New Releases by Shannon Mayer

The last journey into the unknown for Zamira, Lila and Maks The Storm Queen has been defeated. And the first two challenges have been conquered. You''d think that it would be all downhill from here. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy. Well, if it was downhill at warp speed into more trouble, then you''d be absolutely correct. The demon city sits before us, and beyond that lies the castle of Asag, the beast from the east. He has our friends. He has our magic. He has the dragon hatchlings. What have we got? Unexpected allies, a twisted path that has our heads spinning, and as the truth comes clear, the realization that defeating a demon on his own turf . . .might not be possible. Does that stop us from trying? Not for a second. So here we go. Into the darkness, into the fog, and come what may we stand together to face it all down.

Gran used to say that a strong woman looks a challenge in the eye and gives it a wink. To be sure, flirting with challenges is a terrible idea. Ask me how I know. All Bree really wants is to bury her head in the sand, somewhere in the south of France while a hot pool boy rubs lotion on her back. Instead, Bree gets blackmailed by the Council of Savannah into a job she doesn''t want-though it does take her to France. They need her to bring a witch back to Savannah for a trial that Bree is sure is a load of hooey. But not just any witch. The first one. The oldest one. The one who makes a t-rex look like he''s howling about a sore tooth. The one who makes the wicked witch of the west look like your sweet old nanny, the one who . . .well you get the picture. Bree''s job? Find her. Befriend her. And convince her to come back to Savannah for safekeeping. But someone else has gotten a head start, and their reasons for tracking down the miserable old witch are far worse than the council''s reasons. None other than a sexy, growly blacksmith with pretty eyes who makes Bree''s panties melt even though she knows he isn''t for her. And he is looking for the same miserable old lady. Throw in a lovesick siren, and a slew of new problems, and you''ve got Bree''s next adventure busting at the seams. And no, it isn''t because her pants are too small.

Queen of the fae courts. Faced with an impossible battle. Destined to never be with the Unseelie I love. The magical tea has worn off. My eyes are wide open. And it''s with horror that I realize the fate of two realms rests on my shoulders after my mother''s ultimate sacrifice to trap Rubezahl in Underhill. Terrified humans clamoring for answers, whispered rumors from both Seelie and Unseelie, and a stepmother who seeks the throne for surprising reasons are the least of my troubles. Rubezahl has returned far sooner than I thought possible. I''m not ready. I can''t win this. And not only that... He has something crucial if we are to win. He''s taken something I cannot live without. The place of the final battle has been decided, and two armies will meet. Yet forces beyond my understanding must be satisfied first--old magics rise and demand their dues. There is no option but to race and decipher the puzzle to save the man I love, the friends more important to me than my own life, and humans and fae alike. Two realms. Only I can save them. We''re screwed. If you can''t get enough of Sarah J. Mass, Holly Black, or Jennifer L. Armentrout, you will love this vibrant world where impossible love and an explosive pace will leave you breathless!

One last time, the Phoenix will rise, and her flames will savage all who stand between her and those she loves... The game is afoot, and I never saw it coming. A game of demons, angels and new breed of abnormal that is beyond anything else I''ve faced. A monstrosity that is bent on destroying every other abnormal on the planet. Only one thing can stop those who would wipe us out. A cursed weapon. Created by a person who has been dead a long time. With an impossible task at hand, I can no longer face the darkness on my own. Even for me, the Phoenix, I need people at my back and my side. The clock is ticking as my team and I race to find the curse, the weapon, and the final pieces that will save the world. And when the darkness rises to consume us, I will have to face my greatest fears. Will I survive my own flames, or will I burn the world and my own existence up to save those I love?

Looking to rescue dragon hatchlings? Check. Piss off a demon in the process? Check. Have my mate stolen by a raging psycho who wants his babies? Damn . . . . I, Zamira "Reckless" Wilson, do solemnly swear I wanted a vacation from trouble. The problem is, trouble did not want a vacation from me or those that I love. We managed to pass the first test set out for us by the desert goddess on our path to finding the dragon hatchlings. Of course, that means I really have the eye of Asag, the Beast from the East, on me now. Maks has been taken by a woman known as the Storm Queen. As her pet and possibly as her baby daddy. So instead of going after the second step that would take us closer to Asag and the dragons, I am racing south to the Sea of Storms to rescue Maks. Queen or no queen, I am not giving up on my mate. But like all things in my life, nothing is going as planned. I''ve ended up with another Jinn to deal with, a five-year-old shifter who loves to call out my cursing, and a detour that takes me away from Maks. The clock is ticking, and we are closing in on the players that would stop us from making things right . . .if only my black cat bad luck would ease off, we''d be good.

Book Five in the smash PWF hit! Breena''s misadventures continue in this next installment as she faces her fears about kissing the hot guy, dealing with a powerhouse nemesis, and figuring out why everyone in town is acting . . .like zombies. Full Blurb Coming Soon!

The Desert Cursed Series should be read by people who can root for an underdog, have a good sense of humor, a love for high-paced action, and a taste for a blend of magic that even a Muggle could love. With over half a million copies sold, when you indulge in the Desert Cursed series, you''re in good company. Witch''s Reign (Book 1) They think her an underdog against impossible odds... And she will fight tooth and nail to prove them wrong. The Witch''s Reign...a land of eternal, unnatural winter ruled by the Ice Witch. In turn, she is guarded by three supernatural creatures who wander her lands hunting for unwary souls, killing any who cross their paths. To get to the Witch''s Reign, you first must pass through the Dragon''s Ground. Full of dragons, who for the record, do not like trespassers. This is where I am headed, though my mentor has forbidden me. My best friend was sent with a team into the Witch''s Reign to recover a powerful jewel that belongs to our mentor, and they are long overdue to come back. That leaves me, Zamira "Reckless" Wilson to go after my friend. Forbidden or not. Somehow, I get saddled with a human male tagging along for the ride. A human that is as weak and useless as my own shifting abilities. Throw in a sentient magical weapon that tries to kill me every time I touch it, and a small dragon that has a penchant for Shakespearean insults, and you''ve got my journey in a nutshell. May the sands of the desert swallow me whole because this is going to be a damn bumpy ride. Dragon''s Ground (Book 2) Dragons and danger and magic collide... And it''s only Monday. We survived the land of the Witch''s Reign, that much is true. But our arrival home is far from welcome. My idiot brother has taken it upon himself to ride off in search of a mythical healer, someone who might help him walk again. Assuming she doesn''t eat him first. Because said healer is a dragon and happens to reside in the deepest reaches of the Dragon''s Ground. Like I said, idiot. I''d go after him myself, but his leave-taking is not the only problem I face. My mentor has yet again forbidden me to leave the safety of the Stockyards. Her reasoning? That I am too weak to weather the coming storms. With my pride wounded in more ways than one, I must gather the few allies'' I have left. My ex-husband''s new girlfriend at the top of the list and a goat bleating, oversexed Satyr. FML. If I''m lucky I''ll find a small dragon and a Jinn whose blue eyes still haunt my dreams along the way. Buckle up, buttercup, this ride is about to take a seriously unforeseen twist. Jinn''s Dominion (Book 3) There was nothing that could have prepared me for Dragon''s Ground. And I thought that nothing could be worse than what I faced there. Just my black cat bad luck, the world is set to prove me wrong. South lies the Jinn''s Dominion and within it the members of my Pride who need my help. The further south we go, the more danger comes not only from outside our group but from within. Ishtar''s new hunters. Marsum leader of the Jinn. And the Emperor himself. All three want something from me. All three claim they can give me the world on a silver platter, to give me my deepest desires. Color me cautious, but I think all three are lying. Or so it seems until I reach the Jinn''s Dominion and discover the truth... About who I really am. And what that means for my fate and the fate of those I love.

Orphaned. Trained to fight. Raised to fear the power of Underhill. Secretly in love with a man who doesn''t want me. I''m still just Alli, aka the half-human orphan fae, but my life is looking up for the first time. It only took me my whole 24 years. But when Underhill-the ancestral home of the fae-shatters, making it impossible for any fae to enter, I''m the only one who knows who did it. A secret that will be the death of me if I do nothing. A brutal madness spreads through the fae as they lose their connection to Underhill, and to save my people, my only choice is to leave all I have fought for and go on the run.Unless I figure out how the hell magic that has existed since the dawn of time was destroyed with a single touch, well, an entire life spent fighting to prove myself isn''t going to mean anything at all.I must find the answer to the riddle of Underhill''s shattering.Hunted by the very man I loved once upon a time. If you love Jennifer L. Armentrout, Sarah J. Mass, Holly Black or Elise Kova, you will love this dive into a world of the fae, forbidden love, and a story that will leave you breathless for more.

You Don''t Choose The Academy. The Academy Chooses You. "This book is Harry Potter meets the Hunger Games in a bold twist on a classic magical young adult adventure." Jaymin Eve, Bestselling Author of Supernatural Academy I''ve made it through the Culling Trials, the test that proved my mettle against every possible challenge.

I am what this supernatural world calls a Chameleon--a rarity even amongst all these monsters. And rare things are coveted and feared by the most powerful of all--The House Of Wonder.

A Teenage Girl Torn from her Family Must Survive a Series of Deadly Trials to Earn her Place in a Dangerous School of Magic, from Bestselling Authors K.F. Breene and Shannon Mayer You don''t choose The Academy. The Academy chooses you. I had no idea how those words would change my life, until the day the most dangerous man I’ve ever met waltzed onto my farm and left us a death sentence. My younger brother has been chosen for The Academy: the prestigious, secret school of magic hidden within the folds of our mundane world. A place where there’s no guarantee you’ll make it out alive. If he doesn''t go, our entire family will be killed. It’s the same invitation my older brother received three years ago—and he never came home. The Academy has already killed one sibling, and I’ll be damned if they take another. So I do the only thing an older sister can: chop off my hair, strap on two bras to flatten the girls, and take my brother’s place. Magic and monsters are real. Assassins are coming for me, and the dead are prone to rise. What’s a girl faking it as a boy supposed to do? Being accepted into an elite school of magic, monsters, and assassins was not my idea of higher education. But here I am, fighting my way through the deadly physical and mental tests of the Culling Trials to claim my right to be taught. In a cutthroat world where no one is as they seem, the golden rule is simple: Trust no one. The Academy tells us we should just look out for ourselves. That we should leave the fallen behind and ask no questions. Not on my watch.

The odds are stacked against her as she faces her greatest challenge yet...But that''s nothing new in her world.The fifth in the plot twisting, heart pounding, magic-riddled, USA Today bestselling Desert Cursed series. I thought I had the next steps in my journey plotted out. I thought I knew where I was going and who I was going with-the usual crew of Lila the smart-mouthed tiny dragon, Ford the man who would be my mate if I let him, and Balder, the horse who has carried me through more danger than I can count. Crap on a camel, I could not have been more wrong. My world is turned upside down when my crew somehow gains two people who would as soon kill me, as see me succeed. Even with this new twist, I must get to the crossroads before the golden moon rises if we have any chance of dethroning the Emperor and bringing my brother back from the dead.Along the way I find myself in treacherous waters facing new dangers, new enemies and a choice that no one should ever have to make. Maks''s life is in my hands, and in the end, will love be enough to save him, or will I have to say goodbye to him once and for all?

I''ve been banished to the desert for years after saving a life I should have let the darkness take.

My name is Pamela, and I am the strongest witch the world has ever seen. Only I’m not just a witch, I’m an elemental, and that truth makes me a target and a threat. The elementals of this world are done hiding in the shadows. And there is a faction of them who want to rule our world. They want to put the humans beneath their heels, and they want all the power to themselves. Standing between them and their goal are only two people, two that still hold a connection to Spirit, the key to stopping them. Myself, and my father. But the elementals we face are no fools. They’ve taken the most precious thing from us both. A child who could be everything they need to force all the elementals to bend a knee. A child whom I’ve always known was special. They’ve taken Frost. If I have to break the world again to find him, I will. Because I’m done hiding too. And the elementals had better be ready to play.

I foolishly thought Id survived the worst. I foolishly thought there wasnt much more I could lose until the nature of my bloodline comes to light.

Hope is a four letter word. Yet, I can''t help but hope that the Oracle will be the answer to what I seek. But getting to the Oracle is no small thing as she resides in the center of the Blasted lands--toxic waste, lava, and monsters. And as the alpha of our Pride, it''s up to me to act responsibly and not get my people all killed. Driving us from behind comes the desert goddess whose rage is centered on me, and with her is a new ally, who still holds my heart in his hands. One whose voice calls to me still. Eyes on the prize, I will push forward, even though hope feels weak and pointless. Along the way, maybe my heart will heal, maybe I''ll bring my brother back from the dead, maybe this will turn out okay after all. Or maybe I will lose everything, and everyone I hold dear and discover I''m not meant to save anyone. Hope might spring eternal, but she''s a right bitch as far as I can see.

Pamela is a witch who fights against black magaic.

From the world of Rylee Adamson and the Elemental Series comes a heroine with nothing to lose and everything to prove.... "My name is Pamela, and I am a witch who has no equal." Or so I thought. It has been three years since the Destroyer sundered our world. The land is no longer whole, but broken into pieces, most technology gone, and the continents shattered into an unrecognizable place. New monsters have risen from the depths, adding danger on top of danger. Through it all the humans fight to survive as they compete not only with the supernaturals for food and resources, but their own kind as well. And me? The caravans of humans I pass, they look to me to save them. Only I am not the witch I once was. Bound by those who fear my power and my bloodline, I''m lucky if I can light a match with my magic, never mind protect anyone but myself. Now, the darkness in me rises, offering me all that I want. Freedom from the chains I wear, and the power to make everything right. But if I embrace the darkness I will face a cost I could never have imagined...

In this THIRD installment of Zamira''s journey, she will be faced with losing her Pride, and her two closest friends as she fights her way into the Jinn''s Dominion.

We survived the land of the Witch''s Reign, that much is true. But our arrival home is far from welcome. My idiot brother has taken it upon himself to ride off in search of a mythical healer, someone who might help him walk again. Assuming she doesn''t eat him first. Because she''s a dragon and happens to reside in the deepest reaches of the Dragon''s Ground. Like I said, idiot. I''d go after him myself, but his leave-taking is not the only problem I face.

"This main character has echoes of Rylee Adamson, yet still holds her own flare, the world building is unique and the book has some beautiful snarky humor that left me gobbling it up! The author has a deft hand at bringing bad ass women to life, I can''t wait for book two!"~~ReviewerThe Witch''s Reign...a land of unnatural hellish cold ruled over by the Ice Witch herself, who is in turn guarded by three creatures-Wolf, Bear, and Raven. Those lovely beasts derive their power directly from their mistress and just happen to kill any who cross their paths. To get THERE, you first must pass through the Dragon''s Ground. Full of, you guessed it, dragons who for the record, also do not like trespassers.Sounds like a fun place to go, doesn''t it? Yeah, not so much. You see the thing is my best friend, Darcy was sent with a team into the Witch''s Reign to recover a powerful jewel that belongs to our mentor, and they are long overdue to come back. That leaves me, Zamira "Reckless" Wilson to go after my friend because no one else will. Somehow, I get saddled with a human-a male no less!-tagging along for the ride. A human that is as weak and useless as my shifting abilities. Throw in a weapon that might be trying to kill me, and a small dragon that has a penchant for Shakespearean insults, and you''ve got my life in a nutshell.May the sands of the desert swallow me whole because this is going to be a friggin bumpy ride.

To save my son, I would give up my soul. To survive this journey and stop those who face us I may have to do just that. My son is waiting for me to bring him home, to rescue him from the horrors he''s faced on his own. I won''t take the chance I will find him only to fail him again. Which means I must unearth a way to kill his captor, a man who is immortal. A man who made a deal with the devil to attain his power. As it stands there is only one way to end that monster''s life. A way that is far from simple. With a pair of guns strapped to my hips, and an ally at my side, I will finally face down the evil that created me, crossing the world to do so. I can feel death stalking us, waiting for us to slip up. But I am no stranger to death, and I will face him too if I must to save my boy. To bring him home. If you thought I was deadly before, its nothing to what I will bring in this final round. Also available: Fury of a Phoenix (The Nix Series Book 1) Blood of a Phoenix (The Nix Series Book 2)
