“I will find you. And if it takes a lifetime, I will find you.”

 

Ayna has just escaped death, only to crash head first into a new curse. This one is made by men.

Heart still bleeding, Ayna fights to keep strong. But how can she, when she is in the brutal hands of the very traitor who killed Myron? Especially when he is working with a man who has made it his mission to see her pay for her father’s crimes.

With her magic gone, Ayna is trapped and shipped off to her childhood world, where she uncovers plans at work that eclipse even Ephegos’s revenge—and an enemy who will stop at nothing to get what he wants.

If only Ayna knew that her king survived, she might cling to a brittle hope. But Myron is fighting his own battles in the search for his queen. Each one leads him a little closer to death’s door.

As they both plan their escape, they must make unlikely alliances and heart-wrecking choices—because this time, neither of them can rely on their magic to save them.

The curse on the Crows is broken, but all hope is lost. Will Ayna and Myron find each other and freedom, or will they end in a cage worse than death?

Full of intrigue, secrets, and heartbreak, Heart of Night is the second book in the sizzling epic romantic fantasy series, Wings of Ink and is perfect for fans of A Court of Thorns and Roses, From Blood and Ash, and Beauty and the Beast.

*Pre-blitz* Hunter in Me

 


Title: Hunter in Me

Author: Lana Melyan

Genre: Urban Fantasy, PNR

Cover Designer: Orina Kafe

Publication Date: June 20th, 2024

Hosted by: Lady Amber’s PR


Blurb:
I’m a witch and a hunter, and I’ve been working in Atlanta in a secret agency that keeps the supernaturals under control for ten years.

When I get the sad news from home that my powerful warlock father was murdered, I’m determined to find his killers.
Predicting his death, my father left me some hints.

Following them, I end up in a small town in Pennsylvania called Whispering Pines, in my mother's old house I'd never heard of.

Did I mention she was killed too? I was three.

In search of the killers, I cross paths with the town witch and discover a portal to a realm full of witches, vampires, and a pack of wolves with their handsome alpha.

This small town is full of supernatural problems, and from what I learned from the alpha and the townspeople, my mother was the one solving them back when she lived here.

Soon, I realized that my father's killers weren't after him; they were after me. He always said I was more than a witch. That I was different. So what am I?

The questions start piling up. And I'm sure now that the answers are hidden in my mother's past.
I wish she'd left me some clues.
And she did, but in a more alluring form than I’d expected.

Hunter In Me is the first book in the Queen of Gates urban fantasy series.

GUEST POST

Can you, for those who don't know you already, tell something about yourself and

how you became an author?

Like many authors, I’ve always written. In my teenage years it was angsty poetry and

a daily diary that I kept for about fifteen years (before I had children and hadn’t got

the energy for that anymore!) I’ve also written lots of short stories and started books;

I can’t seem to not write really. I’d never actually managed to finish a novel though,

that seemed to be the hard bit. A few years back I was getting close to turning forty

and I thought that it was about time I actually finished one of my ideas. I didn’t quite

complete it by my birthday, but I finished the first draft of The Body at Back Beach

about a month or so later. Since then, I’ve actually managed to finish three other

books. This is the first one that’s ready for the world to share though!

Where were you born/grew up at?

I was born and grew up in Derbyshire England. I lived in the UK until I was thirty and

had my first two babies there. My husband is from New Zealand and we decided to

move there with our young family. Fifteen years and two more babies later and we’ve

recently moved home to the UK. I loved living in New Zealand and it’s where The

Body at Back Beach is set. I’ve tried to capture some of the New Zealand that I loved

while I lived there in the pages of the book.

I moved back to Britain to be close to my family. I think that there will always be a

part of me that has a connection to New Zealand though. I lived there for fifteen

years and the decision to come back home wasn’t an easy one. We have family

back in New Zealand so no doubt we’ll be back to visit in the future.

What inspired you to write this book?

The Body at Back Beach was very much inspired by the landscape around the area

of New Zealand that I lived. I used to walk around Back Beach in Port Chalmers two

or three times a week, much like Helena, the main character does. One day I was

walking around there after there had been some really bad storms. The rain had

caused some land slips and I started to imagine what I would do if it had uncovered

something unexpected, like a body that had been buried years before. The story

grew from there.

I’ve always really enjoyed murder mysteries, both in books and on television. This

was the first one that I tried to write myself though, the other books that I’ve tried to

write before have been different genres. I think that a mystery book fits my style

better than other things that I’ve tried.

What can we expect from you in the future?

Helena already has a second adventure lined up. I’ve written the first draft but have

some editing to do. I hope to write a whole series following Helena where she’ll find

herself solving more mysteries. I’ve also got a couple of other books in the works,

one set in medieval times, a half-written mystery in a large Victorian mansion and

something completely different set in 1980’s Britain, They’re all quite a way off being

ready for the rest of the world to share as yet, but hopefully I’ll have something for

you all soon.

I just need to find some time to really get my teeth into things and get things edited

and polished first. Hopefully after the launch of The Body at Back Beach I’ll have a

bit more time to get on with that.

Do you read yourself and if so what is your favorite genre?


I read lots and lots, I always have done. My perfect idea of some ‘me’ time is peace

and quiet, a nice cup of tea and a good book; bliss! I like to read lots of different

types of books, I particularly like murder mysteries or romance though. My all-time

favourite books tend to be historical murder mysteries and if there’s a little bit of

chemistry between the lead characters then all the better. I do really enjoy ‘classic’

murder mysteries too, either older ones by Agatha Christie or Dorothy L. Sayers or

modern whodunits that follow the same kind of format. I think that The Body at Back

Beach would fit in well with that kind of book and be in good company.

Like many avid readers, I have a shelf and kindle full of more titles than I have time

to read. That doesn’t stop me from buying more and I’m always on the lookout for

recommendations for new books to check out.

Pen or typewriter or computer?

I love writing by hand with a nice pen and brand-new notebook. When it comes to

writing a book though, it has to be my laptop. I make far too many mistakes to

manage with a typewriter and I find that I can write quicker on keyboard than on

paper. I’m dyslexic, so using a keyboard (and spell check) makes the whole process

much easier for me. I’ve also managed to reach the point where I can type much

faster than I can write by hand, at least with it all being legible at the end! I also like

to be able to back everything up on the computer. It makes it easier to edit and make

changes when I come back to work on a draft too.

Can you tell us a little bit about the characters in The Body at Back Beach?

My main character is Helena, she’s in her early 50’s and works as a counselor at

Otago University in Dunedin New Zealand. She has two grown up sons who have

left home in the last few years and she lives with her husband in the family home

overlooking Otago Harbour. Until recently, she’s been working full-time, but decided

to take a bit of a step back and spend some more time in the local community. She

loves where she lives and although she travelled quite a lot in her younger years,

she wouldn’t live anywhere else.

The other characters in this book are residents of Port Chalmers and the surrounding

area. Helena knows some of them before the book starts, but others are people that

she comes across as she starts to investigate the murder. We don’t meet Helena’s

sons in this book, but they will appear in future titles.

*Book Tour & Giveaway* Come Home to Death

 


It appears you can go home again, but sometimes, you shouldn’t. 

Come Home to Death

by Marilyn Levinson

Genre: Suspense, Thriller

"A master of the mystery and suspense genre.”
—Midwest Book Review

Erica Parker has barely been a bride nine months when two thugs show up at her apartment while her husband is away on one of his infamous business trips, claiming he owes their boss a large gambling debt. Frightened for her life, and without any other options, she heads for her childhood Long Island home she escaped three years ago. And swore never to return.

The aunts who raised her are as interfering and controlling as ever, but soon as the family attorney advances the rest of her trust from her parents’ life insurance, she can return to normalcy. Except he refuses, instead spouting nonsense about how, if she waits, she will soon inherit millions. On her twenty-fifth birthday.
Problem is, someone doesn’t want her to live that long.

Her aunts are harboring secrets, people are turning up dead, her husband is nowhere to be found, and someone’s trying to kill her. It appears you can go home again, but sometimes, you shouldn’t.

26 techno-magical elements are presented from A to Z by the magical metal horn unicorn tribe from Unimaise.

1. Where the featured element comes from.
