When a dragon destroys Quen’s village, she joins the dragon hunt but soon discovers SHE is the hunted.

Quen works for her father, tanning hides and waiting for her tides to turn. Everyone she grew up with has already committed to a herdclan. But Quen was born cursed with a second, shadow soul.

For within Quen beats a second heart, and only one of her souls will survive this Season of the Dragon.

Can Quen overcome her curse and unite her warring souls? Or will her shadow soul consume her and everyone she loves?

The fate of her homeland and everyone she loves hangs in the balance.

SPFBO 9 SEMIFINALIST

The island nation of Ferranda is the jewel of the Acrarian Kingdom, and its Founder, Aritz a Mata, is revered as a god amongst men. But twenty-five years ago, Aritz was merely a man, a colonizer, an Invader seeking glory and fame in the name of his King and Queen, and Ferranda was a nameless union of indigenous Tribes, reverent of the heightened powers and aptitudes granted to them by their Animal Deities, but sundered by the foreigners claiming their lands to the south.In the unconquered north, the Stone Tribe has for fifteen years offered a safe haven for the southern Tribes displaced by Aritz's Invaders, whose occupying march north has been ostensibly halted by a dense forest barrier dividing north and south. Among the Stone people lives Sen, an outcast for the circumstances of her birth, preserved in society only by her status as daughter of her Tribe's Chief. Forever relegated to the fringes of society, she is forced to watch as countless of her kin, including her sister and brother, complete their rites of passage into adulthood and accordingly earn their aptitudes by the Deity to whom they share an affinity - the Bear, the Wolf, or the Owl.Despite this, Sen finds comfort in her life of forced solitude with her close inner circle, but hers is a comfort in days of waning tenuous peace. When Aritz's technologically-advanced forces push north, Sen is thrust into a singular quest to rescue one of her precious few captured in the ensuing struggle. While her goal is earnest - save someone dear to her and prove her worth to her Tribe - her people's goal is far more dire: survival in the face of uncertainty.

I’m Val Thorvald, and I’m an assassin.

When magical bad guys hurt people, I take care of them. Permanently.This doesn’t make me popular with the rest of the magical community—as you can tell from the numerous break-ins and assassination attempts I’ve endured over the years. But thanks to my half-elven blood, a powerful sword named Chopper, and a telepathic tiger with an attitude, I’ve always been able to handle my problems with aplomb. Maybe some cursing and swearing, too, but definitely aplomb.That changes when my boss is afflicted with a mysterious disease, a government agent starts investigating me, and a godforsaken

dragon

shows up in the middle of my latest job.I’ve taken down vampires, zombies, and ogres, but dragons are way,

way

more powerful. And it doesn’t look like this one is going to like me.Worse than that, he wants to use his magic to compel me to do his bidding, as if I’m some weak-minded minion.That’s

not

going to happen. I’d die before being some dragon’s slave.But if I can’t figure out a way to avoid him, save my boss, and get rid of the government spook, I’m screwed. Or dead. Or screwed

dead. And that’s never comfortable.Pick up

Sinister Magic

today to see if I make it. Even if you don’t care about me, I promise the tiger is cool.
