Author: Amber Garr
Sometimes following your heart can end up destroying the ones you love.
When
seventeen-year-old Eviana Dumahl is faced with the responsibility of an
arranged marriage and clan leadership, she is forced to choose between
the life required of a mermaid and one of a teenage girl simply
infatuated with the wrong guy. Kain, her devoted fiance, would make a
wonderful husband except that she's been in love with Brendan, a
shape-shifting selkie, ever since they were kids. Choosing to abandon
her family, her clan, and her life with Kain will have dire consequences
far beyond anything she could have imagined.
A war is brewing
amongst the clans and Eviana unwittingly becomes a pawn in the intricate
schemes of a twisted mastermind. With Brendan's life on the line, she
has no choice but to involve those she once considered friends. Amidst
encountering senseless tragedies and immense loss, Eviana discovers that
she is more valuable as a clan leader than anyone ever suspected. Her
survival is not only dependent upon the loyalty of her friends, but also
on her acceptance of a life she so adamantly tried to escape.

Title: Bound (Dark Reflections #1)
Author: Dean Murray
The only thing worse
than having no family at all, is having a family that is out to hurt
you. That would all be bad enough for a normal 17-year-old, but it's
even worse for Alec Graves. A shape shifter's pack, his family, is the
only thing stopping the other preternatural creatures out there from
killing them.
Alec's pack isn't just neglectful, he's pretty sure
that his father wants him dead. Alec is about to be sent to the front
lines of a war between his people and everything else that goes bump in
the night. His only chance of survival is to convince everyone around
him that he's the perfect soldier, but there are lines that Alec won't
cross, not for any price.
Publisher's Note: Dean Murray's ongoing
Reflection Series has been a stunning success with hundreds of
thousands of copies in circulation, and a rich, complex world where
choices—right or wrong—have real, profound consequences. Unsatisfied
with the restrictions imposed on him by writing inside of the
conventional series structure, Dean has returned to Sanctuary and the
characters so many fans have fallen in love with.
Bound is the
first in Dean's new Dark Reflections novels, an alternate timeline set
in the same world and featuring many of the same characters, but with a
profoundly different backstory.
Readers new to Dean Murray's writing can start with Bound in the Dark Reflections Series or Broken in the Reflections Series.

Author: Madison Thorne Grey
Arturro and Isobel had the kind of love that lasts forever....In the fantasy realm above, known as Vehaven, a heartfelt action of a god inspires the creation of a new race of warriors.....And a love which was lost long ago alters the destinies of many…
Wharick,
the leader of a new race of green-eyed warriors finds more than beasts
and gypsies to battle when he discovers his stubborn, beautiful mate in
the midst of a dark forest he is now to call home.
Born with the
same binds around his wrists as his Gwarda brethren, he is the chosen
leader: the Gwardian. He must unite and lead the new race of cursed
warriors who now live in the black forest of Surchin. He fights with the
fire of a god; he kills the roaming beasts, battles the darkness,
strives only to fulfill the purpose he is constantly beckoned by the
gods to achieve. However, his priorities are altered the day he hears
the voice of his Destoul, his soul’s destiny. She is in the forest and
she is wounded. He will stop at nothing to find her, possess her, and
kill whoever dares to harm what belongs to him.
As regenerated souls find each other once again..
Keirah
and her younger druid sisters are all marked with a gem as it magically
appears embedded in their bodies. Now they find themselves without
parents and forced to live with strangers. They soon flee from the fires
of their new home into the forests that hold the most vile, the
Karpartha gypsies, and the god of death’s minions, known as Kravens.
They are held captive, victimized, and then separated.
Keirah begins
her journey to find her beloved sisters and, while doing so, finds the
destiny of her heart. She is instantly struck by the intense attraction
between the Gwardian and her. Being raised fiercely independent, she
struggles to admit her need and desire for the Gwarda male, because in
doing so, it threatens to destroy the shields she has built up to
protect her heart.
The Gwarda Warriors series
Had
Keirah and her sisters known what was set in motion the day their
stones appeared and how personally they would be affected by it, they
would have still fought the darkness, still battled for what belonged to
them. Anguish had fallen upon their people as darkness encompassed
their land, but through the darkness there came light.
The new race
of warriors would be their hope, their salvation, their loves’ destiny.
But they too could be tainted. They too could be seduced by the black
forces they had been created to fight against. If measuring by this
earthly realm’s time then it’s been years but in the unseen realm above
known as Vehaven, it has been but a moment.
Love knew no bounds,
knew no limitations. It looked beyond the unseen realm and reached in
for a taste, for a moment of regenerated happiness, and in that moment
fate was altered and the destinies of many were changed.
Their land, their Northbrook, they discovered, was a very magical place...
