DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhat would you sacrifice to save your friend? Your soul? Your humanity? Your life? The Oncoming Storm is a name whispered in awe throughout the Underworld. She's known as a master thief and a lethal knife-wielder - some even say she has the skills of an assassin. All of it is true. She's also a sarcastic smartmouth with the social graces of a bull. You will find her running across rooftops, sneaking in the shadows, and breaking into houses. That is, if she's not busy getting ambushed and blackmailed into a seemingly impossible mission. Grudgingly caught in a dangerous power struggle, the Oncoming Storm must leave behind the world she knows and maneuver through scheming assassins, calculating elves, and desperate royals. Before her adventure is over, she will have loved, saved, killed, and double-crossed those around her. The only question is, who? The clock is ticking, and before time runs out, the Oncoming Storm must decide who to trust and who to betray...

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis ebook includes a copy of Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island! A rip-roaring sequel to Treasure Island—Robert Louis Stevenson’s beloved classic—about two young friends and their high-seas adventure with dangerous pirates and long-lost treasure. It's almost forty years after the events of Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island: Jim Hawkins now runs an inn called the Hispaniola on the English coast with his son, Jim, and Long John Silver has returned to England to live in obscurity with his daughter, Natty. Their lives are quiet and unremarkable; their adventures have seemingly ended. But for Jim and Natty, the adventure is just beginning. One night, Natty approaches young Jim with a proposition: return to Treasure Island and find the remaining treasure that their fathers left behind so many years before. As Jim and Natty set sail in their fathers' footsteps, they quickly learn that this journey will not be easy. Immediately, they come up against murderous pirates, long-held grudges, and greed and deception lurking in every corner. And when they arrive on Treasure Island, they find terrible scenes awaiting them—difficulties which require all their wit as well as their courage. Nor does the adventure end there, since they have to sail homeward again... Andrew Motion’s sequel—rollicking, heartfelt, and utterly brilliant—would make Robert Louis Stevenson proud.

He is almost ready to embrace the order’s mission—to use selfless magic to heal the fractured kingdom of Navronne. Still, trouble arises on his first solo assignment when he encounters a mysterious woman who brings his past rushing back . . . Greenshank discovers he was once a sorcerer with a different name. One whose gifts threaten the safety of the kingdom and the world. Now to unravel the mysteries of his past and his powers, he must trace a path of corruption that leads into some unexpected—and dangerous—places . . . “Berg has an artist’s touch with fantasy worlds and scenes.” —RT Book Reviews “With this masterful opening . . . the story grabs you by the hand, plunging you headfirst into a world of magic and war, where nothing is quite what it seems.” —San Francisco Book Review “I particularly enjoyed the structure and logic of the story, but it is the character Greenshanks that kept me reading. I wanted to go on the journey with him to recapture his lost memories and to see why he was so important to his world. The emotional nexus around him was compelling and the world he inhabited was one I could live in.” —King’s River Life Magazine
