Kody Boye

There are no wolves in Texas. At least, that's what I've been told my entire life. The truth is: no one's seen one since they went extinct in the wild twenty years ago. No one except me. This occurrence would be strange on any day. But minutes after I think I see a red wolf in the wild, a new family moves in across from me, and I meet none other than Jackson Meadows. He claims to be from out of town, but something tells me he and his single father hold a secret that goes back generations—and may change the town forever.

When the Red Wolf Runs

My mother once said that only the Beautiful Ones survive. This is because, in the war-torn Great South, beauty is a currency, and to have it means you will never have to worry about a thing. ​ The only problem is: beauty is judged by our capital’s Gentlewomen, and there is no guarantee that we will past their test. ​ Every year, the Gentlewomen of the capital leave the Glittering City to oversee the annual Procession. They travel settlement to settlement selecting girls, aged sixteen and older, to become Beautiful Ones. If chosen, we will be lifted into a life of luxury, but the cost is our free will.

The Beautiful Ones

I was never afraid of monsters—at least, not until They came: the visitors from outer space. ​ Six years later, at the age of seventeen, I'm just about to graduate from school and declare my career of choice. The Midnight Guard—who protect our community from the vicious things that lie outside our walls—calls to me, and a shortage of applicants instantly lands me a spot in their ranks. ​ But when I am bitten by an alien on a supply run, I begin to dream of things not of this world—and will soon find that my life is about to change forever.

When They Came

In this prequel to Kody Boye's WHEN THEY CAME trilogy, follow eleven-year-old Jason Parks as he fights for his life during the first hours of the alien invasion of Earth.

That First Hour: A When They Came Story

My mother was burned at the stake. ​ Of course, this is not uncommon, now that the Republic controls everything. From what we watch. To what we learn. To who we are, even what we become. They are always on the hunt for witches. I have lived in terror of developing my magic, of becoming my mother’s daughter, my entire life. Now, on the cusp of my eighteenth birthday, my greatest fear is coming to pass. My only chance at survival is to flee to the wilds of East Texas and join a place called the Academy -- a place where witches like me are trained to not only control, but use our powers to fight back against our tyrannical government. ​ I have always feared the fire. The only question is: can I outrun it?

The Witching Hour

She longs for revenge, and she’ll do anything to get it. Desperate to slay the monster that killed her mother, Scarlet is faced with a life-changing choice: to let the strange man who arrives in her hospital room erase her memories, or accept his offer to join an elite agency that not only helps maintain order over the Supernatural world, but trains super-soldiers—called Hunters—to help combat them. For Scarlet, there is no hesitation. She will give anything to avenge her mother—even if it means risking her life to do so.

Blood Night

He was just supposed to be a hot hookup. Something sexy to take my mind off being poor, living in a run-down apartment, and kicked out of college due to some plagiarism I totally did not commit. Life was going downhill fast, and a hot, anonymous hookup with a guy by the handle IceFire would make my life suck a little less—or more, but in the right way. Man, was I wrong. Hot and charming, Guy Winters and his touches leave me breathless. One night turns into two. Then a date. Then more. Except his body is always cold. Our makeouts are almost too intense. And there's something just not right. It takes a break-in and a murder in self-defense before I finally get it. And the truth about Guy has me running for my life. This book was originally published as His Touch of Ice and as Ice Born. It has been revised and updated to be more suitable for a general audience.

The King’s Watch: The Adventures of Carmen Delarosa - #2

In this conclusion to Kody Boye’s Daylight Cycle, winter is falling, and bringing with it even more dangers. With the undead hordes still present, and the need for supplies growing each passing day, Dakota Travis and Rose Daniels decide to enlist within the Runner’s Corps: the infamous supply running gang that scours the city for anything of use. Fortunately for them, they are skilled survivors, and have the chance of living outside the fort’s protective walls. Unfortunately, their predicament is only growing worse. As their first supply run ends, and a chance encounter with an infamous plant walker brings Rose and Dakota into the limelight, the powers that be decide to orchestrate a task for the survivors—one that may save humanity, or potentially destroy them all.

Nightfall

Before the attacks, Rose’s life was simple. Before there was mass violence in America, she was a university student in Liverpool. Before her roommate was savagely attacked, she wanted to make the world a better place. That was before the zombie outbreak. Now, Rose and her best friend Lyra are forced to flee their flat and find refuge onboard a yacht with a group of armed survivors. Although safety seems likely on the open sea, it’s only a matter of time before a new outbreak occurs.

First Light

Escaping the prison, and fleeing his country, were the least of Odin Karussa’s worries. Now tasked with leading a lost people to salvation, Odin is once again placed in a position of power—power that could either make, or break, his spirit. Aided by his friends, Odin believes that they can begin a new life free of tyranny—until a High Priest of Norda arrives to deliver a vision from the Gods. Told, in no uncertain detail, that he will return to liberate the mainland, Odin dismisses the priest as little more than delusional. However he may feel, Odin is given one certainty: that his refusal to return to the mainland will come at a cost. It is only when the priest’s vision comes to pass that Odin is forced to make a decision. He will return to the mainland to liberate the lands he once called home. His only question is whether or not he will succeed. This is the final book in The Banished Legend.
