“Evocative and captivating. An enthralling tale of ancient gods, dangerous magic, family and love.” ―​Sue Lynn Tan, author of Daughter of the Moon Goddess

Two women embark on a unforgettable quest into a world of dark gods and ancient magic in this sweeping fantasy debut inspired by the history and folklore of colonial South America. 

Reina is desperate.

Stuck on the edges of society, Reina’s only hope lies in an invitation from a grandmother she’s never met. But the journey to her is dangerous, and prayer can’t always avert disaster.

Attacked by creatures that stalk the mountains, Reina is on the verge of death until her grandmother, a dark sorceress, intervenes. Now dependent on the Doña’s magic for her life, Reina will do anything to earn—and keep—her favor. Even the bidding of an ancient god who whispers to her at night.
 
Eva Kesaré is unwanted.

Illegitimate and of mixed heritage, Eva is her family’s shame. She tries to be the perfect daughter, but Eva is hiding a secret: Magic calls to her. 

Eva knows she should fight the temptation. Magic is the sign of the dark god, and using it is punishable by death. Yet it’s hard to ignore power when it has always been denied you. Eva is walking a dangerous path. And in the end, she’ll become something she never imagined.

The Sun and the Void (The Warring Gods Book 1) by Gabriela Romero Lacruz- $2.99 for a limited time.

Inspired by a classic of martial arts literature, S. L. Huang’s The Water Outlaws are bandits of devastating ruthlessness, unseemly femininity, dangerous philosophies, and ungovernable gender who are ready to make history—or tear it apart.

“This wuxia eat-the-rich tale is a knockout.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review

In the jianghu, you break the law to make it your own.

Lin Chong is an expert arms instructor, training the Emperor’s soldiers in sword and truncheon, battle axe and spear, lance and crossbow. Unlike bolder friends who flirt with challenging the unequal hierarchies and values of Imperial society, she believes in keeping her head down and doing her job.

Until a powerful man with a vendetta rips that carefully-built life away.

Disgraced, tattooed as a criminal, and on the run from an Imperial Marshall who will stop at nothing to see her dead, Lin Chong is recruited by the Bandits of Liangshan. Mountain outlaws on the margins of society, the Liangshan Bandits proclaim a belief in justice—for women, for the downtrodden, for progressive thinkers a corrupt Empire would imprison or destroy. They’re also murderers, thieves, smugglers, and cutthroats.

Apart, they love like demons and fight like tigers. Together, they could bring down an empire.

The Water Outlaws by S. L. Huang- $2.99 for a limited time.

Twice he’d broken her.

CeCe was supposed to be traveling the world, taking the vacation she had always dreamed of, living the life she’d always hoped for.
Not pushing away an ex who was determined to have her again.
Not finding it harder and harder to resist Colin at every turn.
But she was.
Finding it harder to turn him away, harder to steel her heart against him. Especially when she found out exactly why the past had torn them apart.
Because just like before she was falling hard.
Falling fast.
Falling deep.

Bad Breakup (Billionaire’s Club Book 2) by Elise Faber- FREE for a limited time.
