetorum #1)

Beware the forest - that way monsters lie. 

 

In Republica Helvetorum, magic is dangerous. When witch Elsing Wylder is accused of using witchcraft to commit murder, she’s convicted and sentenced to a fate worse than death. 

 

Elsing will be sacrificed to the Mountain Gods. Every solstice, the town of Interlaken sacrifices someone to the Mountain Gods. In exchange, the Gods leave the town of Interlaken alone, staying within the borders of their dangerous mountain home. 

 

But where Elsing expects death, she instead wakes to two gorgeous males and an enigmatic, mysterious God. The Mountain Gods are supposed to be monsters, but the only torture they have in mind is of a much more pleasurable kind…which means someone in Interlaken is lying - and Elsing knows who it is, because she’s lying too.

 

As Elsing grows closer to her new companions, the mystery of the mountain begins to unravel and dark truths come to light. But what the Mountain Gods don’t know, might just kill them. 

 

Not all monsters come with fangs and claws.

Meet The Home For Wayward Creatures, a cozy paranormal sci-fi about the only animal shelter in the Galaxy and the woman who runs it. This is perfect for fans of Ilona Andrews and Molly Harper. 

Henrietta ‘Henri’ Laselle lives a quiet life in Savannah, Georgia - or so it seems. Really, she runs an animal rescue for the United Galactic Federation, otherwise known as the UGF. When Henri suddenly receives a new litter of Hellkittensvia a visit from her maddeningly handsome ex boyfriend and her sister Jace shows up out of the blue after an incident with her job, things get complicated. When those same hell kittens and Henri’s beloved cat Derek go missing, it’s game over. Nobody messes with Henri’s animals. 

The only issue? They’re going to need help - a lot of it. Because based on the glowing green goo left behind, the hell kittens aren’t just missing… they’re in Outlier territory, which makes this all the more dangerous. 

Good thing they have help from the most dangerous man in the known universe; The Dragon. Henri isn’t sure whether to punch him or kiss him, but damnit, the kittens matter more and the clock is ticking. If they don’t find the kittens soon, there will be no finding them at all. 

Follow Henri, Jace, and their crew of critters as they go on a journey through space to rescue Derek and the stolen hellkittens.
