When danger threatens, a princess will rise to the challenge.

The Middle Kingdom of Talheim has enjoyed peace for decades. But with the threat of war rising from the ruthless South, the dream of a quiet life is fading. And for the noble but naïve Princess Cistine, that means embarking on a dangerous quest to the Northern Kingdom, where she hopes to forge an alliance against their southern foes and save her people.

But when Cistine is captured by an outlaw and his band of cutthroat warriors, she finds a more deadly adventure than she bargained for - and a greater power within herself than she ever knew.

Swept up in the unpredictable tide of a tenuous and shadowy political climate, a ruthless land governed by the stars, and the unexpected revelations that come from her mysterious new companions, Cistine must learn how to fight, how to lead...and above all, how to trust herself.

If the young princess can't be forged into a fighter, then her kingdom will fall.

Some fire burns hotter in the darkness...

For readers who enjoy Deborah Harkness's mix of history and the supernatural, Anne Rice's morally complex vampires, and Leigh Bardugo's sharp, contemporary dialogue comes a darkly captivating vampire tale that blends genres as skillfully as it blends gothic romance, danger and desire.

Erin Conrad has learned to live with the fire that burns in her blood – a rare gift that makes her a vân?tor, capable of sensing and destroying the vampires that stalk her city. By day, she pours lattes at the bookish coffee shop she co-owns. By night, she hunts, chasing justice, vengeance, and sometimes just survival. But every kill leaves her a little more hollow, a little more haunted by what she's becoming.

When her best friend is found dead, his death staged to look like suicide, Erin refuses to accept the lie. As more bodies fall, she follows a bloody trail that leads to two ancient vampires – and discovers someone is recreating their most infamous kills, with her friends as victims.

Her search seems hopeless, until a mysterious Scotsman appears when she needs him the most. Despite everything she knows about trusting strangers, Erin feels an undeniable pull toward him – a connection that threatens to unravel everything she believes about herself and her purpose.

Caught between powerful vampires with their own dark history, Erin must confront long-buried truths while a killer shadows her every move. As passion ignites between unlikely allies, she faces an impossible choice: cling to the vengeance that's defined her, or risk everything for a love that could destroy her – or finally make her whole.

The Gloaming is the first book in the Blood of the Revenants series.

PRAISE FOR ENVY OF ANGELS:

"Matt Wallace tells a raucous, riotous tale of culinary madness - a jaw-dropping horror-fantasy restaurateur Thunderdome that makes the 'monkey brain' scene in Temple of Doom look like something you'd see on Nickelodeon. It's like I dropped a heroic dose of acid and turned on the Food Network for eight hours. It's funny and demented and sticks in you like a pinbone. Matt Wallace writes like someone just jammed a needle full of adrenaline in his heart - and then, in yours. From this point forward, I'll read anything this guy writes." — Chuck Wendig, author of Blackbirds and Zer0es

"No one makes me think, 'Dammit, I should have thought of that!' like Matt Wallace. The Sin du Jour series is something I read with equal amounts of envy and delight." — Mur Lafferty, Campbell Award winning author of The Shambling Guide to New York City

"Envy of Angels is one of the most original urban fantasies I've read in a damn long time. Angels, demons and the New York restaurant scene. It doesn't get any weirder than this. Matt Wallace is an author to watch." — Stephen Blackmoore, author of Dead Things and Broken Souls

"Envy of Angels is exactly the breath of fresh air I didn't know I needed: darkly funny, sweepingly inventive, and just plain fun to read. Every time I thought I got the hang of this book, the next turn took me someplace even more breathtakingly weird and wonderful. Buy it. DO IT NOW. It's the only way we can force him to write a dozen more of these!" — Andrea Phillips, author of Revision

*All Marisa's books are on sale now!*
I expected to start normal college, but instead… I wound up sprouting fur.

The one thing about growing up an orphan was that life sucked, but at least it was my kind of sucky. It was simple, ordinary… predictable.

Until the night I woke up naked in a dark forest, surrounded by a trio of powerful shifters who plucked me from my miserable existence to tell me I’m some sort of supernatural monster.

Now I’m taking a crash course in Werewolf 101 at some freaky, secret academy. Not to mention I can’t get my mind off an infuriating, yet gorgeous (and off-limits) lion shifter who loves yoga and calling me “poodle”.

If I can’t get my shift together in this world of underground societies and scandal, I’m going to be up a creek without a doggy-paddle. Especially when a rare ability emerges within me. The last shifter who had this so-called gift wound up dead, and if anyone finds out I possess it, so will I.

Now wolfy and I must step up our game and quit tripping over our own tail.

Life is never going to be normal again.

**FINALIST for BFS Award for Best Horror Novel, 2023**

Folk horror meets ancient gods in a remote snowbound Peak District town where several murders take place…
---

In a lonely village in the Peak District, during the onset of a once-in-a-lifetime snow storm, Constable Ellie Cheetham finds a body. The man, a local ne'er-do-well, appears to have died in a tragic accident: he drank too much and froze to death.  

But the facts don't add up: the dead man is clutching a knife in one hand, and there's evidence he was hiding from someone. Someone who watched him die. Stranger still, an odd mark has been drawn onto a stone beside his body. 
 
The next victims are two families on the outskirts of town. As the storm rises and the body count grows, Ellie realises she has a terrifying problem on her hands: someone – or some thing – is killing indiscriminately, attacking in the darkness and using the storm for cover. 

The killer is circling ever closer to the village. The storm's getting worse... and the power's just gone out.
