New Releases by Jesikah Sundin

Two rival thievesOne fated heist gone wrongAnd a curse that threatens to steal more than their freedom It was a simple job. All I had to do was steal a ring from a mainland witch for the Thieves' Guild that owned me. Easy enough, right? The reward would bring me closer to earning my freedom. And stars above, I wanted off this floating luxury island. But then he showed up, a cocky thief from a rival guild, and ruined all my plans. Every. Single. One. I lost the ring and my chance at freedom. But on the bright side, I gained a new impossible quest and an obnoxious sidekick. If we fail to retrieve three magical artifacts for the witch, I'll be forever cursed to no more than fifteen feet of separation from that unnaturally beautiful, arrogant, thieving elf. As an additional treat, we'll be hunted down by our own guilds when this curse prevents us from returning. I honestly didn't believe things could get worse. Until he offered a solution to our not-so-little problem-a bargain to save our lives.I would laugh, except I didn't realize there was anything left in my life to steal.

An ugly, tormented man from an enemy realm she was bound to in faerie blood from her first breath. And there is no escape. If she breaks their bonds, she will die.

A wickedly beautiful man with a sharp mind and even sharper heart who captures hers completely. Magic seals away his identity. Yet Rhoslyn suspects that appearances are not all what they seem.

She's sealed inside his family's experimental world. He believes she died. A dangerous secret forever binds their fates together. Willow Oak Watson has never met a stranger. Never known the open wide sky. Or seen modern technology. Until, that is, her father's shocking death unearths chilling secrets about the experimental world she was born into. A nature-steeped world where death is ceremonious, built on rules and traditions-ones she resents. And ones her brother, Leaf, constantly holds against her. But rules change when she and Leaf discover hidden computers and connect to the Outside for the first time-and to Fillion Nichols. An angry young man from a dying, technology-choked society. Everything about him is forbidden. But he is the key to decoding the mystery behind her father's possible murder. She doesn't know Fillion will inherit her home on his twentieth birthday-a legacy he doesn't want. Or that she has tormented his nightmares for nearly six years. Or that the Outside believes she and Leaf are dead. All Willow knows is a strange, unexplainable bond to Fillion. An attraction that may save or destroy her home. Worlds collide in an unforgettable quest for truth, unfolding a story rich in mystery, betrayal, and love.

"Spin the tales, Son of Eden. Weave them together. Make a reality all your own..." Three years ago, Fillion Nichols was extracted from New Eden Township, poisoned, and arrested for sabotage. In three days, he’ll return and ascend as majority owner of the human experiment. New Eden proclaims that he’s a man of magic­­--one who will save them from the evils of the Outside world. But, as the newly appointed Gamemaster, Fillion knows that the truth is far more terrifying than the nightmares plaguing his sleep. In order to live, something must die. While the biodome community buzzes with activity over the Son of Eden’s return, Leaf Watson guards a dangerous secret. A secret that forces him to trade diplomacies of peace for declarations of war. Leaf’s energy is redirected, however, when he fights to save the life of his unborn child. Chin lifted high, Willow Oak marches into the Outside to represent New Eden in her brother’s stead. She longs to unleash her hurricane winds of justice upon the world that threatens her own. Yet when she sees the man who broke her heart, their combative grief endangers all. In different worlds coded by the same illusions of power, Fillion, Leaf, and Willow must battle ever shifting images and perceptions––a necessity if they are to reboot their generation and save the community they swore to protect. The future meets the past in this thrilling conclusion to The Biodome Chronicles, leaving behind a final question in the quest for truth. Are you ready to discover what is real?

"Feelings are real. They often become one's reality. But they are not always based on truth..." New Eden Township is more than a dungeon for Fillion Nichols. Sealed inside the experimental Mars colony, there is no escape from anyone, especially the young woman who has haunted his life for nearly six years. To preserve his sanity, he focuses on one goal: decoding the mystery behind the Watson deaths. Meanwhile, to prove his worth to the Daughter of Earth, a young nobleman ventures beyond the walls of the biodome and experiences the Outside world for the first time. But his quest takes an unpredictable turn when he meets Lynden Nichols and Mack Ferguson, who draw him into their world--an underground community also confined and isolated by society. As worlds converge, each young man faces a choice that will affect the survival of an entire community. And to save the generation they fight for, both men must defy the boundaries of everything they know. Cultures collide as The Biodome Chronicles continues in a compelling quest for truth, forging an unforgettable story rich in mystery, betrayal, and love. Are you ready to discover what is real?

"Secrets are foolish creatures, I have learned. No longer do I wish to play with fools..." Five weeks after the Great Fire, the village square in New Eden Township bustles with rebuilding activities. Hope begins to flicker as a new future rises from the ashes of deception. Yet for three newly appointed Elements--Ember Watson, Skylar Kane, and Rain Daniels--the many transitions to Project Phase Two expose dark secrets that demand sacrifices. Sacrifices, they discover, that may still destroy the very community they vowed to protect and serve. Beyond the dome walls, Mackenzie Ferguson and Lynden Nichols refuse to feel powerless as Fillion Nichols stands trial. But, under constant surveillance, control and privacy seem as elusive as hope. Then Mack schemes an outrageous idea to help his friend reclaim ground by using the law to create an opportunity. The very same law, Lynden learns, that places her and Coal Hansen at risk of being forever separated. Embark on a journey with Ember, Skylar, Rain, Mack, and Lynden as they untangle truth from lies and rebuild hope after betrayal.

DREAMS ARE DANGEROUS Unless she unlocks the powers of her mind. He fights his Otherworld shadow self. And with only fae magic to re-spin their tales. Princess Æroreh Rosen was faerie blessed before her birth. To promote the New Dawn Era, the Queen coded her daughter with every feminine perfection. Beauty. Gentleness. Obedience. Musicality. Kindness. Grace. Good cheer. Hunger and lung sickness plague the Kingdom of Ealdspell. But Æroreh is plugged into The Dream, a program created by a sect of faeries to control the realms through illusions of beauty and contentment. All Æroreh has ever known is blissful servitude to a cursed system, and she believes her realm is prospering. Until a different faerie sect decides to wake her sleeping mind and set her true magic free. Meanwhile, Félip Batten MacKinley holds a dangerous secret. One made more threatening by the frostbite scar across his cheek. He’s spit on, beaten, and demonized by a community that values a pretty face over all else. With no easy future in sight, he accepts that he’ll die a burden to his foster parents, his true history erased. But a tempting offer from the faerie’s Fate Maker leads Félip to cross paths with the hauntingly beautiful Æroreh—a young woman who represents all he loathes. Yet only she has the power to awaken a new Dream. Æroreh is a gritty spin on the romantic tale of Sleeping Beauty and blends faerie magic and pagan ritual with high technology.
