The (Gateway Essentials #29)
by John BrunnerThe time was the unguessably remote past - or perhaps the distant future. Throughout the universe, Chaos ruled. Scientific laws of cause and effect held no force; men could not know from one day to the next what to expect from their labours, and even hope seemed foolish.In this universe there was one man to whom had been entrusted the task of bringing reason and order out of Chaos. He was a quiet man dressed in black who carried a staff made of light, and wherever he went the powers of Chaos swirled around him, buffeted him, tested him. He fought them, and little by little he drove them back.But the Traveller in Black himself belonged to the anti-science universe. If he succeeded in his task of changing the order of the cosmos, could he continue to live?(First published 1971)
The The Chinese Love Pavilion: A Novel
by Paul ScottPaul Scott is most famous for his much-beloved tetralogy The Raj Quartet, an epic that chronicles the end of the British rule in India with a cast of vividly and memorably drawn characters. Inspired by Scott’s own time spent in India and Malaya during World War II, this two powerful novel provides valuable insight into how foreign lands changed the British who worked and fought in them, hated and loved them. The Chinese Love Pavilion follows a young British clerk, Tom Brent, who must track down a former friend—now suspected of murder—in Malaya. Tom faces great danger, both from the mysterious Malayan jungles and the political tensions between British officers, but the novel is perhaps most memorable for the strange, beautiful romance between Tom and a protean Eurasian beauty whom he meets in the eponymous Chinese Love Pavilion.

by Victoria Alexander#1 New York Times Bestselling author Victoria Alexander takes us back to Nimway Hall, where magic is as old as time and love is where you least expect it. . .She's given up on love and magic.He’s going to change her mind.Alexandra Hayden, the current Guardian of Nimway Hall, is having a very bad day. Well, a very bad year. Or two.Her third fiancé swindled her out of Nimway’s reserve funds, she’s spent her dowry to help her tenants, and everything on the estate is in need of repair. Even Nimway Hall itself is starting to look a bit shabby. Worse, legendary Nimway magic seems to have vanished. All her fault of course: She simply isn’t the guardian she should be.Robert Curtis is one of America's wealthiest young captains of industry. Now he finds he’s inherited a title and an estate. But Brynmore Manor is long-abandoned and barely standing. It's not at all what Robert hoped to use for business and family holidays and not remotely what he wanted. What’s a rich American viscount to do? Buy the estate next door, of course—Nimway.The last thing Alex needs is an arrogant American neighbor. What she needs is money—and fast. To further his acceptance in London society and his business interests, Robert could use a well-connected wife.

With their annoying attraction and strangely vivid dreams of each other, this marriage is anything but convenient.

THe Light Series Box Set (The Light Series #4)
by Jennifer DelucyThe three book box set of The Light Series by Jennifer DeLucy includes Seers of Light, Whisper of Light Circle of Light, and the short Glimpse of Light. Seers of Light: Lillian Hunt has never truly lived. Always sensing there was more to the world than is easily perceived, she feared that her instincts were stubborn flights of fancy, or worse, mental instability. But some things - disappearing strangers, tangible dreams and visits from malevolent creatures - cannot be ignored. Is Lillian alone in her surreal little world or are there others like her? Will she reject a fated love or embrace the truth of what she is, unraveling the mystery of her life... Whisper of Light: The saying goes that all men are created equal... but Nicole Abbot knows better. Lacking the supernatural gifts of the Sentients she has known all her life, Nicole has lived with her nose pressed to the glass, withering beneath the guilt of her own inadequacies and the disapproving glare of her father. It's easy to believe that the universe has forgotten all about her, but things are not always as they seem. With the arrival of Christian Wright, a handsome but complex Combatant with a troubled history, Nicole is forced to question everything she has ever believed about herself, proving that sometimes, our most flawed perceptions are those reflected in a mirror. Circle of Light: Empath and Pathcrosser to the dead, Lillian Hunt has finally come into her own as a Sentient being. All seems well in her brave new world...that is, until a tragic turn sends her tight-knit Sentient group on a rescue mission through lore-infested Europe. Their goal is to save the love of Lily's life-vampire Sentient, William Maddox - from both the prejudice of their own society and the dark intentions of ancient vampires. But how will they keep hope alive, even as time runs out? Circle of Light is a brilliant finale to The Light Series. DeLucy once again delivers gripping paranormal encounters, irresistible character interactions, and beautiful testaments to the power of pure, unselfish love - but it all burns at a higher intensity in this concluding adventure. Readers will come away from Circle of Light with a satisfying sense of closur...although certain Sentients may be less than happy with their ever after.

THE TWO OF SWORDS: Part One
by K. J. Parker"Why are we fighting this war? Because evil must be resisted, and sooner or later there comes a time when men of principle have to make a stand. Because war is good for business and it's better to die on our feet than live on our knees. Because they started it. But at this stage in the proceedings," he added, with a slightly lop-sided grin, "mostly from force of habit." A soldier with a gift for archery. A woman who kills without care. Two brothers, both unbeatable generals, now fighting for opposing armies. No one in the vast and once glorious United Empire remains untouched by the rift between East and West, and the war has been fought for as long as anyone can remember. Some still survive who know how it was started, but no one knows how it will end. This serial novel from the World Fantasy Award winning K. J. Parker is the story of a war on a grand scale, told through the eyes of its soldiers, politicians, victims and heroes. The first three parts of The Two of Swords will arrive in April 2015, with further installments to be released monthly.This is the first installment in the Two of Swords serialization.
