This Week’s New Releases
Title: Lady Gray
Series: House of Gray Book 9
Release Date: 10/19/2026
Being grounded is easier when nobody’s trying to kill you.
Amy Lee has never been less busy in her life. Confined to Gray Haven by order of the High Council, Lady Gray spends her winter sparring in the snow and dodging an investigator’s questions while a thirst claws at her throat that synthetic blood no longer quiets.
Her body keeps changing. She barely sleeps. Just when she thinks she knows what she’s become, it shifts again.
Then a dead man’s note names her most trusted commander as a spy for the House of Serpents. An unsigned letter with nothing but coordinates summons her to a warded castle in the Scottish Highlands. Somewhere between Gray Haven and the Gray Isles, her husband’s grandfather has vanished without a trace.
Viktor’s reach stretches farther than anyone guessed, and the Council sworn to stop him already has a traitor at the table. Amy came home to wait out a punishment. Instead, she’s staring down a war.
Will Lady Gray unite the old Houses against the Serpents, or will the changes inside her hand Viktor the weapon he’s wanted all along? Pick up Lady Gray and find out.
Title: Ascendant
Series: Free Judge Reborn Book 6
Release Date: 10/21/2026
Save a city, get branded its most wanted. Classic.
Kara Greims wanted one simple thing: protect Neo Los Angeles, save a friend, and maybe sleep for a week. The universe, as usual, had other plans.
A polished new governor has swept into office promising safety, order, and the head of the vigilante called Nemesis on a platter. He’s handsome. He’s beloved. He’s impossibly, suspiciously clean, and every instinct Kara has left is screaming that no one is that perfect. Proving it is another matter, especially now that he’s turned the police she once fought beside into the people hunting her.
She’s the last Free Judge of an ancient magical court, sworn to justice in a world that no longer wants her kind of help. She’s also running on fumes, and the clock is running down.
Grab ASCENDANT and slip back into the shadow city beneath Neo Los Angeles, included with Kindle Unlimited.Can Kara expose the man behind the smile? Will chasing the truth cost her the family she’s bled to protect?
Title: Bone Memory
Series: The Wolves of Blackpine Book 8
Release Date: 10/23/2026
Owen Cross remembers what was done. He’s just never been able to prove it.
He watched his pack cleared from a valley called Sable a long time ago, and he’s carried it since, quiet and alone. The Blackpine pack took him in two years back, figuring him for a wolf in his prime and not asking a lot of questions. And his real age is the one thing even Owen can’t explain.
Then the name Sable surfaces again, and Owen follows the trail to a courthouse basement in Montana.
Vera Shaw has been working the Sable case for years, pulled by something she can’t name. She looks up when Owen crouches to help her gather a spilled box of files, and her heart takes a tumble.
His wolf is never the same.
She’s been gathering the record for years, never knowing what it had to do with him. What they find together is bigger than what happened to Sable.
Fall into Bone Memory and find out what a wolf already knows.
