Happy Friday, everyone! Well, it's that time again! YAY! If you remember the last post I did on the Othala Witch collection, there were tons of pre-orders and releases for you to check out. If you missed it, it's not too late. You can find it
here. Well, there have been a couple more releases since my last post! I know, exciting, right? Without further ado, I give you three more volumes of the collection (one is a pre-order).
About the Othala Witch Collection:
Many
years ago, the Original Sixteen witches were able to contain an
outbreak of demon-like creatures from overtaking the earth. But doing so
came at a cost. For the human race to survive, the world had to be
divided into sixteen sectors, trapping the Ravagers to the Outlands
beyond, and trapping the humans in.
The Original Sixteen served as Regents
over each of these sectors, and when they died, the strongest of witches
took their place, using their own personal enchantment abilities to
protect their sector. In the process, communication was lost. The only
solace that remains is the knowledge that if another sector fails, their
own may still survive.
But what happens when your sector is the
one to fail? What happens when the world inside your walls is just as
bad as the one outside them? In this collection of sixteen adult dystopian
paranormal romance tales, each and every one of the sixteen sectors is
about to find out.
Mystic Storm - Othala Witch Collection - Sector 2:
Author: Bella Love-Wins
Genre: Adult Dystopian Paranormal Romance
Length (print): 346 pages
Blurb:
He was supposed to sleep with the Chosen, not fall for her.
What happens when a smoldering hot shifter soldier meets feisty little virgin witch.
Kiera the Chosen
Nine winters ago, a fierce winter storm weakened the walls of Sector
two, allowing demon-like creatures called ravagers to re-enter the
city. Unimaginable death and devastation followed. Regent Minassus, the
sector's leader and most powerful witch at the time, took the only
measure he believed would save the citizens. He built a new army.
Casting a spell so strong it almost killed him, he transformed all
adults males with the 236-k gene into polar bear shifters. In their
animal forms, they were the only creatures able to beat back the
unwelcome invaders and protect the Sector.
Every year before the first winter storm, the Regent selected one
virgin witch, called the Chosen, to perform the transformation spell.
To Kiera the Chosen, it was an honor to serve.
Until she met Xander Oslo, the one person willing to do anything to
stop the Regent from turning another shifter. With one statement, he
showed her that she had been deceived for nine years. Performing the
spell nine days from now would come at an unexpected cost.
Her life.
Xander Oslo: Alpha. Protector. Revolutionary.
After the ravagers breached the Sector walls nine winters ago,
everything changed. The Regent made it law for these men to serve. He
used his personal guards to test every male in the Sector over the age
of fifteen. Those with the gene were rounded up and drafted into the
Boundary Protection Unit to begin their training. Every year, the ones
who reached the age of eighteen were turned in order to bolster the
ranks.
There was only one reward for possessing the 236-k gene in a society where witches were revered.
Oppression.
With no end in sight, Xander Oslo, Commander of Sector Two's
Boundary Protection Unit, is ready for change at any cost. The one key
to freedom for his men? Convince the Chosen to stand with him against
the Regent. Except he did not expect to fall for her. Can he pull off
the ultimate betrayal?
Mystic Storm is a full-length, steamy, standalone, paranormal
witch-meets-shifter romance, with no cliffhanger and a happy ever after
ending.
Hybrid - Othala Witch Collection - Sector 3:
Author: Apryl Baker
Genre: Adult Dystopian Paranormal Romance
Length (print): 284 pages
Blurb:
Abomination. The word follows Katyia Dragonovich, bastard daughter of the Regent of Sector Three.
After being turned over to the vampire clan by the only mother she
has ever known, Katya swears vengeance. Although terrified, she boldly
faces her new future, even if it’s an uncertain one with a man who is as
cold as the mountain’s ice caps.
When the Vampire clan discovers one of their new turns has been
infected with ravager blood, they rally for her extermination. They
cannot allow anything carrying the mark of the monstrous creatures that
have overrun their world to live among them.
But Roman Stratcovich, rightful king of the Vampire clans, has other
plans. This hybrid woman—part witch, part vampire, part ravager—may be
the secret to gaining what he’s lost. More than that, however, she’s
also the key to unlocking his cold heart.
The question is, does he want her to?
Dark Elements - Othala Witch Collection - Sector 8:
Author: L. J. Swallow
Genre: Adult Dystopian Paranormal Romance
Length (print): ? pages
Blurb:
If I marry this man, I will die within a year.
If I leave, death will follow me.
There is nothing I can do.
I am a Scion and my life belongs to the Othala.
In Sector Eight,
each Othala witch in the ruling Senate must marry a human girl from one
of the old aristocratic families. This year, one of these Scions must
marry the Regent and produce an heir.
Cora is a Scion who
wants nothing to do with the world she's forced to be part of. On the
night she tries to take control of her future, she puts herself in
danger and a stranger steps in and takes control. The evening Cora
thought would lead to her freedom instead makes her a pawn in a battle
she wants no part in.
Alaric is the new Regent and wants
absolute power over the Sector. His brother, Mattias, is the only witch
powerful enough to stand against Alaric's increasingly savage rule and the Senate want him to step in. Alaric fears he'll be deposed but Mattias's plans lie elsewhere.
Mattias
was born and raised in the ruling Hyland family. Now he's stepped
outside of his role and has another life nobody knows about. Keeping up
the pretence works with everybody except Cora; she has seen a different
side to Mattias and is determined to discover the truth.
Cora is
pulled into the brothers' lives and her fear of the sadistic Alaric
matches her desire for Mattias. Mattias's secretive behaviour and
attraction to Cora places them both directly in a paranoid Alaric's
crosshairs. But the last thing Mattias wants is somebody interfering
with his plans. Especially a human girl -- one he's falling for and will
do anything to protect.
Politics and magic vie for control as Sector Eight crumbles in this dystopian paranormal witch romance from USA Today bestselling author LJ Swallow.
