Book Description
Though Megalopolis has many superheroes, none of them is quite like Fantazia. That's no surprise, given her parentage. Forced to watch loved ones age and die, she would rather live in a pocket universe tending bar. It's safer to remain cold and aloof, to not get attached to anything or anyone. So helping the Elite Hands of Justice defeat the Dragon was a mistake. Hanging around her her father's band on do-gooders have given her a taste of camaraderie, but have birthed a new threat, something worse than the evil plot of the city's newest supervillan. The true peril is Cyrus...for he threatens Fantazia's heart.

Book Description
Another action-packed adventure from the new master of fantasy. The Raven travel to a new continent in search of mages to help the ruined college of Julatsa rebuild and find themselves in the midst of an ancient curse—a curse that has unleashed a plague that threatens to wipe out the elven race. Barclay excels with another tale that pitches The Raven against the clock and unseen foes. Full of desperate fights and secret betrayals, the story also fills in more of Balaia’s history and delves deeper into the ancient emnities between the colleges. Barclay has created a wonderfully appealing group of heroes, and with every book their history grows and the land they live in becomes wider and richer. This is landmark fantasy in the making.

Gargoyles are not what you think... Sten's ship crashed on Earth centuries ago, and since then, he's been hiding in plain sight, awaiting rescue.

When a mysterious man offers to buy the "statue" in Angie's garden, Sten knows he's been discovered. The Rose Syndicate has hunted his kind for centuries, capturing and torturing his fellow Khargals in the name of science. But simply fleeing isn't an option; Angie has a secret. One he's sworn to protect. Forced to reveal himself, Sten is confronted with a new truth. Impossible as it seems, Angie is his mate. And the urge to claim her may be his undoing. STICKS AND STONES is a standalone story in the collaborative Khargals of Duras series, with no cliffhangers and a guaranteed HEA. Enjoy the books in any order!
