Cast in ruin (Chronicles of Elantra #07)
Par Michelle Sagara. 2016
"Seven corpses are discovered in the streets of a Dragon's fief. All identical, down to their clothing. Kaylin Neya is…
assigned to discover who they were, who killed them-and why. Is the evil lurking at the borders of Elantra preparing to cross over? At least the investigation delays her meeting with the Dragon Emperor. And as the shadows grow longer over the fiefs, Kaylin must use every skill she's ever learned to save the people she's sworn to protect. Sword in hand, dragons in the sky, this time there's no retreat and no surrender." -- Provided by publisherLegacy of war (Courtney series #18)
Par Wilbur A Smith. 2021
"The war is over, Hitler is dead - and yet his evil legacy lives on. Saffron Courtney and her beloved…
husband Gerhard only just survived the brutal conflict, but Gerhard's Nazi-supporting brother, Konrad, is still free and determined to regain power. As a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse develops, a plot against the couple begins to stir. One that will have ramifications throughout Europe... Further afield in Kenya, the last outcrop of the colonial empire is feeling the stirrings of rebellion. As the situation becomes violent, and the Courtney family home is under threat, Leon Courtney finds himself caught between two powerful sides - and a battle for the freedom of a country." -- Provided by publisher"Charlie and Mouse and their parents are going on a camping trip, and there will be hiking, storytelling, marshmallows, and…
campfires, and the joy that comes from sharing it all." -- Provided by publisherCast in shadow (Chronicles of Elantra #01)
Par Michelle Sagara. 2016
"Seven years ago Kaylin fled the crime-riddled streets of Nightshade, knowing that something was after her. Children were being murdered-and…
all had the same odd markings that mysteriously appeared on her own skin. Since then, she's learned to read, she's learned to fight and she's become one of the vaunted Hawks who patrol and police the City of Elantra. Alongside the winged Aerians and the immortal Barrani, she's made a place for herself, far from the mean streets of her birth. But children are once again dying, and a dark and familiar pattern is emerging. Kaylin is ordered back into Nightshade with a partner she knows she can't trust, a Dragon lord for a companion and a device to contain her powers-powers that no other human has. Her task is simple-find the killer, stop the murders...and survive the attentions of those who claim to be her allies!" -- Provided by publisherCast in peril (Chronicles of Elantra #08)
Par Michelle Sagara. 2012
"It has been a busy few weeks for Private Kaylin Neya. In between angling for a promotion, sharing her room…
with the last living female Dragon and dealing with more refugees than anyone knew what to do with, the unusual egg she'd been given began to hatch. Actually, that turned out to be lucky, because it absorbed the energy from the bomb that went off in her quarters. So now might be the perfect time to leave Elantra and journey to the West March with the Barrani. If not for the disappearances of citizens in the fief of Tiamaris-disappearances traced to the very Barrani Kaylin is about to be traveling with." -- Provided by publisherCast in conflict (Chronicles of Elantra #16)
Par Michelle Sagara. 2021
"A Dragon and ten Barrani wouldn't be anyone's ideal roommates if a person wants peace and tranquility at home. The…
residue of three Draco-Barrani wars can make things pretty awkward-on a good day. Kaylin Neya has run out of good days. In the upheaval surrounding the Academia, the Tower in the fief of Candallar is now without its lord. The Towers were created to protect Elantra against Shadow. Dragon Bellusdeo wants to captain the Tower and continue a war she'll never be able to abandon. But Sedarias, leader of the Barrani cohort, wants the Tower for the cohort. And Barrani and Dragons don't negotiate, even when they're living under the same roof. If there were ever a time for Shadow to strike, it's now, when alliances are fractured and the Tower is vulnerable for the first time in centuries. More than ever, Kaylin needs her friends to work together if they're going to be able to stop the threat to Elantra." -- Provided by publisherBlack panther: Uprising (Black Panther the young prince #03)

"When T'Challa gets special permission to have his friends from America, Sheila and Zeke, come to Wakanda, he can't wait…
to show them his home for a change. But their tour is brought to a halt when one of T'Challa's peers, Tafari, summons dark forces in order to return Wakanda to the 'old ways' before vibranium was discovered.

Par David Archer. 2016
"After witnessing the murder-suicide of his parents as a child, Noah suffers from a form of PTSD that has left…
him without emotion, without a conscience and without the ability to function as a normal human being. With the help of childhood friends, he learns to watch others around him and mimic their behaviors, in order to conceal the fact that his mind operates more like a computer that he has spent years programming. That program is what allows Noah to pass himself off as normal, by establishing parameters of right and wrong that are completely inviolable to him. As a young adult, Noah finds structure in the U.S. Army, and becomes an excellent and exemplary soldier, but when his self-imposed programming is put to the test by the murderous acts of the superior officer, Noah finds himself quickly made expendable, charged with crimes he did not commit and facing the possibility of execution. Without any reasonable hope for a reprieve, Noah's logic-based mind accepts his fate. Sometimes, though, things are not all as they seem to be, and Noah is offered one chance to save himself. It was his disability, his lack of emotion, that made him the soldier he had become. Now, an ultrasecret organization known as E & E wants Noah's talents, offering him a chance to survive. As the most deadly assassin the world has ever known." -- Provided by publisherIn sheep's clothing (Noah Wolf thriller #03)

time, they find themselves working right here in the good ol' US of A, taking out the top echelons of an entire drug cartel, and Noah gets the chance to use some of Wally's supergadgets. The mission comes off better than anyone could have hoped, and the team heads for home. But then all four of their phones signal an incoming message: Neverland under attack! Only Team Camelot is still able to function, and Noah and his team are given the orders they thought they'd never hear: Go out on their own, and get the sons of bitches who did this!

civilization to the uncharted surface above. Out of her depths and helpless in her symbiotic mech suit, Ceph relies on Iliokai, a seal-folk storyteller, who sings the state of the sea and has seen evidence of clogged currents as she surfs the time gyres throughout the lonely blue. Navigating the perils of their damaged ocean environment, and seemingly insurmountable cultural differences, Ceph and Iliokai realize that the activities of terrestrial beings are slowing the spiralling currents of time. On a journey that connects future and past, the surface and the deep, the unlikely friends struggle to solve a problem so big it needs a leviathan solution." -- Provided by publisherBoys of blur

Par David Archer. 2016
"Noah Wolf is one of the world's most deadly assassins, completely devoid of emotion and conscience. These factors, which others…
would consider to be handicaps, allow him to evaluate situation instantly, and from a purely logical standpoint. His decisions and actions are never tainted by emotion or feelings, which frees him from any risk of fear or guilt. When Team Camelot is handed an unusual mission to rescue the abducted daughter of a foreign president, Noah and the rest go into it with confidence, and are quickly successful. Back home, they are ready to celebrate, but something doesn't feel right. The mission was too easy, and there are indicators that someone may have discovered who they are and tracked them back to Neverland. Noah's house is entered while the team is away, and he is unable to shake the feeling that the mission was nothing but a ruse to expose E & E. It doesn't take long for him to decide that they must return to the field, their new mission to track down a Russian counterpart of their own Allison Peterson. Nicolaich Andropov has marked Noah for termination, so Noah decides to use himself as bait to draw the man into a trap. Unfortunately, Andropov is known as a ghost, a man whose appearance is unknown, able to move in absolute secrecy and remain several steps ahead of any who pursue him. When Noah fails to recognize this fact, Sarah becomes a hostage and pawn in a battle to the death. There's only one tiny chance to save her, but it will mean Noah must go unarmed and alone to meet his nemesis. The game is on, with his own life and Sarah's as the prize." -- AmazonCurious George flies a kite

Par Michelle Sagara. 2013
"The Barrani would be happy to see her die. So Kaylin Neya is a bit surprised by her safe arrival…
in the West March. Especially when enemies new and old surround her and those she would call friends are equally dangerous. And then the real trouble starts. Kaylin's assignment is to be a "harmoniste"-one who helps tell the truth behind a Barrani Recitation. But in a land where words are more effective than weapons, Kaylin's duties are deadly. With the wrong phrase she could tear a people further asunder. And with the right ones...well, then she might be able to heal a blight on a race. If only she understood the story." -- Provided by publisherCast in fury (Chronicles of Elantra #04)

"When a minority race of telepaths is suspected of causing a near-devastating tidal wave, Private Kaylin Neya is summoned to…
Court-and into a PR nightmare. To ease racial tensions, the emperor has commissioned a play, and the playwright has his own ideas about who should be the focus. But Kaylin works her best magic behind the scenes, and though she tries to stay neutral, she is again drawn into a world of politics...and murder. To make matters worse, Marcus, her trusted sergeant, gets stripped of his command, leaving Kaylin vulnerable. Now she's juggling two troubling cases, and even magic's looking good by comparison. But then nobody ever said life in the theater was easy." -- Provided by publisherCast in deception (Chronicles of Elantra #13)

"Private Kaylin Neya thought her home couldn't possibly get more crowded. But when one of her housemates, Annarion, decides to…
undertake the Barrani Test of Name, his friends refuse to let him face his task alone-and Kaylin's sentient home, Helen, is the only structure capable of shielding the rest of Elantra from the magnitude of their power. Annarion and Mandoran almost caused the destruction of the High Halls once already. Add nine of their closest friends, and the danger is astronomically higher-especially since these guests are at the heart of a political firestorm. Imprisoned almost a millennium ago, their recent freedom threatens the rulership of several prominent Barrani families, and the machinations of those Lords make it almost impossible to tell friend from foe. As political tensions ramp up, the shadows beneath the High Halls are seeking a freedom that has never been possible before. Kaylin must find a way to keep those shadows from escaping, or that freedom will destroy her city, the empire and everything she holds dear." -- Provided by publisherSydney & Taylor explore the whole wide world (Sydney & Taylor #01)
