Katie Flynn is the pen name of the much-loved writer, Judy Turner, who published over ninety novels in her lifetime. Judy's unique stories were inspired by hearing family recollections of life in Liverpool during the early twentieth century, and her books went on to sell more than eight million copies. Judy passed away in January 2019, aged 82. 
 
The legacy of Katie Flynn lives on through her daughter, Holly Flynn, who continues to write under the Katie Flynn name. Holly worked as an assistant to her mother for many years and together they co-authored a number of Katie Flynn novels. 
 
Holly lives in the north east of Wales with her husband Simon and their two children. When she's not writing she enjoys walking her dog Tara in the surrounding countryside, and cooking forbidden foods such as pies, cakes and puddings! She looks forward to sharing many more Katie Flynn stories, which she and her mother devised together, with readers in the years to come.

Harbinger

Melissa de la Cruz

Every barmaid dreams of a prince. Aren just didn’t expect hers to be cursed, arrogant, and bleeding magical ruin all over her tavern floor. 
 
Prince Dietan is brooding, entitled, and bound to the Rings of Fate - ancient magical relics that were never meant to touch human flesh. Now they’re killing him. Slowly. Spectacularly. And when Aren accidentally triggers one, she gets tied to the curse, too. 
 
If he dies, so does the kingdom. If she walks away, she’ll take the magic - and half the realm - down with her. 
 
Their only hope? Each other.

A royal library, a trapped goddess and a world that needs saving. 
 
An indentured servant in a royal library is thrust into a race against time to free the goddess of peace and wisdom and save the world, aided only by an unlikely team—including a prince with no kingdom, a thief with no honor, an assassin with no sword, a sorceress with no magic, a warrior with no courage, and a tiger with no home—in spite of the chronic depression that brands her as a graymind, reviled by society.

Ship of Spells

Shanora Williams

After a dark sorcerer curses her sister, Zaira must find a way to save her only living relative before they die. In order for that to happen, she has to enter a deadly temple no man has ever survived to reach the Prosperity Stone. 
 
As a mere mortal in Thelanor living amongst magic wielders and beasts who blend in with their society, it seems there’s no way she can survive such a mission. 
 
That is until she stumbles across Thane Valkor, a mysterious, brooding man of few words. One look at Thane and not only does Zaira feel an irritatingly profound connection to him, but she comes to the realization that he is exactly the person she needs in order to save her sister’s life.

Mayhem and the Mortal

Devney Perry

The much anticipated follow up to the slow-burn, high-stakes romantasy where enemies become lovers, monsters stalk a cursed realm, and a forgotten princess finds the strength to tear off her crown and become the warrior she was never meant to be.

Rites of the Starling

Long ago, the gods unleashed monsters to remind us of our insignificance. 
 
But I didn’t need a deity to tell me I was powerless. Being a princess had never been more than a performance. 
 
Until the day an infamous monster hunter sailed to our shores. The day I married a stranger, signed a magical treaty, and set off across the continent to the most treacherous kingdom in all the realm. 
 
That was the day I learned that not all myths are make-believe. 
 
And that the only way to kill the monsters we fear was to become one . . .

Shield of Sparrows

Abigail Owen

The gods love to play with us mere mortals. And every hundred years, we let them… 
 
I have never been favored by the gods. Far from it, thanks to Zeus. 
 
Living as a cursed office clerk for the Order of Thieves, I just keep my head down and hope the capricious beings who rule from Olympus won't notice me. Not an easy feat, given San Francisco is Zeus' patron city, but I make do. I survive. Until the night I tangle with a different god. 
 
The worst god. Hades. 
 
For the first time ever, the ruthless, mercurial King of the Underworld has entered the Crucible - the deadly contest the gods hold to determine a new ruler to sit on the throne of Olympus. But instead of fighting their own battles, the gods name mortals to compete in their stead. 
 
So why in the Underworld did Hades choose me - a sarcastic nobody with a curse on her shoulders - as his champion? And why does my heart trip every time he says I’m his? 
 
I don’t know if I’m a pawn, bait, or something else entirely to this dangerously tempting god. How can I, when he has more secrets than stars in the sky? 
 
Because Hades is playing by his own rules…and Death will win at any cost.
