Under A Caged Sky

"it is 3:30 am and i have been reading since 1pm the previous day... and holy. crap. this book sky rocketed to my #1 favorite book of all time. i already want to re read it because i read it SO FAST and my mind is mush." - Goodreads reader Chelsea "You have three hours to tell us where she is, or else we kill him." That's the choice the Coalition gives me: betray my best friend or have my partner killed. And this after they locked us under a caged sky and mutated us, giving us all wings with random-as-crap powers. Mine are sparkly pink ones whose favorite pastime is flirting and healing people and... worse. But I was learning to live with it--the wings, the fact that my best friend had become a fugitive, the fact that I was falling in love with a guy with wings of ice, a heart of gold, and secrets he wasn't telling... but the Coalition used him again and again to force me to stoop to their demands--and I did. I bowed, I bent--I would not break-- But I will only go so far for love. *** contains adult language *** This book is meant to be a standalone because there is no sequel that tells of events after this story ends.

Effervesce

The people of the Seven Demesnes live in unease. Every generation, seven sons are born to rule their seven walled cities. Without them, mankind is fated to fall. Now, something is killing them before they can be born. When Iminique Demascus senses a nameless evil striking at the unborn royal children, she has to make a choice. A noblewoman and a healer in a world where aristocrats and mages belong to different castes, she is forbidden by her father to ever heal. Breaking his dictate, she saves a single girl child. No one thanks her. Neither the child's parents nor the people want a girl, reviling her for surviving when the males perished. Left as the princess's sole protector and faced with adversity and hostility from nearly every quarter, Iminique allies herself with the wizard who once dragged her to the brink of death and then inexplicably let her go; a wizard who has his own secret agenda and casts spells that should be impossible. Meanwhile, in the south, a young sorceress falls prey to an ancient enemy, one weaving his own plans for bringing mankind to its knees.
