Ariel After I lost my dad, my roomate, with his tighty-whitey, pizza eating, gaming habits, wasn't worth staying in Seattle for. So when I'm offered a job at an upscale mansion in the middle of Bum-Fuck-Ohio, I take it. I mean, what do I have to lose? The answer? Everything. Not only do I discover that my exceptionally good-looking, albeit moody, landlord is a werewolf, (A-Freaking-Werewolf!) but get this... and it's the real kicker, we are fated mates! The lust I feel for him is off the charts, which is odd since I'm human and humans being fated to werewolves is basically unheard of. There's also the fact that I keep passing out and having these crazy dreams that scare Ryker half to death. Then, I find out that it's no coincidence that my boss hired me. It seems everyone knows more about me, and the fact that I might not actually be human after-all, than I do. As I learn more about what I am, I'm left with more questions than answers. I do know that if left untrained, I'm dangerous for both Ryker and his pack. I have to fix that and fast!

Mary Robinette Kowal continues the grand sweep of alternate history begun in The Calculating Stars, The Fated Sky looks forward to 1961, when mankind is well-established on the moon and looking forward to its next step: journeying to, and eventually colonizing, Mars.

A family tragedy forces us together again and we confront what tore us apart. I'm faced with the hardest decision of my life. Should I forgive or should I finally let go and let him have this last goodbye?*This is intended for mature audiences

When Galen flees his home and travels to Lunar's Reach, he does what he needs to survive. But trading his body for food in his belly is always a risky undertaking.

Little does he know that the Moon Flower flourishes at night-in more ways than one. Gentlemen gather in secret, yearning for an evening with Galen and the others, where they offer pleasure willingly while exploring their desires. But Galen's eye is continually drawn to the most unassuming man in the room-Azriel, the resident healer, who has the most unusual aura Galen has ever seen. There's an understated melancholy in him that Galen longs to soothe, and the more time they spend together, the more he craves to know Azriel's touch. But security is only a threadbare veneer for those like him, and soon danger is upon their doorstep. Galen has only ever needed to protect himself, but now he belongs to an ensemble of unlikely characters who've become the family he never had. So he'll put himself on the line, along with his heart, if it means keeping them safe-especially Azriel, the man who quiets his restless soul. Please note: Moon Flower is set in an imaginary world reminiscent of our nineteenth century, with some fantastical elements and without explicit rules. Some liberties were taken for the sake of fiction-and, of course, romance. Trigger warning: Discussions and depictions of assault which are physical and sexual in nature, as well as a background characterization that some might find taboo or unconventional.
