Master and Apprentice

The second book in an exciting new urban fantasy series about a thief, an unlikely genie, a deadly cult, and an unbreakable curse.

Luck has never been on Gavyn Donatti’s side. Anyone else with magic abilities inherited from a distant genie relative would have it made, but not Donatti, descendant of a cranky, shape-shifting genie named Ian. The prince of a murdered kingdom, consumed with revenge and driven by an unbreakable curse, Ian is determined to hunt down and destroy every one of his enemies in the power-hungry snake clan—at any cost, including his life. Or Donatti’s.

Obsessed by his own rage, Ian has never really taught Donatti how to use his abilities. So, when a powerful cult of magic-users captures Ian’s wife, the princess Akila, and then Ian himself, Donatti is left alone to take on dozens of half-djinn and their mysterious leader with designs on world domination.

Facing an impossible mission, Donatti is forced to turn to an enemy for help—one who claims to know how to unlock his true potential. Trusting a snake might be the last mistake Donatti ever makes—but if he doesn’t learn to wield the power inside him, everyone will pay the ultimate price.

Werewolf Smackdown

“[Acevedo] is a very disturbed man—and I mean that in the absolute finest sense of the term.”
—Tim Dorsey, author of Nuclear Jellyfish

Felix Gomez, Latino vampire detective extraordinaire, tackles a sexy werewolf cabal in Werewolf Smackdown, the fifth installment in Mario Acevedo’s satirical supernatural series. The author’s wonderfully twisted blend of comedy, horror, and detective noir—expertly flourished in such books as The Nymphos of Rocky Flat and Jailbait Zombie—places him in the august company of Eric “Anonymous Rex” Garcia and Christopher “Bloodsucking Fiends” Moore, while earning him raves from coast to coast. The Baltimore Sun calls Acevedo’s novels, “decidedly good, unclean, unwholesome fun,” while author and fan J.A. Konrath calls them, “a smooth combination of Anne Rice and Michael Connelly, with a generous portion of Dave Barry.”

Soldier of Fortune

A disgraced soldier, a draco with attitude, and a thief who won’t let him quit. The fight for justice begins on the streets of Nike City.

Gideon Quinn, wrongly imprisoned for treason, is released under suspicious terms and sent to Nike City with nothing but a handful of starbucks, his pet draco Elvis, and a target on his back.

Gideon has one goal: clear his name and end the traitor who framed him. Nothing in that plan includes taking on strays—least of all an under-aged thief who crashes into his life, bringing chaos, questions, and—worst of all—more people.

But as danger closes in and enemies move in the shadows, Gideon must decide: continue chasing his solitary revenge—or stand up and fight for those Fortune has left behind.

If you love little dragons, found families, and unlikely heroes, you’ll be right at home on the planet Fortune.

Readers respond to Soldier of Fortune:
• “It’s been a while since I’ve been totally captivated by an SF/fantasy series.”
• “Soldier of Fortune is a rip-roaring adventure.”
• “Gideon Quinn is a “Jack Reacher’ of the future”
• “Outstanding action/adventure that depends on its characters rather than gratuitous violence.”

Fifty Degrees South

At the ends of the earth, we fought an enemy from beyond the stars.

1803. The Napoleonic War. A Royal Navy warship is ordered to pursue an enemy frigate to the frozen waters of the Southern Seas.

There it must capture the enemy ship and retrieve a mysterious sea-chest, contents unknown.

Failure is not permitted.

For the determined young captain, this already dangerous mission turns into a battle with a mysterious vessel that appears not in the sea, but, unbelievably, impossibly, in the sky above.

And the mysterious vessel is not friendly.

If you can imagine a genre blend of alien invasion and historical science fiction, you will love ‘Fifty Degrees South.’
