Balance
Inghild Økland
$0.99
A runaway princess. Time-twisting magic. What she doesn’t want? A knight to the rescue.
As Vildi, the less important princess of Rimdalir, my duty is to marry, and marry well. To the glacial chasms of hell with that!
I want adventure. A nice, suitor-free yet fairy-tale adventure. I can even endure rants about a tragic prince, if it brings me honey cake. Throw in a few mysteries, a sprinkle of old magic, and I’m happy.
That's what I thought.
Yet upon arriving in Lakari, Land of the Sun, I wander through familiar streets. I recognize the people, the taverns, even the black cat strolling as royalty through the market square. In this new land, no one was supposed to know my name, and yet I'm hunted.
Already they have killed me many, many times. And so I start over.
When a stranger finds me in the desert night, will he be my savior, or my undoing?
After a childhood watching Disney, speckled with a touch of The Prince of Persia and inspired by Re:Zero, Balance is a story about a headstrong heroine, the clutches of magic, and a prince’s secrets.
The Midnight Sea
Kat Ross
FREE
They are the light against the darkness.
The steel against the necromancy of the Druj.
And they use demons to hunt demons.
Nazafareen lives for revenge. A girl of the isolated Four-Legs Clan, all she knows about the King's elite Water Dogs is that they bind wicked creatures called daevas to protect the empire from the Undead. But when scouts arrive to recruit young people with the gift, she leaps at the chance to join their ranks. To hunt the monsters that killed her sister.
Scarred by grief, she's willing to pay any price, even if it requires linking with a daeva named Darius. Human in body, he's possessed of a terrifying power, one that Nazafareen controls. But the golden cuffs that join them have an unwanted side effect. Each experiences the other's emotions, and human and daeva start to grow dangerously close.
As they pursue a deadly foe across the arid waste of the Great Salt Plain to the glittering capital of Persepolae, unearthing the secrets of Darius's past along the way, Nazafareen is forced to question his slavery—and her own loyalty to the empire. But with an ancient evil stirring in the north, and a young conqueror sweeping in from the west, the fate of an entire civilization may be at stake.

The other will finish burying it under the nuclear ashes.This is Safe Haven“We offer food, shelter, and protection to all survivors. Does anyone copy? …hello? Is anyone alive out there?”The end of the world has given humanity a harsh, merciless existence, where nature tries hard to push us to the very brink of extinction.
