"Her magic may be the only thing that can save a prince—and the Seven Kingdoms.
In a distant corner of the Seven Kingdoms, an ancient curse festers and grows, consuming everything in its path. Only one man can break it: Harkeld of Osgaard, a prince with mage's blood in his veins. But Prince Harkeld has a bounty on his head and assassins at his heels.
Innis is young and untested, the strongest shapeshifter in a century. Now she must do the forbidden: become a man. She must stand at Prince Harkeld's side as his armsman, protecting him and deceiving him.
But the deserts of Masse are more dangerous than the assassins hunting the prince. The curse has woken deadly creatures and the magic Prince Harkeld loathes may be the only thing standing between him and death.

"The Seven Kingdoms are in the grip of an ancient blood curse. Thousands have died. Thousands more will die.
Only one man can destroy the curse. Fugitive Osgaardan prince, Harkeld, is that man—whether he likes it or not.
But the bounty on Harkeld's head is high. He has outrun his father's soldiers, but he can't outrun the assassins who seek him—Fithians, trained in the art of killing. Even the Sentinel mages who guard him are no match for Fithian steel. Faced with the ever-present threat of death, Harkeld must learn to use his magic. Or die.
Meanwhile, dark plots are unfolding in Osgaard's gold-tiled palace, snaring Princess Brigitta and those she loves. And in the eastern kingdoms, young orphan Jaumé journeys with a band of mysterious and dangerous fighters, heading north for a purpose he does not understand.
'Epic in scope, filled with action and adventure and a long journey fraught with peril.' ~Escape From Reality

"Those who drink the water shall thirst for blood. They shall be as wild beasts.
A blood curse is consuming the Seven Kingdoms. Only one man can stop it—fugitive Osgaardan prince, Harkeld. But Harkeld has a bounty on his head and assassins at his heels. Guarded by Sentinel mages, pursued by Fithian assassins, Prince Harkeld begins the most perilous stage of his journey: entering the cursed kingdom of Sault.
But the mages aren't the only travelers heading east. Princess Brigitta, abducted by Fithian assassins, is also bound for Sault—unless she can escape. And in close pursuit is her loyal armsman, Karel.
Young orphan, Jaumé, is also headed for Sault, where he will be forced to make decisions that will change the fate of the Seven Kingdoms forever.

"Jack Schiavone wants to rebuild his life after an embezzlement scandal saw him drummed out of his high-paying advertising job. So he’s reinvented himself as “Mr. Mattress,” a discount bedding franchisee in Ebbets Beach, Brooklyn. Running a mattress store is a nice, quiet life—until Jack gets sucked into a simmering mob war that pits an ambitious Russian crime boss against a softening Italian don.
Soon everyone is “going to the mattresses.”
Jack falls for the don’s gorgeous black-sheep daughter, a legal aid attorney, making him the target of a jealous wise guy/lounge singer who’s fixated on her too. And his new store manager—the don’s gentle, stamp collecting, cottage cheese–eating former consigliere—proves as good at selling mattresses as he was at cooking the books for the mob. Then the Russians put on a show of force, and the don’s only recourse is to call on the world’s worst hit man: a mild-mannered chiropractor with an innovative killing technique.
When the smoke clears, who will be the don of Ebbets Beach?"
