The Gilded King
The Gilded King Josie Jaffrey
In the Blue, the world’s last city, all is not well.
Julia is stuck within its walls. She serves the nobility from a distance until she meets Lucas, who believes in fairytales that her world can’t accommodate. The Blue is her prison, not her castle, and she’d escape into the trees if she didn’t know that contamination and death awaited humanity outside.
But not everyone in the Blue is human, and not everyone can be contained.
Beyond the city’s boundaries, in the wild forests of the Red, Cameron has precious little humanity left to lose. As he searches for a lost queen, he finds an enemy rising that he thought long dead. An enemy that the humans have forgotten how to fight.
One way or another, the walls of the Blue are going to come down.

Love the cover! Cover is totally what made me click to read the blurb.
I tend to hesitate when blurbs have a female & male povs especially in teen fiction because of my reading preferences - but the premise is strong enough to make me want to read it. Search for a lost queen... intriguing! I've gone and picked up a copy.
Sky Keeper Preview
Sky Keeper Preview S.M. Gaither
For centuries, the Caspian empire has remained safe and hidden below the ocean, protected from the surface world—and from that ocean that separates them—by a great barrier maintained by magic.
Aven Talavir has spent her entire life learning to be a keeper of that barrier, channeling her powers into maintaining and healing it.
But now an impossibly sinister force seeks to shatter it.
To stop the flood of destruction, Aven sets off on a quest to find an ancient power that may be able to permanently heal the makeshift sky. Reaching it will mean fighting her way through dangerous politics and deadly magic, all while finding love and friendship in unexpected places—
Only to realize that the greatest treachery may not lie in the breaking sky,
but in the very hearts of the people around her.

Harper hoped the invitation to the Solar School of Sorcery would be their salvation. They're determined to graduate as a hero - a Sunweaver, a protector of the mundane world above when the shadowy Phantoms rise from the center of the Earth each night. Being non-binary in a school where magic is segregated by sex, however, means that not everyone wants them to succeed. The sweat, the tears, the anxious nights full of dread and dreams...it's all come down to the final exam. If Harper can slay a Prime Phantom before dawn, they'll prove everyone wrong. If they fail, they'll lose even their memories. (A 4,700 word short story.)
The first few pages suck you in and then you can’t stop reading.

Great cover and an intriguing premise.
I'm delighted to include Patty Jansen's Ambassador 1: Seeing Red among my "select few." Deftly and swiftly, her beginning shifts into high, machine-gunning intriquing clues vis a vis later reveals. One knows just enough about what's going on to continue reading without scratching one's head, but not enough to make the whole book a fait accompli. Quick immersion in tight, realistic action promises a great read.
No matter what Patty Jansen writes, there is always that underlying personality that makes her books interesting AND there are her sometimes wildly imaginative worlds that forgo the bounds of what we all know and expect. They give us something entertaining and surprising. And she is Australian. If that comment doesn't make sense then you will have to just read her stories to see what I mean. It is meant in a good way.
Incredible work by an author I truly admire!
Very intriguing! This is promising to be very interesting series... Keep it coming, Patty!
A Prncess of Bars
A Prncess of Bars Jim LeMay
What if Captain John Carter, for the sake of self-aggrandizement, lied to Mr. Edgar Rice Burroughs about his trips to Barsoom? What if Dejah, instead of descending from a lineage of “ten thousand jeddaks” (emperors) as Carter claimed, had begun life as an orphaned street urchin? And what if she preferred a giant, four-armed green man to him? Maybe the Martians looked upon Jack Carter with less favor than he claimed, some indeed with open contempt. Read Dejah’s assessment of Captain Carter in this action-packed short story, “A Princess of Bars.”

Eighteen years ago, my parents traded my life to save my baby sister. Faerie magic is wild and willful, and to deviate from my place as a changeling servant would mean risking my sister’s life.

The Calling
The Calling DH Bookstore
To be different…
My entire life I’ve always been different from everyone else, and in Lytonia, being different is treated as a crime. In my case, I was granted a pass. I was given a second chance to prove that I could fall in line, but with my lack of power, that would be impossible.
In only a few months, I must present my abilities to the council and prove to them that I am worthy of walking the halls of Monroe Academy, but Artemis, my tormentor and superior officer, will stop at nothing to keep me from excelling. Being powerless and not proving myself means that I could be made a slave, and Artemis would become my master.

Code of Rainbow: Soaring Flame and the Dragon...
Code of Rainbow: Soaring Flame and the Dragon-transcending Magimal Weiqi Wang
This is the first book of a teen fantasy book series that nurtures the bloom of MAGIC in the soil of SCIENCE - something rarely attempted. The transition from magic to science will be bit by bit, so the early books do read like a "mainstream" magic fantasy.
Soarame has a pair of special eyes. He can see magic elements in this world, which are supposed to be invisible. This enviable gift of his could reveal the truth of the world, but it also puts him in danger.
Many animals in this world possess magic power, so they are called “magimals” - dragons as examples. Soarame fortunately got a baby magimal as his best friend, but they got into troubles together - troubles that were a lot bigger than dragons.
Could they survive?

Unique art style. Gritty fantasy plot line. And of course, goblins! It's exactly what it says on the tin. :)
If you want an example of improvisation in some fantasy genre, look no further than this book. It also contains lots of dragons and chemistry that goes wrong!
The Descendants
The Descendants DH Bookstore
Monroe Academy was built to separate the weak from the strong. Pass the biyearly leveling and be released into society upon graduation. Fail to be promoted and be stripped of rank and forced into servitude.
That was a rule that applied to all but Rayah Bardeau. A student of Monroe Academy, branded as a Null because of her absence of Lighter energy. With her mother standing as a slave in her place, Rayah was given until the age of twenty to make level six, but at nineteen-years-old and with only eight months until her twentieth birthday, she was only a mere level one. The same level she’s been since she was ten.
With the stress of her upcoming test, the loss of a friend, and the constant wrongdoings towards her, Rayah could only dream of escaping from Lytonia, and escape she did...

I love how scary the title sounds. That's an amazing cover, and I'm curious about "corporate magicians" and "living architecture." Neat!
Dark fairytales are my crack. This is going on my to-read.

Freedom has a price.
Luna wants to find her place in the world. And so despite the ever-hungry beast living within her, she strikes a deal with a prince to fight for him in a cross-arena tournament. The blood of others is the price she is willing to pay for her dream of independence, of freedom.
Yet the world isn’t there to fulfill the hopes of a young girl. The competition turns into a war between its organizers, the Slaver Union, and the Order of Palai, which has had enough of slavery. The religious fanatics would burn her alive while the slavers would feed her to demons.
Caught between devils dressed in the skins of men, overwhelmingly powerful wizards, and the monstrous spirit devouring her from within, will Luna slip out of the jaws of destiny or die trying?

White Heart
White Heart DH Bookstore
She was a Light Elf Warrior, and I, a Dark Elf Princess, but we weren’t so different, were we?
From two opposing kingdoms, our people have been fighting for thousands of years. First, with the will of the gods, but after the bloodshed and loss, they fought for revenge.
I was taught that the Light Elves were heartless killers, but it was hard to believe that someone with such a benevolent spirit could be as heartless as they say.
That’s probably why I ended up falling in love.
I should’ve known better though. I should’ve known the consequences of falling for her kind.
The night I thought that we were finally going to be together, I found myself alone at the bottom the ocean with more power than any elf could bare.
I had the power to destroy kings…and maybe even end a war.

I was a descendant of the damned, destined for unfortunate things.
It was just that simple, and for a long time, I accepted it.
But when my leader gave me a thirteen year old girl named Jackie and forced me into guardianship, things seemed to lose their simplicity.
I was a hunter and a killer. Not a babysitter, and I had lost too much in my life to risk getting attached to her.
And yet, the more time we spent together, the more I began wanting things that I couldn't have.
Things like a family. Things like a better life for the two of us.
I should've known the gods would never allow me happiness.

I loved this story! It drew me in and hooked me. I stayed up late reading it. Astrid’s character while starting out thinking she’s a monster and unsure of her past, comes to love and appreciate herself. In her quest to save the survivors of her village, she learns the truth of her past, and must come to terms with it and make the choice of who she wants to be. She’s strong, courageous, and vulnerable—all the things a good heroine needs to be. I look forward to reading the next story in the series.
Strong characters and great story!
This looks intense! Just the type of read I love diving into!! I'm excited to find out more. :) I love the cover as well. :)
Fantastic cover and intriguing synopsis. Excited to find out more...
This cover catches my eye every time. I can't wait to dive into this book!
