She may be the only fae standing between her realm and the evil lurking below. Will Titania be given the power she needs?

 

Titania defeats a group of creatures threatening to colonize Middle Earth. In ending them she broke not one but two edicts of the High Council. But justice may fall on the only person holding the key to her ability to defend the fae.

 

The evil spirits manifesting the terrorists lurk below, lying in wait to strike again. With loss of a much-needed ally, she lacks freedom to learn what the realm may be facing. Worse yet, many, even some most trusted compatriots, distance themselves from the reckless Queen she’s painted to be.

 

Her power shackled and left alone, Titania loses faith in her once clear path.

 

Can she find her footing in time to save them all from eternal darkness?

 

To Be a Fae Guardian is the second book in the Realm Chronicles series, continuing a magical journey into the realm of Middle Earth. If you like dauntless heroines, you’ll love Tricia Copeland’s gripping fantasy.

As a princess of the Romanov Empire, Elizabeth has enjoyed a life of luxury and privilege. But the sudden deaths of her parents leaves her unprotected – awash in the dangerous tide of her family’s political rivals. When the supreme council crowns her half-nephew Peter II in her place, Elizabeth is left with no title, no power—and no allies. Now little more than a bastard in the eyes of the world, she is sent to serve in the palatial home of Prince Menshikov—the real power behind the boy king. But Elizabeth won’t fade quietly into the background. Determined to uncover the truth behind her mother’s murder and expose the men who mean to rule Russia in secret, she grows closer to the handsome young king, and swears to protect him and his rule at any cost. But the forces that oppose them are as dark as they are far-reaching--and this time, Elizabeth could lose more than just her title…This is not a fairy tale...

Author Spotlight: Kasi Blake

​Several years ago, I had the privilege to meet author Kasi Blake. She is utterly amazing… and she loves Supernatural as much as I do!
 
Kasi is a YA Paranormal Romance/Urban Fantasy writer with a semi-serious addiction to chocolate. Born in sunny California, she now lives on a farm in the Midwest with a dog, two cats, ducks, chickens and cows. When she has the time, she haunts local bookstores, hangs out with friends, and tries to catch up on her reading list. The rest of the time she’s working on her next novel.
#element-af29e578-5278-4f8a-aae4-cdd47c928600 .waddons-blog-image.hideImage { display: none;} Kasi’s novel, Bait, is the first in the Order of the Spirit Realm series.
 
Blurb: Bay-Lee gets two visitors in one night. The first is a dead rock star with an ax to grind, and the second is a reaper with a warning. It kills you on your birthday.
 
When her cold and distant father swoops in to take her to his school (a secret training camp for hunters), Bay-Lee is determined to make him proud. But she soon learns that survival is more important than grades. Someone or some ‘thing’ is killing students on their birthdays.
 
Bay-Lee and her new friends need to work fast to solve this mystery. Her birthday is just around the corner. Bait has action, humor, and a sweet romance at its core.
 
So, why can’t she stop thinking about him?

Excerpt:
 
Connor vacated the couch long enough to take the knife from her.  He tossed it on the coffee table.  It landed between his sawed-off shotgun and his .38 caliber.
“Leave the artillery at home.”
“What?”  She blinked at him, uncomprehending.  He couldn’t seriously want her to walk out of the house unarmed.  “Are you serious?  Something could attack me.  What do I do then?”
“Depends.  If you are alone, use your extensive combat training and put some of those tricks I taught you to good use.  You don’t need a weapon to take a monster down.  If there are witnesses, I want you to scream like a girl and run in the other direction.”

But not even death puts an end to the conman’s mischief. He rented the same space to a tarot reader, Hyperion Night. Convinced his tarot room is in the cards, Night’s not letting go of the building without a fight. #element-fdffe2c3-b8a2-45a5-8cae-1a52bc171b64 .waddons-blog-image.hideImage { display: none;}  But they must work together, steeping themselves in the murky waters of the sham realtor's double dealings, in order to unearth the truth – before murder boils over again.

A new Guardian has arrived, and she will change everything.

Booth Woods has lived a quiet, rewarding life as a Guardian to the Shaw pride. He’d planned out his life, never wanting to take on a mate. When Jade O’Connor arrives, requesting to fight in the Summer Solstice, his alpha tasks Booth to test her abilities. Her presence will throw his world into turmoil over the decision to touch her or let her go when she decides to stick to her current plan.

Jade O’Connor has trained for this. She’s wanted nothing more than to be a Guardian ever since she began her private training. When her pride finds out, and her alpha sends a clear message she is not allowed, Jade flees to the Shaw pride on a rumored acceptance of training female fighters. Determined to prove her worth, Jade will vow herself to the pride, but she will never accept their denial for her chance to fight for her rightful title…

Guardian.

No Wake Zone by Savannah Verte

Time is up. Perhaps that’s a good thing.
Oceanus receives a new package, tipping his fury toward all out destruction as everyone is running in circles, and someone has seen a Sturgeon look-a-like. A new dead end could take them to the right path…but will they see it?

Gerri’s latest pairing, an Elemental Seer and an anxiety-riddled orphan, may hold the key to answer it all, but they are mated just as the storm breaks loose. Can anyone turn back the clock?

Time is up.

Perhaps that’s a good thing.

Oceanus receives a new package, tipping his fury toward all out destruction as everyone is running in circles, and someone has seen a Sturgeon look-a-like. A new dead end could take them to the right path…but will they see it?

Gerri’s latest pairing, an Elemental Seer and an anxiety-riddled orphan, may hold the key to answer it all, but they are mated just as the storm breaks loose. Can anyone turn back the clock?

There’s only one person who can stop Oceanus’ wrath.


Unfortunately, she is one of the missing.


About the Author
A lifelong lover of words and reading, Savannah Verte hasn't quite figured out what she wants to write when she grows up. Born and raised in the upper Midwest, Savannah's gypsy spirit and never quit attitude keep her busy and seldom idle. For so many reasons, Savannah considers herself a 'Contemporary Vagabond' when it comes to writing and hopes that others find her diverse offerings as enjoyable to read as they are to write. 

As the primary owner and driving force behind Eclectic Bard Books she considers herself immensely fortunate to see writing from varied perspectives as she endeavors to publish the authors rostered there. Working with other writers, Savannah gets to expand her horizons every day as someone brings a new idea to the table and the brainstorming begins. There is something addictive about the creative process for her and helping other authors embrace their dreams make hers a reality daily.

That's the official Savannah, the unofficial version is just this: a girl who loves experiencing life with every twist and turn it takes. When she was born, she had such fine, light hair that her mother used to tape bows to her head so people would know she was a girl. She's had a host of crazy unrelated jobs- everything from cake decorator, dry cleaner, and insurance agent to Emergency Room assistant, bartender, crime lab tech and bouncer. Savannah loves air hockey but completely sucks at it. She loves good jazz, good scotch, and antiques but also old rock, a quiet tea, and a tidy home. She's completely technology impaired and can get it after she's broken the computer or done it ass-backwards a few times... Thank Gods that there are some amazing meme creators that let her pilfer images or she'd be lost. Lime green is her color, the rhinoceros is her logo & philosophy, and she's completely mad about seeing new authors try.
