Everyone wants me dead: a demon, a lamia vampire lord, even a dragon. But now an unknown enemy wants even more... From former army officer William Stacey comes Firestorm, the third book in an exciting new blend of urban fantasy and military adventure. The war we feared has come, and leading the invading army is the only remaining dragon, the "Black Death." If it's not stopped, the dragon will slaughter thousands. I'm Angie Ritter, former army mage and the first source mage to be born in centuries. I might be able to stop the dragon. If I can learn to control my new magic. If I can master the ancient entity possessing me. If I can act like a grownup and stop fantasizing about the sexy were-jaguar I'm traveling with. Oh, and if I can avoid getting my heart cut out, or drained of my blood, or burned to death... or, well, any of the countless other grisly deaths that await me. Now something haunts my dreams. Something hungry. FML. Warning: Contains scenes of sexual situations, realistic violence, and soldiers talking like soldiers. If you like Myke Cole, Michael Anderle, K.F. Breene, and Shayne Silvers, you'll love this exciting new series.

A talking sword, an Academy for Mages, and terrifying demons everywhere? This term is going to be intense. I grew up scavenging for discarded mage tech my uncle could sell, while trying to avoid the monsters in the Scraps. Not the best upbringing, but at least I had my little brother Briar and my best friend Sterling. At night we'd lift our eyes to the magnificent floating city of mages, watch the sparkling lights and dream of magic and wonder. Then one day the unthinkable happens: my uncle sells me to a nobleman with a death wish, who wants me to infiltrate the prestigious academy of magic pretending to be a mage, and more alarmingly, a lady. The first would be difficult enough, without any real magic, the second seems even more impossible. I've never worn a dress in my life. But nobody asked my opinion. I get in, thanks to a clever piece of mage-tech, but it's only a matter of time before someone uncovers that I'm a fraud and exposes the charade. My professor, Markus Du Lac, is already suspicious, and the impossibly handsome prince, sixth in line for the throne, seems strangely fascinated with me - more than enough to make me the sworn enemy of the girl who's courting him. Thrust into a world of magic, I must fool the Academy's faculty and students into proving I'm one of them. But not all is as it seems in the shining kingdom of mages. Secret dangers hide around every corner, which threaten to change my life forever. As I search the school's library for valuable treasure and forbidden archives, I'm shocked to discover I have more magical talent than I realized. Even if I succeed my mission and escape with my life, things will never be the same. The Source of Magic is a young adult fantasy adventure suitable for ages 13 and up. Fans who enjoyed Rachel Carter's Black Mage series and Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy will love this sprawling magical academy setting full of monsters, mages, murder and romantic intrigue.

In this exciting adventure mixed with amazing scientific study, a young, exuberant explorer and geoscientist journeys deep into the Amazon—where rivers boil and legends come to life. When Andrés Ruzo was just a small boy in Peru, his grandfather told him the story of a mysterious legend: There is a river, deep in the Amazon, which boils as if a fire burns below it. Twelve years later, Ruzo—now a geoscientist—hears his aunt mention that she herself had visited this strange river. Determined to discover if the boiling river is real, Ruzo sets out on a journey deep into the Amazon. What he finds astounds him: In this long, wide, and winding river, the waters run so hot that locals brew tea in them; small animals that fall in are instantly cooked. As he studies the river, Ruzo faces challenges more complex than he had ever imaged. The Boiling River follows this young explorer as he navigates a tangle of competing interests—local shamans, illegal cattle farmers and loggers, and oil companies. This true account reads like a modern-day adventure, complete with extraordinary characters, captivating plot twists, and jaw-dropping details—including stunning photographs and a never-before-published account about this incredible natural wonder. Ultimately, though, The Boiling River is about a man trying to understand the moral obligation that comes with scientific discovery —to protect a sacred site from misuse, neglect, and even from his own discovery.

In July 1903 Leonidas Hubbard set out to explore the uncharted interior of Labrador by canoe, accompanied by Dillon Wallace, his best friend, and George Elson, a Métis guide. Bad luck and bad judgment led the expedition into disaster and the party was forced to turn back. Hubbard died of starvation just thirty miles from camp. Two years later Wallace decided to complete the overland expedition and clear himself of blame for Hubbard's death. He had, however, a rival - Mina Hubbard. She blamed Wallace for her husband's death and, with Elson as her guide, intended to complete the trek first. The result was an epic race between the avenging widow and her husband's best friend. Reconstructing the story from the long-lost journals and diaries of the 1903 and 1905 expeditions, James Davidson and John Rugge trace the explorers' routes and re-create the saga. Great Heart is a gripping drama of individuals pushed to the limits of human endurance.
