New Releases by Shannon Mayer

Successful Seattle baker Alena Budrene doesn''t want to die. But when she''s infected with a lethal virus spread by supernatural beings, her only chance for recovery is to make a deal with the devil--or in this case, a warlock. Though he saves her life, it looks nothing like the life she once knew--and neither does she. Alena is a new breed of "Supe" no one has ever seen before. Even the supernatural police don''t know what she is. Now exiled to the northern side of the Wall, which marks the divide between humans and Supes, Alena is thrust into a dark and magical new world. But just as she begins to adjust to all things supernatural, she realizes that her transformation is the least of her worries--and it was no accident. She was chosen...to be killed by a Greek hero trying to make a name for himself once more. Alena was brought up to be subservient, preferring creating to fighting, and vanilla and honey to blood. But that was then. Now, to survive, she must stand up for herself--and this time she''s got fangs. But will she be ready to use them?

With over 1 million books sold, Shannon Mayer proves once again she can dominate her genre right out of the gate. My name is Ash, and I am an Elemental. As an Ender, it is my place to protect the royal family at all costs. Despite being the best Ender our world has ever beheld, I have failed time and again as the personal sacrifices continue to mount. Lark has been banished to the desert by her father who is blind to the manipulation he has again fallen prey to. To bring about justice, I must seek out and destroy the one who intentionally wields her powers to bring pain to my people. Cassava''s death will finally free us from the dark cloud her reign of terror has surrounded us in. This is what I believe to be true and I will seek her out with only one intended outcome. The reality, however, is much more complicated than my beliefs. When lies turn to truths, and enemies to allies, can I still find my way back to who I once was? Uncertainty makes me hesitant, but I can not give up. For justice. For Lark. No matter the sacrifice.
