White Fire
NOW AVAILABLE!
A BRAND NEW EPIC FANTASY FROM KEITH SOARES
Of all the mages in the Known World, Huldrych is by far the least respected, because he alone cannot produce black fire. For fourteen long years, the powerful mages did everything they could to turn their apprentice’s white fire to black, until finally they decided to avoid further embarrassment and send him far away. Two years later, still trying to make an uneasy peace with his life in exile, Huldrych receives an unexpected, unexplained request: “Come back at once.” Indignant, he wants to ignore the message but he can’t escape the constant burning tension inside him. Why is he different? Where does he belong? He goes.
Far beyond the Known World, Occida seethes with hatred for the ruling mages. Once an apprentice, she too was discarded, though for entirely different reasons. While she possesses great talent with black fire, she wants more and she wants it now. Occida can’t accept the mages’ slow pace of teaching or their pampered life. Instead, she becomes obsessed with the knowledge hidden in ancient texts. Texts where untold dangers can be found, texts that give her unnatural power. She attacks.
But old books can hold more than just forgotten spells. They might even reveal the secret of white fire.
The Oasis of Filth
They kept us locked in walled cities, away from the unlucky people who got infected.
I suppose that made us the lucky ones, but for me it was a pretty tough pill to swallow. Before everything went down – before a combination of rabies and leprosy turned people into something an awful lot like zombies – I was a Maryland doctor, nearing retirement, wealthy and respected, even if I was a pompous ass. In the walled city, all of that disappeared and I had nothing. Not until Rosa showed up one day. She had dreams, making me realize that I had lost mine. If not for her, I would never have escaped. Never seen the world outside the walls. Never known hope again. But with hope came fear, and in our world, that came with death. Funny how the disease took away life, community, even civilization itself, but gave me one thing I never knew I wanted: family. Still, our life was a cruel life, and it taught me one thing clearly.
We might not all get killed by this world, this disease, but there’s no way we’re all getting out alive.

Elemental: The Complete John Black Series
My name is John Black and I have no idea how to be a hero.
Was it dumb luck or cruel fate that gave me power? I’d love to say it was just chance, but that seems too convenient. All I ever wanted to do was eat pizza and play video games, but the world had other plans. I ended up not just a superhuman but part of a superhuman war, with the destiny of the planet on the line.
They say that a butterfly can flap its wings on the other side of the world and change your fate. Well, there must have been a crapload of butterflies flapping their wings in my case. I would have been happy just hanging out with my friends, but instead, I somehow gained an archnemesis, battled giant monsters, flew through the air, and dove into the deepest caves of the earth.
Through it all, one question kept coming up: Is it worth it? Well, I’ll tell you this. When superpowers and supervillains threaten the lives of your father, your mother, your sister, and your friends, yeah. Yeah, it’s worth it. Even though I’d rather be doing a million other things, you can bet I’ll do what’s needed when the time comes.
You can bet I’ll fight.

The Torden Cycle: Lightning Hopkins books 1-3
Electricity fills my body.
And that’s a good thing. Because I’m an electromagician – EM for short.
My skin tingles as the energy courses through me, down to my fingertips. Someone’s coming, though I don’t know who. Doesn’t matter. I know they want my power, and no one’s taking that without a fight.
As the electric charge inside me builds, my hair starts to lift. I hate when it does that, so I pull up my hoodie with one hand, seeing tiny arcs jump from one finger to the next. There’s a thumping sound in the hallway. Time’s up. I tense, ready to fight, concentrating on the door as the handle is jiggled by someone outside.
I’m so focused I don’t even hear the ones coming up behind. “There she is,” a deep voice says. “There’s Lightning Hopkins.” Before I can even turn around, the voice growls a command.
“Kill her.”
