Black Keys (The Colorblind Trilogy Book 1)

About Black Keys (The Colorblind Trilogy Book 1):

To save a stranger’s life, she put her own in the hands of a man who represented everything she loathed.
Young CEO Marie Archer was shocked when her brother, Joseph, returned from the Middle East with a contract for a new office in the Kingdom of Alfaidya, a royal fiancée, and a wedding four days away.
Despite her concern over his rush to get married, there was nothing Marie wouldn’t do for Joseph. She silenced the alarm bells echoing in her head and traveled halfway across the world with him to attend the wedding.
The language barrier in Alfaidya disoriented Marie, and she was bewildered when traditions demanded her involvement in the ceremony as the groom’s sister.
The bride’s brother, Crown Prince Mazen Alfaidy, fascinated Marie; a breathtakingly handsome man with mysterious eyes, his silent attentions to her only increased her confusion.
The last thing she expected was the brutal betrayal by her beloved brother, forcing her into an arranged marriage with Prince Mazen to seal a Sisters Trading deal.
Confined in the palace with a perfect stranger – a husband she doesn’t know or trust – Marie’s life is riddled with lies and secrets. Royal intrigue, traditions, and rules have put her in danger. Now, the new princess has a lot to learn, and many black keys to find.
Can she open her heart to a world so unlike her own, or will her prejudices prevent her from finding happiness?
Because when it comes to love, rules blur and traditions fade.

Fire Born Dragon by Elizabeth Rain

About Fire Born Dragon by Elizabeth Rain:

I ran up Shephard’s Mountain to escape the Monsters that were chasing me…
…and the Demons that were haunting my memories.

Instead, I fell into a world where Magic is the New Black and the Challenges I face have nothing to do with curling irons and study groups.

Drae Hallow is the home of Rule 9 Academy where nobody is normal and we’re all a little bit of strange.

They’ve invited me to attend their School for Magicals. Apparently, there’s something inside of me and it wants to come out to play. But I need to learn to control it before it controls me.

I’m game…

After all, I might be my Momma’s trouble; but I’ve always been my Daddy’s stubborn.

I’ll need every bit of it too, because something else roams the woods after dark, and it doesn’t have anything to do with Shifting 101.

Together, with the help of others just like me, we’ll have to uncover the lies before it’s too late. The Magical world depends on us to find out the truth…or its Lights Out, Dark Ages and Witch Hunts all over again.

If I’m not careful, my first semester might just be my last.

Fire Born Dragon will resonate with fans of BR Kingsolver and G.K. DeRosa…

★★★Rule 9 Academy is a lengthy Series in the making~but you don’t have to read them in order to enjoy them. Each one can be enjoyed as a Standalone Novel.

World of Shawn by Jordan M Ehrlich

About World of Shawn by Jordan M Ehrlich:

-=STUCK AT HOME? Download FREE 1-Day Only!=-

This is the story of a lonely kid who develops a computer game, using what little of quantum physics that he has read, that renders game levels from maps of any format; the result is just a little too realistic. When he tries to combine this “World of Shawn” with a favorite game of his childhood, “World of One,” he soon finds Worlds colliding, to the detriment of his friends. Shawn must step up and rectify things, rescue the princess and save the World.

The interaction and constant dialogue between the characters in this story, as well as the humor and action intertwined, have drawn comparison to that in such works as “The Lord of the Rings,” “Harry Potter,” and “Narnia,” so if a reader has an interest in any of those, as well as an interest in computer programming or video games, either in the past or the present, it would be a safe bet that they would enjoy getting to know Shawn and his World!

Now, Trish has to keep her day job a secret from her foster parents, join forces with her ex-boyfriend who killed her, and hunt down a dangerous criminal before he comes into his powers. Should be a piece of cake.

Caught between forces bent on total destruction, the situation looks hopeless for Kala and those she loves. A final battle is looming in which Kala will have to choose between her humanity and her destiny – a battle that will scorch the earth and her heart.

Can one person stop the Apocalypse, even if that person is the Goddess’s Scythe?

Death’s Angel by Colin Lindsay

About Death’s Angel by Colin Lindsay:

The exciting sequel to Raven’s Wings in the spellbinding Goddess’s Scythe series.

Kala and Skye’s world is set aflame by Soren, a self-declared child of the winds, who was ripped from his family and sent in an airship to the harsh northern steppes. To assuage his anger, Soren has raised an army to destroy the world and every airship in it.

The Church fans the flames, hoping to usher in a cleansing apocalypse and return the world to a garden-like state before humanity can destroy itself or the planet the way the Ancients almost did. The Church believes Kala’s prophesied role is to raise an army to oppose Soren’s, thereby obliterating each other and furthering the Apocalypse.

As the mismatched confrontation looms between Kala’s allies and Soren’s cruel and ruthless army, Kala fears the Priestess’s prediction… that her friends love her enough to die for her.

With captivating characters and absorbing plot, this mesmerizing new fantasy series explores impossible odds, the gravity of destiny, and the power of love.

How can a girl stop the Apocalypse when she is the Goddess of Death’s chosen weapon?

Kala has a talent for killing, but that won’t help her escape what she fears most. As the only contact between the isolated communities of her world, mysterious airships require a youth in exchange for the goods that each community so desperately needs to survive.

Kala’s trepidation is upended by the arrival of charismatic Skye, who teases a life beyond her village, then is carried away from her on the winds. Kala is thrust into the brutal and unforgiving wider world, where she is enslaved by a lord who desires her talents as his personal assassin. The Church also wants her, believing her to be the prophesied weapon of the Goddess of Death.

Kala just wants to regain her freedom and her humanity, find Skye, and a way home, but all of those things seem outside her reach.

With fresh characters and page-turning suspense, this richly imagined new fantasy series explores unimaginable choices, the price of a soul, and the power of redemption.
