Sandeen has done the impossible: he’s busted out of the underworld and now roams Earth in his own half-demon, half-angel form. His obsidian horns and black wings make it hard to blend in, but he hasn’t survived this long without being crafty. Just so happens, he knows about an empty cabin in the middle of Montana. Solitude. Peace. No need to worry about getting shanked in his sleep. Until a persistent warrior angel hunts him down. Harlowe’s world has turned upside down. Her best friend betrayed their realm and lost her wings, then blew up Harlowe’s past with a mind-blowing secret. So when a hauntingly handsome half demon gets away from her team, Harlowe throws herself into her job: hunting that half demon down. Forget his downy-soft wings and the horns her palms itch to caress. His inability to stay out of trouble is sure to put him back on her radar. The mission succeeds—right up until Sandeen kidnaps Harlowe. Softening toward him could cost her everything. Keeping her alive could mean the end of his hard-earned freedom. But as the lines between them blur, the only thing clear is that Harlowe’s not the only one hunting Sandeen. The fate of three realms depends on them learning how to tell friend from foe—and it’s not as simple as wings versus horns any longer. For readers who also like Larissa Ione, T.S.

A return of a long defeated threat changes everything for a master of the elements.The power of the elements can be complicated to master. Most reach it through the element bonds, ways of connecting to and shaping power that allowed the nation of Terndahl to thrive for centuries. Few can reach power of their own, an ancient way of holding magic the elemental warriors of old possessed. As spirit master, Tolan teaches how to use the power of the element bonds, but he knows a greater truth. Connected to power of his own, Tolan can use that, along with his bond to the elementals, in ways others cannot.When a threat all thought long ago defeated returns, Tolan finds his service to the Academy will require more than a master of spirit. Stopping this threat requires an ancient elemental warrior, but what if even that magic is not enough?The Shape of Fire is the start of an exciting fantasy adventure series.
An ancient artifact that must be found. Terrifying creatures from dark and dangerous Incendin. And long-forgotten elementals again unleashed on the world. Tan is an earth senser and a skilled tracker—talents which are wasted cleaning out stables. He should be excited when he's told to guide the king's most important servant through the mountains that surround his village, but as far as Tan is concerned, being given a task for the king is akin to a death sentence. But Tan soon learns that there are things worse than a death sentence. Terrifying creatures from dark and dangerous Incendin, a place long locked away by shaper magic, have returned—and they've destroyed everything Tan has ever loved. Now Tan must help the king's servant find an ancient artifact, the only thing that can stop the Incendin evil. And to do so, he must gain the trust of Amia, a beautiful wanderer who has lost just as much as Tan. Packed full of action and adventure, Chased by Fire is perfect for fans of Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn or Jeff Wheeler’s Muirwood.

"I am not going to let my blindness build a brick wall around me. I'd give my eyes one hundred times again to have the chance to do what I have done, and what I can still do."-Brad Snyder speaking with First Lady Michelle Obama On the night Osama bin Laden was killed, US Navy Lieutenant Brad Snyder was serving in Afghanistan as an Explosive Ordnance Disposal officer with SEAL Team Ten. When he learned of SEAL Team Six's heroics across the Pakistani border, Brad was thankful. Still, he knew that his dangerous combat deployment would continue. Less than five months later, Brad was engulfed by darkness after a massive blast caused by an enemy improvised explosive device. Suddenly Brad was blind, with vivid dreams serving as painful nightly reminders of his sacrifice. Exactly one year after losing his sight, Brad heard thousands cheer as he stood on a podium in London. Incredibly, Brad had just won a gold medal in swimming at the 2012 Paralympic Games. Fire in My Eyes is the astonishing true story of a wounded veteran who refused to give up. Lieutenant Brad Snyder did not let blindness build a wall around him-through tenacity and courage, he tore it down.
