"It's time to expect the unexpected . . .
Death couldn't claim me, but I didn't escape it's clutches unscathed. The world feels different now, but the threat Loviator poses stays the same.
Dracul is under siege, and the humans have no clue what's waiting in the wings.
Loviator is free of the curse terms that bound her, but still tethered to her prison, sending her minions to wreak havoc on the supernatural population of Dracul. And while we battle, she grows stronger with each passing hour.
We're on a clock to find a way to lock her down for good, but the odds are against us.
I've never doubted my abilities to fix a problem before. But Loviator is more than a problem, she's cosmic chaos determined to be free. For the first time in my life, I'm not sure we can win. But I know one thing . . . We’re gonna give it a damn good shot.
Contains mature themes."
"When it rains in Dracul territory, it pours.
Everything that I thought I knew about who I am is a lie.
My life began on an Isle I didn't know existed, and now my family want me back. Not out of any familial yearning, but because of a mystical contract that involves marriage, procreation, and the fate of their Isle. They've put a bounty on my head, and my friends are in danger because of it.
I'll have to act fast, think smart, and use all my resources to save my friends and extricate myself from this unwanted obligation, because there is no way I'm leaving Dracul.
No way I'm leaving my friends and my guys. No way that I'm abandoning Ezekiel.
If only I could shake off the awful feeling that things may not go as planned.
Contains mature themes."
"Once the vampire king stakes his claim, there's no escape.
I thought I could save Ezekiel, but I was wrong. It isn't me he needs.
Ariella, the woman gifted to him by the House of Spirit, is the key to breaking his curse. I need to step aside to allow the mystical forces that bind them to get to work.
It's time to leave Branwood Castle for good.
As I dive back into my role as head of Chapter and my work on the missing people case, my friendship with Kaster Black begins to bloom into something more. And just when I believe that I'm healing from losing my place at Ezekiel's side, I'm proven wrong.
The vampire king may have allowed me to leave, but he will never let me go.
Contains mature themes."
"The Vampire king's fascination with me has drawn me into a game I'm not sure I can win.
I thought I had Ezekiel under control. That his hunger was tempered, and we had an understanding, but he proved me wrong in the most horrific way.
This is a game to him, and I'm his latest toy.
I want to run, but the hunters' revelations are shackles forcing me to hold my course and do my duty. Because there is more at stake here than I could ever have imagined.
The fate of our world hinges on the vampire king's rapidly waning humanity, and it's up to me to help restore it.
But how do you teach a monster to care? I have less than a year to figure that out . . .

"Few authors have achieved such renown as World Fantasy Life Achievement honoree and Science Fiction Writers of America Grand Master Andre Norton. With the love of readers and the praise of critics, Norton's books have sold millions of copies worldwide.
In this great science fiction novel, Andre Norton brings to new life the legendary King Arthur and the wizard Merlin in the light of modern knowledge of a lost period of history and today's understanding of science and interplanetary communication. Yet, as in all Norton's wonder novels, this is a fabulous adventure in fantasy. Here is Merlin, half star-born, gifted with the advice of an alien intelligence, given the task of renewing civilization and starting humanity again up the ladder to the stars. Here is Arthur, unaware of his stellar heritage. And here, too, is the Lady of the Lake, akin to Merlin in that she is also a listener to the music of the spheres and obedient to a celestial command post."

"A Vampire King without a heart needs a watcher who guards hers dearly, but I didn't expect that watcher to be me.
The Order of Helsing have protected the innocent from the Vampire King's ravenous hunger and cruel games for centuries.
He can't be killed. Because this ancient being has no master. Once every century he rises from his vampiric sleep to feed, and the Order assigns an operative to watch over him.
This century, I'm that watcher. I can't say I'm thrilled. I have a disgust for suckers, so babysitting vampire royalty is not on my to do list. But when the Order says jump, you don't ask why.
Ezekiel's cruel beauty makes him the perfect predator, able to reel in his prey with pretty words and promises. Tempering his hunger until he falls back into a vampire coma won't be easy. I'm determined to avoid his kill list, and with the help of the two rogue vampire hunters assigned to assist me, I might just succeed.
But the more time I spend with Ezekiel the more I'm drawn to the darkness inside him, because there's a darkness inside me too. But now that it wants to come out and play, I'm afraid it isn't just his hunger I'll need to temper, but also my own.

"Echoes of Exile reveals the seismic disruptions of twentieth-century European history through the intimate lens of one family's struggle to survive. Setting out to record the life of her mother, Ruth, Daniela Spenser unearthed personal facts and stories that additionally illuminate the shared traumas and experiences of millions of Czech, Polish, and German Jews who died in the Holocaust, as well as the stories of those who survived and lived under Communism and the Cold War. Her resulting work is a fascinating hybrid that combines family letters and interviews with deeply researched political history spanning from the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire to the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Spenser's fascinating work reveals the difficult choices her mother and family faced, the tests to their loves and loyalties, and the lingering scars of exile. Spenser recovers fragments of the past that contribute to a map of the present and possibilities for the future. An engrossing account of survival, resilience, and the enduring human spirit amid the maelstrom of Europe's savage twentieth century, Echoes of Exile will interest listeners who value firsthand accounts of significant events and who seek to understand the complexities of survival, identity, and political change through intimate, lived experiences."
