They came to earth--Pestilence, War, Famine, Death--four horsemen riding their screaming steeds, racing to the corners of the world. Four horsemen with the power to destroy all of humanity. They came to earth, and they came to end us all.

He’s known by many names: Thanatos. Horseman. God’s last angel. And then, of course, there's the one I’m all too familiar with—

Death.

The day Death comes to Lazarus Gaumond’s town and kills everyone in one fell swoop, the last thing he expects to see is a woman left alive and standing. But Lazarus has her own extraordinary gift: she cannot be killed—not by humans, not by the elements, not by Death himself.

She is the one soul Death doesn’t recognize. The one soul he cannot pry free from her flesh. Nor can he ignore the unsettling desire he has for her. Take her. He wants to, desperately. And the longer she tries to stop him from his killing spree, the stronger the desire becomes.

When Lazarus crosses paths with the three other horsemen, an unthinkable situation leads to a terrible deal: seduce Death, save the world. A hopeless task, made all the worse by the bad blood between her and Thanatos. But Death’s attraction to her is undeniable, and try though she might, Lazarus cannot stay away from that ancient, beautiful being and his dark embrace.

The end is here. Humankind is set to perish, and not even the horsemen can stop Death from fulfilling his final task.

Only Lazarus can.

Jeanne Froidelac wird ihr Leben verlieren. Denn genau das ist die Bestimmung aller einfachen Sterblichen im Reich Magna Vampyria, über das seit 300 Jahren Ludwig XIV. herrscht. Während der Vampir-Adel sich am Hof der Finsternis in Versailles der Dekadenz, der Prunksucht und dem Blutrausch hingibt, müssen einfache Menschen wie Jeanne ihr Blut als Steuer abgeben.
Doch eine schreckliche Tragödie, bei der ihre gesamte Familie grausam getötet wird, sorgt dafür, dass ausgerechnet Jeanne für die junge Adelige Diane de Gastefriche gehalten und nach Versailles gebracht wird. An der Schule des Großen Marstalls soll sie ‒ zusammen mit den Töchtern und Söhnen der angesehensten Familien von Magna Vampyria ‒ unterrichtet werden, bevor sie offiziell am Hof debütieren darf. Vorausgesetzt, Jeanne überlebt die gefährlichen Prüfungen und die Missgunst ihrer Mitschüler! Um ihre Tarnung zu wahren, darf sie niemandem vertrauen ‒ auch nicht Tristan de Roncière, dem Schwarm aller Schülerinnen, der ein rätselhaftes Interesse an Diane de Gastefriche hat. Doch ob er auch Jeanne Froidelac lieben wird?

The Sukai Dynasty has ruled the Phoenix Empire for over a century, their mastery of bone shard magic powering the monstrous constructs that maintain law and order. But now the emperor's rule is failing, and revolution is sweeping across the Empire's many islands.

Lin is the Emperor's daughter, but a mysterious illness has stolen her childhood memories and her status as heir to the empire. Trapped in a palace of locked doors and old secrets, Lin vows to reclaim her birthright by mastering the forbidden art of bone shard magic.

But the mysteries behind such power are dark and deep, and wielding her family's magic carries a great cost. When the revolution reaches the gates of the palace itself, Lin must decide how far she is willing to go to claim her throne - and save her people.

The Bone Shard Daughter is an unmissable fantasy debut for 2020 - a captivating tale of magic, revolution and mystery, where a young woman's sense of identity will make or break an empire.

She survived her first year at Basgiath War College . . . but the danger is only beginning.

Everyone expected Violet Sorrengail to die during her first year at Basgiath War College, Violet included. But Threshing was only the first impossible test meant to weed out the weak-willed, the unworthy, and the unlucky.

Now the real training begins, and Violet's already wondering how she'll get through. It's not just that it's grueling and maliciously brutal, or even that it's designed to stretch the riders' capacity for pain beyond endurance. It's the new vice commandant, who's made it his personal mission to teach Violet exactly how powerless she is - unless she betrays the man she loves.

Although Violet's body might be weaker and frailer than everyone else's, she still has her wits, and a will of iron. And leadership is forgetting the most important lesson Basgiath has taught her: Dragon riders make their own rules.

But a determination to survive won't be enough this year.

Because Violet knows the real secret hidden for centuries at Basgiath War College - and nothing, not even dragon fire, may be enough to save them in the end.
