New Releases by Gena Showalter

From New York Times bestselling author Gena Showalter comes a portal romantasy where a young woman''s road home leads back into a nightmare… and the arms of the man fated to destroy her. She escaped the monster realm. Fate dragged her back—twenty years earlier. Waking up in the past wasn’t on Moriah Shaker’s bingo card, but after surviving a brutal world of cannibals, rabdogs and lethal poppy fields, it happens anyway. Now, she has one chance to save her mother, undoing the death that started it all. First, she must return to Hakeldama, where survival is never guaranteed and destiny always demands sacrifice. At her side is Jasher, the ruthless, axe-wielding executioner who melts only for her. Until he’s trapped in a monstrous form, becoming a weapon for her destruction. To him, she’s an enemy. To her, he’s everything. Armed with only a cryptic journal that whispers of a lost gemstone, Moriah is forced to bargain with a tricky water maiden who is equal parts redemption and ruin. Worse, she’s transforming into something she no longer recognizes: The Oracle Great and Terrible. As secrets unravel and a forbidden attraction rekindles, Moriah must decide what she’s willing to sacrifice to unravel time: the past she’s desperate to save…or the man she isn’t supposed to love.

She has burned through lifetimes alone. In the hidden realm of Ashmorra, immortal berserkatrix Olyssa Drachenveil, Queen of Dragons, has spent centuries bound to a cruel fate: grant eternal life to a mortal firebrand in the heat of her flames or watch him perish. But any man she’s ignited has died screaming. She’s vowed never to test another. He must survive her fire. Taron Locke, brilliant historian and secret dragon slayer, has spent his life preparing to end the creature who murdered his father. A legend cloaked in beauty and ruin. When he summons her with ancient chains, he intends to end her reign, not fall under her spell. But the moment they meet, everything combusts. A battle. A bond. A kiss that could burn an empire to ash. In war, desire is the most dangerous blaze. As ancient enemies rise and Olyssa’s crown—and heart—hang in the balance, she must decide whether to defy destiny or surrender to it. And Taron must choose: destroy the queen he was born to hate… or become the firebrand destined to love her for eternity.

When captured by Viktor, Clover enacts her own plan. Tame the unhinged warrior, turn him into an ally, and use him to rescue her sister.

As their undeniable connection deepens, she discovers a heartbreaking truth. Falling for her is Viktor''s only path to ruin. Yet without his downfall, her twin''s fate is sealed. The worst part? Clover just might be falling for him, too. But in the end, only one can survive. Her man, or her sister.

From New York Times bestselling author Gena Showalter comes a dark romantasy of twisted justice, forbidden attraction and survival at any cost. When twenty-year-old college dropout Moriah Shaker ducks into an empty chapel to escape a sudden storm, she’s catapulted into another world, Wizard of Oz style. Unfortunately, she lands in Hakeldama, a brutal, fantastical realm where the powerful never pay for their crimes, and the innocent always do. Worse, Moriah is next on the chopping block. Desperate to get home, she sets her sights on the City of Lux, where a rumored portal between worlds may exist. Along the way, she gathers the most unlikely allies: a scrappy hustler, a disgraced ex-mayor, and a growing beast-dog with a taste for trouble. Most dangerous of all is Jasher, a ruthless executioner whose cold exterior hides a monstrous secret… and a past bound to hers in ways neither of them understands. As bounty hunters, winged monsters and lethal poppies arise, Moriah discovers the greatest threat isn’t the world trying to end her. It’s falling for the man whose heart is encased in steel.

Vacationing in Scotland, schoolteacher Elizabeth “Elle” Darcy anticipates picturesque landscapes, castles of old and kilt-wearing charmers, not awakening in someone else''s body. Worse, that someone just married enigmatic billionaire Callen Bruce. Though that’s not the biggest problem. To the rest of the world, her new “husband” runs an elite empire. But behind his public persona, he’s a king of berserkers locked in an ancient, supernatural war with wolf-shifters. Determined to reclaim her normal life, Elle will do anything necessary to switch back with Callen’s real wife. First, she must ditch the disciplined warrior. An impossibility when he refuses to relinquish the bride chosen for him by fate, even though he despises her. Or does he? The growing heat in his eyes says otherwise. Not that it matters. There’s no way this temporary queen will fall for the moody, broody secretive warrior who belongs to another woman. Nope. Not Elle. Not ever. Probably.
