In the Unbreaking
Chaos is spreading.
Gabriel and the rest of Squad 36 have struggled to defend the abandoned civilians of Region 520 from the remnants of a murderous gang. After months of bloodshed, the fighting becomes a deadly stalemate, and everyone is feeling the strain-particularly Gabriel, whose power is kept in constant demand.
Between sleepless nights, harried days, and devastating revelations, the team is stretched thin. When new adversaries threaten the valley, Squad 36 must settle their differences with the gang or face enemies on two fronts. If they fail, something worse than the xeno occupation will be unleashed on the world and leave no one safe.
Not even those who swore to defend it.
Fates Defiant
The only way out is death.
In the Arena, appearances are everything, and Cyrus has mastered the art. Trained since his youth to annihilate opponents for the entertainment of the masses, he’s become known as a legend who cannot be beaten—but when the dust settles, he’s no less a prisoner than the criminals he faces, and his usefulness to his masters only lasts as long as the money keeps coming in.
Bastian Lytos has no interest in fame or fortune. Sentenced to the Arena after disobeying orders on the field of battle, he’s determined only to defy his masters for as long as possible before his inevitable demise. When fate throws him into the path of the Arena champion, he’s shocked to find that even the most elite fighters are just as trapped as he is.
A new alliance forms when the two combatants unexpectedly come face to face, but in order to survive long enough to see freedom, they’ll have to fight.
For honor. For glory. To the death.
The Shattered Ones
No one ever cared much about this territory.
Gabriel just wants to do his job and be left alone. The alien oppressors of his childhood may be gone, but their legacy of unearthly technology, nightmarish monsters, and ordinary people developing Shattered powers still lingers. With the violent past threatening to become a bloody present, Gabriel joins forces with the other members of his base—men and women of the Earth Defense Force who successfully pushed the xenos back into space eight years ago.
Seven veterans. One rookie. None of them ever had the families they dreamed of, but battle forges a bond stronger than blood. When the unthinkable happens, Gabriel must trust his newfound family, find his own courage, and embrace the truth he’s always known—that even the worst places and most broken people deserve someone who’s willing to fight for them.
Crowns Anthology
Authors Brittany Eden and Brigitte Cromey have collaborated as co-editors to bring you Crowns, a royal-themed anthology, which features a fantasy romance novella by Brigitte Cromey and a curated collection of short stories, flash fiction, poetry, photography, and art.
Guard the princess. Protect the kingdom. Stay alive. (Try not to fall in love.)
Princess Talianna has gotten used to being invisible. As the only child of the royal line, she swears to become the best possible ruler for her people—even if it means no one will ever see the girl behind the crown. When fate reunites her with the knight who was once her best friend, she must hold to her promise—and leave the dreams of childhood behind.
Sir Gavin of Andel has never forgotten the princess with a smile as brilliant as the sun. When he’s assigned to guard her after being separated for ten years, he swears to protect her with his life against all enemies—an oath that may prove as deadly in success as it would in failure.
They’re bound to their oaths, but fulfilling them may cause their own hearts to break.
Fires of Freedom
Winning the crown was never easy. Holding onto it will prove almost impossible.
Rose has ascended the throne that is hers by birthright. As she enters the second year of her reign, she must grapple with the knowledge that not everyone in Illyn supports her rule; and a few have grown bold enough to challenge her. When her strongest ally is taken by her enemies, Rose must decide which she will listen to more— her heart, or her head?
Erven has lived by and suffered for his loyalty many times over. With the lives of everyone he loves at stake, he faces a choice out of his worst nightmare— betray his queen and family, or see the country he almost died defending crumble into war?
With Illyn held in the unrelenting grip of winter, each of them will have to make their choice—and there’s no guarantee they’ll come out unscathed.
Star of Hope
The daughters of the forest are healers, storytellers, and caretakers—warriors by another name. When the world they knew is shaken, it’ll take all of Violet’s loyalty, Willow’s cunning, and Heather and Clover’s innovation to reunite a hopeless country—and see Rose take the crown that she was born to wear.
Raised in secret, sixteen-year-old Rose is unaware of her royal birthright until her family’s old enemies come hunting. When confronted with the truth—and a desperate people without a leader—will she back down or will she dare to see who she might become?
Scattered across forest, mountains, and seas, Rose and the girls she grew up with embark on their own journeys to gather forces and reunite with each other. Alliances are forged in blood and each of their limits are tested, as the lifelong friends become embroiled in a conflict much bigger than any of them ever imagined.
They’ve fought for each other all their lives, but the world is rapidly changing around them. When the smoke clears, there won’t be any going back—and how will it have changed them?
