There was a time when the Red Gods ruled the land. The Dark Lady and her horde dealt in death and blood and fire. That time has long since passed, and the neighbouring kingdoms of Mireces and Rilpor hold an uneasy truce. The only blood spilled is confined to the border, where vigilantes known as Wolves protect their kin and territory at any cost. But after the death of his wife, King Rastoth is plagued by grief, leaving the kingdom of Rilpor vulnerable.

With the Realm fractured, the outlaws of the Iron Ridge are threatened from all sides. Aided by his mentor, Whisper, runaway heir—and newly ordained witch—Rasp Stoneclaw finally has a chance to see more of the world, beyond the ridge. He'd like to survive and keep his wits about him, but the darkness inside him has other ideas . . . including, unfortunately, cannibalism. Meanwhile, Ex-Protector of the Realm Oralia Dawnsight is struggling to come to terms with her new role as a traitor to the broken empire. Once, she dreamed of a glorious retirement.

Rilporin has fallen and Corvus, King of the Mireces, reigns over an occupied land. The raiders and their dark religion have conquered, but victory came at a terrible price – the death of a god – and sparks of resistance glimmer on all sides. In the south, Mace gathers the survivors of Rilpor’s armies. Among the fierce tribes of Krike, Crys and Dom search for allies and for the truth of what binds them to the Gods of Light. And in the royal palace itself, Tara – once a soldier, now a slave – hopes to ignite a rebellion.

Going to Level 2 gives me unimaginable power. So naturally, now that everyone I care about is in trouble, I can't do it anymore. The Elders can, but will they teach me, and if so, at what price?Ultimately, it comes down to a choice. What am I willing to sacrifice for those I love?

Everyone thinks I'm a genius. Everyone is wrong. Sure, I finished Harvard at eighteen and now make crazy money at a hedge fund. But that's not because I'm unusually smart or hard-working. It's because I cheat. You see, I have a unique ability. I can go outside time into my own personal version of reality - the place I call - "the Quiet" - where I can explore my surroundings while the rest of the world stands still.I thought I was the only one who could do this - until I met her.

Runaway heir Rasp Stoneclaw was born cursed, prophesied to bring destruction to the world. Now exiled by the Stoneclaw tribe after his brothers drove him out, he lives under an assumed name. Far from the curse, of course. Meanwhile, Protector of the Realm Oralia Dawnsight—along with her team, the rebellious faithful four—is on the hunt for Rasp, ready to restore him to the throne for the small price of a trade route truce. She'll get Rasp to agree to a deal, and then they'll be on their way up the mountain path to install him as the new, peaceful leader of the Iron Ridge. Simple, right?

The Wolves lie dead beside Rilpor’s soldiers, slaughtered at the hands of the Mireces and their fanatical army. The veil that once kept the Red Gods at bay has been left in tatters as the Dark Lady’s plans for the world come to fruition. Where the gods walk, blood is spilled on the earth. All that stands between the Mireces army and complete control of the Kingdom of Rilpor are the walls of its capital, Rilporin, and those besieged inside.

In the aftermath of runaway heir Rasp Stoneclaw's foiled attempts to escape the curse threatening to destroy his people, he's stuck under a mountain with Oralia Dawnsight, Protector of the Realm. So in other words, everything's going great. Oralia's plan to install the cursed Stoneclaw as the new leader of the Iron Ridge is, needless to say, in tatters. But Rasp has discovered something he didn't expect: while he may have been the one to awaken the curse in the first place, he also just might have what it takes to defeat it—provided the appeal of running away doesn't win out.

Action-packed and laugh-out-loud funny, the Sasha Urban series is your next binge listen! Analyst. Illusionist. Psychic? When Sasha Urban finally gets the chance to perform her magic tricks on live TV, the last thing she expects is to discover that she has very real, very scary powers. Oh, and to be totally humiliated in the process. But being made to look like a fraud is the least of Sasha's problems now that she's been thrust into the dangerous world of the Cognizant. But will she be able to master her psychic powers in time to save herself when everything goes wrong?

Mike Cohen has it all figured out. A successful venture capitalist, he’s got billions in the bank, a lifestyle any New Yorker would kill for, and - if he plays his cards right - a shot with his cute, punky coworker. But everything changes when the life-altering technology he's developing lands him in the middle of a global conspiracy, and the only way to save himself, his loved ones, and his tech is to embed the highly experimental Brainocytes in his own brain. Brainocytes transform the human experience, making you smarter, faster, and more powerful.

What am I? Who killed my family? Why? I need to get some answers before the Russian mob succeeds in killing me. That is, if my own friends don't kill me first.

My deal with Nero and my growing powers are supposed to keep me and my loved ones safe - yet the unthinkable happens. When lines are crossed and blood is spilled, nothing will ever be the same again.

I'm an illusionist, not a psychic. Going on TV is supposed to advance my career, but things go wrong. Like vampires and zombies kind of wrong. My name is Sasha Urban, and this is how I learned what I am.

With my seer powers finally under my control, I'm ready to plunge into the unknown to find my father. He may have abandoned me, but I’ll go to the ends of the Otherlands to save him from his torment. Only problem? With unexpected allies and even more surprising enemies, this rescue mission might be more than I bargained for.

The epic conclusion of Sasha Urban's story. I found my family, I found my heart, I found myself. But it’s not over. No matter how many allies I have, there's no escaping destiny. The end of the world is coming, and I'm the only one who can stop it.

Find my long-lost birth parents? Check. Kiss the man I've been crushing on for years? Check. Finally kick back and enjoy my happy ending? Yeah, no such luck. With literal demons out to kill me and my loved ones in trouble, I'm starting to wonder if I'll make it out of this one alive....

Life as a seer is not all it’s cracked up to be. Especially when you’re unemployed and your former boss blacklists you everywhere. Or when a legendary Russian witch calls in a favor owed, demanding the unthinkable. When danger threatens everyone around me, there’s only one man I can turn to - and he may not be what he seems.

So I’m a seer. A Cognizant under the Mandate. Life should be easy now, right? Wrong. With all the “accidents” that keep befalling me, I’ll be lucky to survive the week. That is, if my crazy boss doesn’t work me to death first....

Чтобы жизнь медом не казалась, я на свою голову заключаю договор с демоном. За определенную плату он обещает помочь мне очаровать профессора Моргана, в которого я, как кошка, влюблена с первого курса академии. Вот только советы демона странные и вредительские. Следуя им, я попадаю из одной курьезной ситуации в другую, и вот уже несчастный профессор шарахается от меня, как от сумасшедшей.
