Big news! Glass House Press will be releasing several novellas in the spring as part of the Glass House StoryTime series, and today, three of the covers are unveiled: Fallen Souls by Linda Foster, Broken Stone by P.T. McHugh, and The Firedragon by yours truly. Check 'em out!
Almost a hundred years ago, the Enchanters defeated the Lord of the Underworld in one of the most fearsome wars the world had ever seen. The public thinks that this victory means the people are safe. But they’re wrong. The supernatural beasts the Lord unleashed remain on the earth, multiplying and ravaging what’s left of civilization. As long as these monsters exist, mankind will be in danger. And though the government, ruled by the magic-wielding Enchanters, seeks to protect their people, they are too few in number. They need the Defenders – a special class of non-magical humans – to fight the monsters. The Defenders are an elite force, and mankind’s only hope against the horrors that live beyond their gates.
Fourteen-year-old Aurelia “the Firedragon” Sun has been training since she could walk to become a Defender, and her extraordinary combat skills have earned the attention of the powerful government. In fact, she’s been tapped to represent her nation in an international monster-fighting competition, which pits champions from across the globe against creatures of the Underworld in a violent spectacle. If she wins, she will become a full-fledged member of the Defender force.
But as Aurelia moves deeper into the competition, she realizes that all is not as it appears. There’s something sinister behind the competition, something that could change the way she sees everything … and the Enchanters, it seems, are not the heroes she thought. Aurelia begins to ask questions. But before she can discover the truth, she is pitted against the most dangerous monster in the competition – one that will take her life if it can.
About Mary Fan
Ash
never thought going to a party could be dangerous. He certainly never thought
it would change his life. But when a man with red eyes begins following him –
and his sister – he realizes he was wrong. Soon they’re running, leading the
man on a desperate chase over icy roads.
When
Ash crashes his car, nearly killing his sister, the red-eyed man offers Ash a
choice – save his sister, but pay the highest price possible. Bring Grace back
to life, at the cost of his own soul.
Suddenly,
Ash is facing a choice he never sought. But will he use that choice to save his
sister? And if he does … what will it mean for Ash himself?
***
Someone has started a revolution in Heaven, his betrayal and
lies tearing the fabric of the angels apart. Things are coming quickly to a
head, and before long the angels will find themselves at war … with each other.
Friends and allies will turn against each other, each choosing their own side
of right and wrong.
If that happens, the world as they know it will end.
It's up to Kali, protector of angels and humans, to stop the
treachery before war breaks out and peace is shattered forever. But how far is
she willing to go to save the lives of the angels? Will she turn against her
own dearest friend to save her world?
And if she does … will anything be left for her to come home
to?
***
Join Ash and Kali on their individual adventures as we see
what – and who – led them to find each other in Soul Bound, the first
book in the Realm of the Claimed.

Reis Slayton is a man without a
home, family, or direction until the US military comes along. But the moment he
joins, his ‘talents’ come to the attention of those higher than him – he has a
sharp eye, and a willingness to shoot first and ask questions later. His deadly
skills are finely tuned … and used.
But this isn’t what Reis wanted to
be. Years later, after too many undercover operations, and countless lives
taken, he finds himself questioning his direction. Does he believe in the
government? Does he agree with his assignments? Or is he wasting his life – and
conscience – on someone else’s goal?
With that thought in mind, Reis
takes a leap and interviews for a new company, where he’s given the role of
body guard. Against his better judgment, he takes a job that no one else wants
– guarding the daughter of a wealthy family – and grudgingly moves into a new
life. Soon after taking a job, he realizes that he might have found the one
thing he’s never had: a family, and someone to fight for. He grows to love his
new charge, and begins to feel fulfilled for the first time in his life.
But no matter how hard people try,
they cannot escape the sins of their past. Will Reis be able to leave the life
of an assassin behind him, and protect his new charge? Or will his history come
back to haunt him, in the worst ways imaginable?
