As a freelance assassin, Val Thorvald leads a dangerous life. She's learned not to stay in the same place for long and not to get too attached to anything. For example, she would never consider adopting a pet. But when she's searching for a missing friend, she finds an abandoned silver tiger cub. The magical feline is clearly from another realm, but Val has no idea which one or how to send it back. All she knows is that it's the only witness to her friend's kidnapping. Val can kick the butts of ogres, trolls, and wizards, but she has no experience taking care of pets-certainly not magical tigers. And as she quickly learns, the cub has teeth like a chainsaw. Soon, everything from her apartment to her seat belts to the hair on her head is in danger. But if Val can't forge a bond with the cub, figure out what it knows, and find her missing friend, more than her belongings-and her hair-may be at risk. Mist and Magic is a prequel to the Death Before Dragons series and can be read as a complete stand-alone adventure.

From highly acclaimed urban fantasy author, Joshua Bader, comes the MODERN KNIGHTS Box Set. The collection contains books 1 - 3 including Frostbite, Two Wizard Roulette, and Faceless. Start your adventure today! ********** FROSTBITE (Book 1) Getting hired to be a personal wizard for a billionaire may just become a death sentence. Colin Fisher is a young man with a lot of problems on his plate: a dying father, a dead car doubling as a home, and a mysteriously disappeared fiancée. You'd think with a magical inclination, he'd be able to turn it all around, but not so much. Yet, his bad luck appears to be on the way out when the CEO of a multinational corporation offers him a job. It's a sweet gig as a personal wizard with a fat paycheck. The catch? The paranoid CEO isn't a mere hypochondriac, he's been hexed with an authentic ancient curse. Now Colin is the only thing standing between his new boss and a frozen bundle of fangs, claws, and rage. If he can't stop the cannibal ice demon in time to save his new boss, it'll be back to living out of his dead car. That is, if he even survives the battle. ********** TWO WIZARD ROULETTE (Book 2) While working as a personal wizard for a billionaire, the stakes have never been higher. Being a personal wizard to a multinational CEO isn't all fun and games. When Colin's not busy with assassins and his own inner demons, there's amnesia potions and odd jobs like hunting down a serial criminal or two. If the billionaire boss was bad, the relationship between Colin and his demon-blooded girlfriend Veruca has been downright turbulent since last winter's freak blizzard. It doesn't make the situation any easier that his favorite FBI contact looks exactly like his missing, presumed dead, fiancé. All of that would be enough to keep Colin busy. But when a dangerous gambler with magical powers of his own, and his demoness consort, start fleecing Vegas casinos for millions, Colin finds himself trapped in a high stakes game of two wizard roulette. ********** FACELESS (Book 3) The Race is on to Save Colin and Bring Him Back from the Beyond. Even if being a personal wizard to a powerful CEO has its perks, Colin Fisher's body and soul have paid for these benefits with every case. From stopping a crime spree by a demon pact wizard to killing a relentless ice demon, he's been on the job. Yet he still doesn't know what happened to his fiancée on the night he gained his magic. To solve that mystery, he will have to pay the highest price yet. On the floor of his arcane sanctum, in a self-induced coma, he's trying to peel back the layers of time and solve the enigma. But if he does, he may never wake up. Meanwhile, the two women who love him have their hands full trying to keep him alive while he's on his spirit journey. Veruca Wakefield, demon blooded assassin, and Andrea Deveraux, FBI trained agent, will have to work together if they are to defeat both threats and save Colin. ********** "This fantastical thrill ride is filled with perfectly timed pop-culture references, stunning plot twists, and the snarky (and sometimes offensive) stylings of Colin's inner voice. Well-researched and creatively presented humor and action perfectly blend with moral quandaries in this outstanding debut."" - Publisher's Weekly Starred Review ★★★★★ "Bloody action underscores a plot in FACELESS in which...everything works well together to pave the way for future installments." - Publisher's Weekly ★★★★★

Babylon under Western Eyes examines the mythic legacy of ancient Babylon, the Near Eastern city which has served western culture as a metaphor for power, luxury, and exotic magnificence for more than two thousand years. Sifting through the many references to Babylon in biblical, classical, medieval, and modern texts, Andrew Scheil uses Babylon's remarkable literary ubiquity as the foundation for a thorough analysis of the dynamics of adaptation and allusion in western literature. Touching on everything from Old English poetry to the contemporary apocalyptic fiction of the "Left Behind" series, Scheil outlines how medieval Christian society and its cultural successors have adopted Babylon as a political metaphor, a degenerate archetype, and a place associated with the sublime. Combining remarkable erudition with a clear and accessible style, Babylon under Western Eyes is the first comprehensive examination of Babylon's significance within the pantheon of western literature and a testimonial to the continuing influence of biblical, classical, and medieval paradigms in modern culture.

I was five when the dragons first appeared ... and the lights went out for good. From former army officer William Stacey comes Source Mage, the first book in an exciting new blend of urban fantasy and military adventure. Now, eighteen years after the cataclysmic appearance of the four great dragons over Mount Fuji, humanity shares a shattered Earth with the Fey--fairies, elves, and other supernatural creatures. Trust is short, magic is common, and each day is a struggle for survival in the Awakened World of 2053. *** I'm Angie Ritter, a former army mage who can't cast spells anymore. I have some issues. I'm working on them. Unfortunately, the army wasn't willing to wait for me to get better and gave me the boot. Now, I survive day by day in Sanwa City, a walled settlement in southern California, doing menial labor and pretty much hiding from the world. Without my magic, I can't help myself, let alone anyone else, but when my old army buddy Erin--an elite werewolf shock trooper--comes to me for help, I can't say no. Now, I just need to pull myself together--and fast. Because someone's hunting werewolves, and Erin is their new prey. And if I get in their way, they'll carve me up too. Thing is, I'm done with hiding. And something has changed. Something amazing. *** Warning: Contains scenes of sexual situations, realistic violence, and soldiers talking like soldiers. If you like Myke Cole, Michael Anderle, K.F. Breene, and Shayne Silvers, you'll love this exciting new series.
