The waters have risen, leaving cities drowned and a future changed beyond recognition. And into that future, something new has been born or perhaps something impossibly old has been released.She does not know how she came to be, only that the oceans are her favored home...until a man from the world above nearly dies in her domain, and she is drawn toward the soft and easy life he seems to possess. But there is a price to pay for love, and in the end......you...

Not so very long ago came the Rising, and the death of the world as it was. There are old tales to be remade in this new future, and echoes of the past that resonate through time.Rich men survive in every era, and the wealthy baron they call Bluebeard is no different. He offers wealth and comfort and education to the youngest sister of a large family...but what price the keys to a kingdom?

Freshly-minted shaman Joanne Walker was enjoying a moment of quiet in her usually-chaotic life-right up until vengeful ghosts possessed her partner-in-solving-mystical-crime, Detective Billy Holliday. With Billy's life and soul on the line, Joanne is called to put herself between her friends and the legendary Black Cauldron's powers to waken the dead... ...which might be somewhat easier if she wasn't terrified of the undead. Holding herself together...

No one, not even Brandon's father, imagines he can do it not until Alisha herself faces...

Never mate with humans. Never tell them of our existence.And never kill one of our own. For time immemorial, the Old Races adhered to these laws......except, of course, when they did not.Tales of hidden yeti, mad harpies, and selkies who dared to risk all reveal the path that led to the Negotiator Trilogy......and most of all, of Sarah Hopkins, a beauty born to London's slaughterfields centuries ago, whose love for thedragonlord Janx and master vampire...

Some things do go bump in the night.Bounty hunting used to be the Cassidy brothers' bread and butter, but Chris encouraged his bright, sensitive little brother to abandon the family business for college. Unfortunately, sometimes what you want isn't what you want: with Nick's absence, Chris feels stuck hunting monsters--human and otherwise--and has to cope with their authoritative father on his own.Since Nick left, distance, resentment and guilt has...

Revel in the Chaos of the aftermath The laws that governed the Old Races for time immemorial have been broken. Ancient rivals are scattered. Friendships are ended. What was hidden begins to step out of shadow and into the light.And after millennia of imagining this moment, the Old Races discover they are unprepared for what it brings.Human magic subtly infiltrates the world as dreamwalkers face down dragonlords and Orpheus's mythical songs resonate...

Orphaned at birth, adopted by the powerful Seamasters' Guild, he holds his place there by dint of quick thinking and sheer stubbornness rather than the magic he wishes he might command. Despite a sharp mind and his best efforts, though, Rasim's greatest talent seems to be finding trouble-or perhaps escaping it just in time.No one is more surprised than Rasim when he earns a place on the fleet's flagship, sent North...
