River of Lies
Something is wrong in the city of La Bene. It’s January, and the midsummer market is in full swing, with a music competition on one side and an exhibit of new magical machines on the other. The atmosphere sours when rumors of the return of the malarial mosquito fairies inflame angry crowds and suspicion of foreigners. Detectives Rocío Díaz Rossi and Hala Haddad Sosa are on the spot when a conflict between an angry crowd and a boat full of despised river folk boils up. Rocio is known for her people skills and Hala has a talent for putting unlikely clues together. But nothing is what it seems in this case. Is their city at risk? Or are the stakes much more personal? This short novel takes place before the events of Shadow of the City, “A police procedural set in one of the snazziest fantasy settings ever.” — Rachel Neumeier, author of The Floating Islands
Nothing is as it Seems
Nothing is as it Seems by Nathan R. Morgan No government, no rules, no order. Chaos. That’s the exact predicament a young man finds himself in when he awakes in a strange, foreign place, with his memory completely stripped away. In his new situation, dangerous creatures roam, there is no sense of trust, and no direction. That is, until he runs into an advanced society amongst the chaos, quite by accident. Everything seems to be going perfectly under the boy’s newfound society. He receives a name, a place to stay, a job, everything. His new companions make it very clear that they have one goal, to escape this lawless country. Many have tried, and failed, for “they” obliterate anybody who steps foot in the outskirts. But, it almost seems… unreal, like something isn’t quite right. He just can’t seem to put a finger on what exactly that thing is. Is everything that the boy experiences actually the way he perceives it? Take yourself on an adventure through a wild, action-packed thriller in a world where nothing may be as it seems.

These men seized four new, powerful warships, turn...
