AN ALL-NEW EPIC FANTASY

The book cover for A Song to Wake a Thousand Sorrows by Michelle Manus. The title is in gold text against a black background with a red vortex.

A woman with unimaginable power. A king hellbent on ruling the world. An ancient force that could mean salvation or destruction.

The survivor of a brutal childhood, Clare Brighton craves the kind of wealth and notoriety that will mean the horrors of her past can never again touch her. With nothing but a battered guitar and a Songweaver’s talent, she comes to the capital of the Faelhorn Provinces, determined to gain her place.

But there is another, more dangerous power that dwells within Clare. An entity she calls the Song, it is ancient and fathomless…and no longer content to be held in the cage she has trapped it in. It is a power the ruthless Jackal King has long been searching for, and should he discover she possesses it, the cost will be far greater than her life.

Clare has sworn that she will never again let anyone control her. But escaping the Jackal King’s notice will require the one thing she never wanted to need: help. It will come first from the two lords who have taken her under their wing. Next from the second prince of Faelhorn, who Clare alone knows is not what he seems. And finally, from the Song itself.

The Song has the strength to save her—if it doesn’t destroy her first.

The book cover for Guardian of Defiance, the fifth book in the Nyx Fortuna contemporary fantasy series. A woman holding a bo staff stands before a griffin, while the sky rains fire in the background.

If only visiting old friends was merely a social call…

When Nyx’s quest to discover the secrets behind the Harvester’s rings leads her to the Meerkin homeworld of Kyvren, she’s only too happy to have an excuse to visit them. Since going their separate ways from Arkadia’s Station, she’s been unable to find any information on the state of their planet—or their attempt to reclaim it—and she only knows of one entity capable of covering up a civil war.

Of course, the one person who could probably answer every question she has is also the last person she wants to ask. But as Nyx dives beneath the surface of the conflict on Kyvren, circumstances may have her spending a little more quality bonding time with that individual than she’s comfortable with…
