I've sent an evil goblin demigod to the Lower Hells. I'm coming to terms with my burgeoning new powers. I'm marrying super sexy paladin Mychael Eiliesor. You'd think I could handle a wedding and meeting my soon-to-be mother-in-law without another calamity brewing. You'd be wrong! The new, thankfully non-psychotic, Goblin King is willing to come to the table to discuss a peace treaty. The Isle of Mid is the site of these delicate negotiations, meaning all hands on deck for Mychael and his Conclave Guardians. When the head of elven intelligence (and my wedding guest) Duke Markus Sevelien is nearly assassinated upon his arrival, I suspect my mother-in-law will be the least of my concerns. Sabotaging the peace talks is the first salvo in a treacherous and deadly new apocalyptic plot. Mychael and I might not make it to the altar after all!

YOU THINK YOU KNOW THE WORLD OF MAGICAL BOARDING SCHOOLS? NOT FROM A TEACHER'S PERSPECTIVE AT A SCHOOL FOR AT-RISK YOUTH. Adult Content Warning: Get cozy with this hexy mystery. Clarissa Lawrence wishes that for once in her life everything would go smoothly and according to plan. She would like a fairy tale wedding-minus an uninvited Fae and a unicorn stampede running amok. A smooth wedding might be a wish even a djinn can't grant considering the Raven Queen is set on abducting Clarissa, an ex with a hex has found out about her plans to marry and has vowed to kill the groom, and the wickedest witch in all the land insists on being her maid of honor.

Clarissa really would like to be good and not kill anyone on her wedding day, but who she sides with-and against-may depend on the man she chooses to be with in the end.

From national bestselling author Lisa Shearin comes a new chapter in "one of the best fantasy series currently on the market." (Night Owl Reviews) My name is Raine Benares—and it sucks to be me right now. I’m a seeker who found the Saghred, a soul-stealing stone that gave me unlimited powers I never wanted. Now I’ve lost the rock—and the magic it gave me—to a goblin dark mage whose main goals are my death and world domination. This is more than incentive enough for a little trip to the goblin capital of Regor with a small band of good friends, not-so-good friends, and one outright enemy. Don’t ask. All we need to do is destroy the Saghred, kill the mage, and put a renegade goblin prince on the throne. Did I mention I’ll be doing that with no magic?
