She could silence her critics forever, but can she trust her funders? Frederik Obialo yearns to build a permanent home for his daughter. When he’s offered triple pay for a quick haul, he sees his chance. All he has to do is shuttle some people to a weather station and ignore all the warning signs. Their choices have sunk them deep into the shadowy world of corporate espionage. Now they have to deal with black ops kill teams, and military intrigue. But an alien discovery shatters their understanding of the universe. As they reveal eons-hidden truths, Chaeyoung and Frederik will propel humanity away from the path of the pale blue dot...toward the singularity of A Mote in Shadow.

A Shadow's Tale is an Urban Fantasy/Bildungsroman that follows the life of a half-demon girl as she comes to terms with who she is. The life of one of every two half demons is controlled by prophecy. The more powerful the demonic parent, the more impact the prophecy has on the hybrid’s life. When the half-demon race wilfully became extinct, certain prophecies were deemed never to come to pass. They were wrong. Shadow has to learn how to cope with who she is, how to deal with people who won't accept her half-demon status, and what her future has in store for her. ,
Life at the prestigious Q High School for Girls in Tokyo exists on a precise social axis: a world of insiders and outsiders, of haves and have-nots. Beautiful Yuriko and her unpopular, unnamed sister exist in different spheres; the hopelessly awkward Kazue Sato floats around among them, trying to fit in.Years later, Yuriko and Kazue are dead — both have become prostitutes and both have been brutally murdered. Natsuo Kirino, celebrated author of Out, seamlessly weaves together the stories of these women’s struggles within the conventions and restrictions of Japanese society. At once a psychological investigation of the pressures facing Japanese women and a classic work of noir fiction, Grotesque is a brilliantly twisted novel of ambition, desire, beauty, cruelty, and identity by one of our most electrifying writers.
Go back to where it all began! Before the Krewe of Hunters, there was Harrison Investigations. Available for the first time in a value box set, the first three stories in the series—thrilling paranormal romantic suspense from New York Times bestselling author Heather Graham. HAUNTED Matt Stone doesn’t believe in ghosts. Although his home, a historic Virginia estate that dates back to the Revolutionary War, has seen some strange happenings lately. Pressured to get at the truth, he agrees to let Harrison Investigations explore. But he isn’t ready for beautiful, intriguing Darcy Tremayne, or the skeletons she’s about to discover. Because it’s much more than a simple mystery from the distant past—Melody House holds a very real and lethal danger, one that will cast Darcy into a struggle against the worlds of both the living and the dead. GHOST WALK As manager of a successful New Orleans haunted-tour company, Nikki DuMonde doesn’t scare easily. So a visit frin one of her employees in the middle of the night doesn’t faze her, until she learns the woman brutally murdered—at the exact time Nikki swears she was in her room. No one believes her except for Brent Blackhawk, a paranormal investigator desperately trying to forget his tragic past. When he realizes ghosts are trying to reach out to Nikki, he knows that she, too, must listen to the dead…if she wants to keep living. THE VISION It seems like any other salvage dive—until Genevieve Wallace sees a vision of a dead woman in the water. A dead woman who opens her eyes and looks directly at her… But no one, including her diving partner Thor Thompson, believes her. Then a body washes up on shore, and everyone assumes this is what Genevieve saw. But she knows it’s definitely not the ghost she encountered, but another victim of the same brutal killer. With the threat of death is coming closer, she and Thor somehow have to link a violent past with a present-day mystery…because if they don’t, the power of death will possess them, too.
In a world where beliefs are real, actualized by will, expressed by intent, Yip Chi Chuan, a young martial and spiritual ascetic, flees as the only home he has ever known, the ancient monastery of the Priests of K’un Lun, is destroyed by a newly ascendant extradimensional evil. Cast out and alone, Yip strikes out on a quest spanning the breadth of his home world of Ea’ae and into the greater macroverse beyond in an attempt to unseat an all-consuming Darkness rooted in his once vaunted Order’s distant past. Will Yip, the last of his kind to walk the wide world beyond his fallen sanctuary, succeed where his mighty brethren failed in Ages past? Unfortunately for Yip, the answer appears all too clear.... Without the guidance and teachings of his lineage, pursued by malevolent supernatural agents of the Cabal, unable to fully defend himself in a world steeped in magic, his own quest may fail before it ever begins. Unfazed by his own limitations, guided by his inner vision and direct experience of the energies of life, the radiant chi suffusing and enlivening the world all around, he is determined to triumph where others have faltered. To win forward, he will need help... but first he must survive. A blend of Eastern mysticism and Western fantasy, Shadow’s Rise is the first book of the Chronicles of the Fists, an epic trilogy recounting Yip’s adventures against all odds.
