The Hero and the Crown by Robin McKinley

An outcast princess must earn her birthright as a hero of the realm—in this “utterly engrossing” Newbery Medal–winning fantasy (The New York Times).

Aerin is an outcast in her own father’s court, daughter of the foreign woman who, it was rumored, was a witch, and enchanted the king to marry her.

She makes friends with her father’s lame, retired warhorse, Talat, and discovers an old, overlooked, and dangerously imprecise recipe for dragon-fire-proof ointment in a dusty corner of her father’s library. Two years, many canter circles to the left to strengthen Talat’s weak leg, and many burnt twigs (and a few fingers) secretly experimenting with the ointment recipe later, Aerin is present when someone comes from an outlying village to report a marauding dragon to the king. Aerin slips off alone to fetch her horse, her sword, and her fireproof ointment . . .

But modern dragons, while formidable opponents fully capable of killing a human being, are small and accounted vermin. There is no honor in killing dragons. The great dragons are a tale out of ancient history.

That is, until the day that the king is riding out at the head of an army. A weary man on an exhausted horse staggers into the courtyard where the king’s troop is assembled: “The Black Dragon has come . . . Maur, who has not been seen for generations, the last of the great dragons, great as a mountain. Maur has awakened.”

Of Mortal Furyby Kathryn Le Veque

When Morgan de Wolfe, commander of Richmond Castle, is called by his liege Caius d’Avignon (Winter of Solace) into the full-fledged world of the Executioner Knights to go deep under cover, a de Wolfe becomes a Wolfe in sheep’s clothing for the sake of William Marshal and his spy ring.

Will a de Wolfe be the greatest Executioner Knight of all?

Morgan de Wolfe, cousin to Edward de Wolfe, Earl of Wolverhampton (and father of William de Wolfe of The Wolfe), finds himself the perfect man for an Executioner Knight’s job. Assuming the identity of a dead man, he makes his way to the Welsh border to infiltrate his way into a castle stolen by a Marshal enemy. His task is to use the dead man’s identity to reclaim the castle.

What he didn’t count on was a woman who could quite possibly ruin his mission.

And possibly even his life.

Amarantha de la Haye’s father assumed control of Mount Grace when King John betrayed the owners and confiscated the castle. Unaware of how, exactly, her father came to command the mighty castle and control its silver mine, Amarantha has lived in peace at Mount Grace, an educated and clever young woman but finds herself a pawn of her ambitious father. When a chance meeting with Morgan sees sparks fly between the two of them, she has no idea that she will be the key to Morgan’s mission… and possibly her own destruction.

The Wolfe fangs are sharpening.

Join Morgan and Amarantha on a complex journey of lies, deceit, betrayal, and ultimately the power of love. Will Morgan obey William Marshal? Or will he obey his heart?

Of Mortal Fury is part of the USA Today bestselling Executioner Knights series.

Song of Echoes (Book 1 – Epic Fantasy Series)by R.E. Palmer

Yet, far to the north, in the frozen lands beyond the Draegalen Trench, the Ruuk stir, driven by a rising evil, long believed banished from the world. But rumors questioning the Archon’s ability to defend the realms once more, persist.

by Jacob Parker

Did Juliet stab Romeo in the back? Mine did.

Love is a fickle thing. You think you find it while on a beach on a business trip, and you’re wrong.

The beautiful girl that’s captured your attention has been sent there by her father, a rival of the great Manhattan family—my family.

She laid the trap real good, and thanks to the her curves and beautiful smile, my dumbass fell right into it.

But something changed in the middle of our love affair.

She stopped believing I was the villain.

Good thing, because I never was. A bit of a playboy, sure, but a bad guy?

Not a chance.

So we’re enemies. And we’re lovers.

Both of our big powerful families are after the investment of a lifetime at the resort we meet at.

The choice is ours—families be damned.
