Unleashed: A Novel

by Cai Emmons

Set amid California&’s wildfire season, a vivid and magical novel following a family in crisis thrust on a collision course with the world around them that has an outcome beyond their wildest imaginings . . . When Lu and George Barnes drop their only daughter, Pippa, off at college, they return to their Sonoma home to find that their paths have diverged. Confronted with an empty nest, Lu&’s increasing dissatisfaction with their materialistic lives becomes impossible to ignore. She is most content outdoors, finding the animals in her backyard far superior company to her pretentious neighbors. In contrast, George is eager to throw himself into his business, a local winery with an elite clientele, as well as his art collection. He cannot for the life of him understand his wife&’s discontent. Meanwhile, Pippa feels completely adrift at school in the bustle of LA—its unfamiliar noises, its unfriendly atmosphere. She finds comfort only in the beloved family cat she&’s brought with her and in her zoology class, which makes the world seem just a bit brighter. As Lu, George, and Pippa struggle to adapt, growing apart in the process, tensions outside the family are mounting as well; women have been disappearing across the country with no worldly explanation, all while California&’s wildfire season is swiftly approaching, bringing with it a reckoning that none of the Barneses can avoid. At once a grounded story about love and family, and a transcendent tale about the power of nature, Unleashed is a stunning look at what matters in an all too chaotic world, the things that sustain us when we are on the verge of losing it all, and how we might find ourselves in the most unexpected of ways.

The Unlikely Hero (Verses of Vrelenden)

by Beau Schemery

Verses of Vrelenden: Book OneDespite the suspicions Mother Dragon shared with Celestrian before her death, he may be the last surviving unicorn of Vrelenden--though most may simply think him some crazy person with a horn attached to his forehead. Nevertheless, Trian has nothing to hold on to but hope, and he's about to hang that hope on an unlikely hero named Renwald Mallorian. Ren may have been born an accountant's son, but he's longed to be a professional hero for as long as he can remember, and he's read every book on the subject he could get his hands on. When Trian arrives and hires him to find the last remaining unicorns, Ren jumps at the offer and their quest begins. But the evil Father Denkham is intent on obtaining the last unicorn and sets a deadly assassin on their trail. If that isn't bad enough, they'll face a Vampire, Dragon, bandits, and zombies. Their only hope now is for Ren to prove he's the hero he always dreamed of becoming--but no book in the world could have prepared him for what's in store.
