Lieutenant Selene Genji has one last chance to save the Earth from destruction in this pulse-pounding science fiction adventure.
Earth, 2180
Genetically engineered with partly alien DNA, Lieutenant Selene Genji is different from ordinary humans. And they hate her for it. Still, she's spent her life trying to overcome society's prejudice by serving in the Unified Fleet while Earth's international order collapses into war.
Genji is stationed on a ship in orbit when humanity's factional extremism on the planet reaches a boiling point, and she witnesses the utter annihilation of Earth. When the massive forces unleashed by Earth's death warp space and time to hurl her forty years into the past, Genji is given a chance to try to change the future and save Earth--starting with the alien first contact only she knows will soon occur.
Earth, 2140
Lieutenant Kayl Owen's ship is on a routine patrol when a piece of spacecraft wreckage appears out of nowhere. To his shock, there is a survivor on board: Selene Genji. Once her strange heritage is discovered, though, it becomes clear that Genji is a problem Earth Guard command wants to dispose of--quietly. After learning the horrifying truth, Owen helps her escape and joins her mission.
Together, they have a chance to change the fate of an Earth doomed to die in 2180. But altering history could put Genji's very existence in danger, and Owen wonders if a world without her is one worth saving. . . .
How far would you go to fix the mistakes you've made and regain the trust you lost? For Jade Jessup, the
answer is 2,448 miles. Once one of Chicago's significant financial advisors, Jade lost her credibility when her
fiancé (and coworker) stole millions of dollars from their clients in a Ponzi scheme. Now she's agreed to help
one of them--an aging 1960s Hollywood starlet named Berenice 'Benny' Alderidge--seek financial restoration.
Jade sets off along Route 66 with Benny and her handsome adult foster son, Bridger, who is filming a
documentary retracing the 1956 trip that started the love story between Benny and her recently deceased
husband, Paul. Listening to Benny recount her story draws Jade into memories of her own darker association
with Route 66, when she was kidnapped as a child by a man the media labeled a monster--but she remembers
only as daddy.
Together, all three of these pilgrims will learn about family, forgiveness, and what it means to live free of the
past. But not before Jade faces a second staggering betrayal that changes everything.

Playing games can have deadly consequences.
After exposing a secret lab and illegal experiments, I assumed the culprits would be held accountable. Unfortunately, I underestimated how deep the corruption within OSA runs. Instead of punishing the actual criminals, OSA expels me.
But that doesn't mean I'm giving up.
As I dig deeper into the Dumont family's past, I find a surprising connection to the present. The fae have been manipulating events far longer than anyone suspects, and the Wild Hunt is closing in on any witch who dares to use fae magic-including me.
Dragged into the fae realm, I'm forced to compete in their games where every choice could mean my death. Worse, the fae hold no love for witches, not even those with royal blood. They would rather watch us all die than see one of us emerge victorious.
With the odds stacked against me, there's only one way to save the boy whose fate is entwined with mine and the other witches brought here against their will.
I have to win.

New classes. New director. And lots of new rules.
After spending my three-week winter break under magical house arrest, I'm looking forward to returning to school. But when I get there, everything has changed.
OSA has tightened its hold on every academy and Ravencrest's new director takes the restrictions a step further, leaving me without my two closest friends. Worse, the boy who left me behind is back on campus with an even bigger surprise in tow . . . one that involves a ring.
And all that is the least of my worries.
Shifters and witches are disappearing and someone is working in the shadows, twisting magic to their whims in unnatural ways. With my own magic still out of control, my biggest issue will be figuring out who to trust. Making the wrong choice could be the last thing I ever do.
A MOTHER'S WRATH KNOWS NO BOUNDS
Watching my friends die was hard. Getting blown up right after was even worse. But that's nothing compared to waking up to the mother I never knew and finding out she's a monster far worse than anything I've faced so far.
Now, not only is she trying to set me up with every eligible demon between here and Hades, but she's busy plotting the demise of my best friend Gary-setting us up on a collision course for a battle to the death.
All I want is to escape her clutches and get back to my life, but with a supernatural war brewing that might not be possible. To make matters worse, it looks like my dad has turned into a bomb-wielding madman. With everything going to hell, all I can do is keep fighting the good fight . . . and hope this is one case where the apple falls far from the tree.

Finn No Last Name has survived the Dome, the brutal arena where powered hybrids were pitted against one another in battles to the death. But not all were so lucky, and Finn will forever be haunted by their deaths.
Now reunited with her crew and former mentor, Grim, aboard Independence, she struggles to overcome her grief and rage at the Reliance. Her new friends, Enyo and Aedan, stand by her as she pushes Conrad and her other loved ones away to pursue her new purpose: take down the Reliance and avenge her fallen friends.
Hiding away on Tuathan, the home planet of twin pilots Lex and Jax, Finn and the hybrids begin training to bring the battle directly to the Arcturians. Can her broken relationships with Conrad, Grim, and her sister, Iliana, be healed, or will her quest for revenge push them away for good?

After her perilous escape from the Janusians, Victoria Anetti is trying to live the normal life she always wanted.
She's no longer the last supersoldier in the galaxy. She's a permanent crew member aboard her uncle's ship, the Robber Barron. She's even beginning to mend her relationship with her parents.
But she can't ignore what she learned during her capture: thanks to a sample of her blood, the Janusians can take away Mahjin abilities. It's a threat to the Mahjin and the Colonies, but a thread of hope for Victoria. Not only can she live a normal life, but she can also be normal, free of the superhuman abilities she never wanted to inherit.
On their next mission, Victoria and her crew stumble upon a Janusian gunship with a lone crewmember: Lieutenant Karim, the woman who captured Victoria on her mother's behalf. With no memories of her defection, Karim requests asylum aboard the Robber Barron. But her blank mind holds deadly secrets: the Janusians' goal to neutralize the Mahjin has changed. With war inevitable, they refuse to let Colonies control the only supersoldiers in the galaxy.
And they want to use Victoria's blood to create their own.
With the help of her crew and the rogue Mahjin, Victoria Anetti is determined to rescue her father.
But Alessandro surrendered for a reason: to find a cure for the enemy supersoldiers, who will soon die because of their genetic enhancements. While captive, he learns they aren't so different from the Mahjin-and the only way to save their lives is to make them normal again.
The dangerous Janusian experiment requires a test subject, and Alessandro will stop at nothing to help those in need. Even give up the superhuman abilities that made him a hero.
Fueled by envy and rage, Victoria vows to finish his mission to save the remaining supersoldiers. But as the battle between the Janusian Union and Colonial Republic rages on, Victoria must choose whether to take her place at her father's side and become what she always wanted-normal-or remain with her crew on the Robber Barron and accept her destiny as the last supersoldier.
