The Prophecy of the Heron Terms of service: Book 2 Never trust the shadows. Or a stranger. Or a friend. Welcome to district 33, the last stop for cultists and criminals alike, a crime-infested slum in which only the strongest and most savvy can survive.

Kim’s defiance has cost her dearly, and she has been exiled to the dangerous and decrepit outer districts. Unbowed and defiant, she struggles to survive and rebuild her life, even as the Director schemes to draw her back into her web of deception and the Hierarchy plots her final destruction.

She disappears into the shadows and thinks she has escaped, until an unexpected encounter in the enigmatic parallel universe of Virtual Reality draws her back, setting up an epic confrontation in which the fate of the AIs and civilization itself may hang in the balance.

1984 meets The Matrix in this stunning second book in the Terms of Service series.

David Joel Stevenson Author/Vocalist The Surface’s End “…for fans of The Hunger Games or The Maze Runner, but it particularly carried me back to works like Brave New World …” “This book literally turns a new page on an old YA genre, and does so with excellent writing, and characters you’ll come to care about deeply. You’ll read it in one sitting and become anxious for the film to be released.”

Victor Boone Will Save Us “This is the best book I’ve ever purchased at a con! Victor Boone is not your typical hero at all!” “I didn’t know what to expect when I started reading this story, but I was hooked after the first chapter! I really enjoyed this book.” Facebook Manic Bloom

S. Andrew Swann Author Dragon Princess Frank Blackthorne’s last heist did not end well. The virgin survived, but the episode left Frank on the run from a kingdom fullof demon-worshipping cultists eager to replace their sacrifice.

So, when the Court Wizard of Lendowyn, Elhared the Unwise, comes to him intending to hire someone to save Lendowyn’s Princess Lucille from a knight-eating dragon in return for riches, glory, an escape from the cultists after his blood, Frank is rightfully suspicious. After all, who hires a thief to save a princess?

However, Frank is also in no position to refuse.

Frank’s rescue attempt goes even worse than expected, failing in an explosion of spectacularly misapplied magic. He’s left stranded in Princess Lucille’s body, halfway across the kingdom. To try and set things right, he will have to team up with an understandably angry Princess Lucille — currently the body of a dragon — and face down thugs, slavers, elvish bookies, knights in shining armor, erudite barbarians, an evil queen, and the Hordes of the Dark Lord Natlac. “Not funny! Not funny at all!”~ Elhared the Unwise “A stain besmirching my honor … it shall be avenged!”~ Sir Forsythe the Good “It never goes wrong in the way you expect.”~ Frank Blackthorne

Dragon Thief All Frank Blackthorne wants is a little vacation from being the princess. The involuntary swap in gender has been bad enough, but being a figurehead for the Royal Court of Lendowyn is becoming downright oppressive. In a fit of drunken self-pity, Frank turns to using a cursed artifact, hoping to become a man again, if only temporarily.

The good news is he becomes a man again, a kingdom away from the Lendowyn court.

The bad news is the man whose body he now occupies belongs to a notorious thief wanted by every kingdom in the known world. A man of ruthless ambition who has left unimaginable destruction in his wake. A man who Frank has inadvertently deposited in the middle of the Lendowyn court in the body of the princess.

Now he’s stranded, his only allies a group of outcast teenage girls convinced that he’s the legendary master thief Snake. He must get back to Lendowyn — avoiding the armies of thieves, mercenaries, and assassins after the bounty on his new head. “Is a fate worse than death really too much to ask?”~ The Dark Lord Natlac “Please! Not this again!”~ King Dudley of Grunwald “Why me?”~ Frank Blackthorne Facebook Amazon

Vincent E.M. Thorn Author Skies of the Empire Book 1 of the Dreamscape Voyager trilogy In the Skies of the empire, only two things are more terrifying than dragons: the attentions of the gods, and the machinations of the Fae. Airship pilot Cassidy Durant finds herself entangled with both when a faerie named Hymn saves her life in exchange for protection against unknown enemies. This complicates her simple life of cargo trading, as to affiliate with the Fae is a death sentence in the Empire.

Meanwhile, reluctant mercenary Zayne Balthine is tasked by his employer – a devout worshipper of the Desert Goddess – to break into the Imperial Palace. It’s not his first suicide mission, but this time, things are different. That he’ll die should he fail is nothing new. But if he succeeds, he will be responsible for unfathomable death and devastation.
