OUT NEXT! – Ceril N. Domace & Haven

OUT NEXT! – Alex S. Bradshaw & Windborn
"Survival is not enough. There has to be something else on the line. Edda has plenty of these fights over in Windborn, whenever she squares up to someone it’s not just about life or death but about what she wants it’s about how the fight stands in the way of her goals or about protecting the people she loves."

OUT NEXT! – Marina Lostetter & The Helm of Midnight
"Since the magic is channeled via enchantments, I decided the materials enchanted items were made from would dictate the kind of magic they could hold and their function."

"I wanted to do my own thing with Victories and not just copy these other franchises, but I did make sure to include awesome space battles and big mysterious alien ruins and cool alien friends and allies."
OUT NEXT! – Zack Argyle talks Stones of Light
"Book two takes the promises of epic scope and runs with it. There are new locations, new cultures, new creatures, expanded magic, and world-threatening enemies."
