Starling

Mason Starling is a champion fencer on the Gosforth Academy team, but she's never had to fight for her life. Not until the night a ferocious, otherworldly storm rips through Manhattan, trapping Mason and her teammates inside the school. Mason is besieged by nightmarish creatures more terrifying than the thunder and lightning as the raging tempest also brings a dangerous stranger into her life: a young man who remembers nothing but his name-the Fennrys Wolf. His arrival tears Mason's world apart, even as she feels an undeniable connection to him. Together, they seek to unravel the secrets of Fenn's identity as strange and supernatural forces gather around them. When they discover Mason's family-with its dark allegiance to ancient Norse gods-is at the heart of the mystery, Fennrys and Mason are suddenly faced with a terrifying future. Set against the gritty, shadowed back-drop of New York City, this first novel in award-winning author Lesley Livingston's epic Starling Saga is an intoxicating blend of sweeping romance and pulse-pounding action.

The last thing Mason Starling remembers is the train crossing a bridge. An explosion . . . a blinding light . . . then darkness. Now she is alone, stranded in Asgard-the realm of Norse legend-and the only way for her to get home is to find the Spear of Odin, a powerful relic left behind by vanished gods. The Fennrys Wolf knows all about Asgard. He was once trapped there. And he'll do whatever it takes to find the girl who's stolen his heart and bring her back-even if it means a treacherous descent into the Underworld. But time is running out, and Fenn knows something Mason doesn't: If she takes up the Spear, she'll set in motion a terrible prophecy. And she won't just return to her world . . . she'll destroy it. In this pulse-pounding sequel to Starling, Lesley Livingston delivers another electrifying blend of nonstop action and undeniable romance that will leave readers breathless.

On a storm-swept terrace high above the streets of Manhattan, Mason Starling holds the fate of the world in her hands as her beloved Fennrys lies bleeding at her feet, his life hanging in the balance. The ancient Norse prophecy of Ragnarok stands poised on the knife's edge of fulfillment. Mason's transformation into a Valkyrie-a chooser of the slain and the one who will ultimately bring about the end of the world-is complete. Still, she remains determined to thwart her father's apocalyptic desires. But whatever is to come won't happen because of a prophecy, what Gunnar Starling plans, or what the fates have already decided. What happens next will be up to Mason and the Fennrys Wolf. And the world had better hope they haven't reached the limits of what their souls and swords can survive. Lesley Livingston has taken intense action and breathtaking romance to new heights in this epic conclusion to the Starling trilogy-a story readers will not want to put down.

Defender of the forgotten, keeper of divine ability, yielder to none . . .

Disoriented fae travelers arrive by the hundreds in search of Adeena, puzzling both her and her mate, Dreyden, High Lord of Fire Court. The high lord grants the travelers temporary refuge in Fire Court as they search for answers, but their rapidly growing numbers and fogged mental state stirs up trouble, forcing them to vacate. Under Lady Adeena's command, the refugees head for Tartarus in search of a new life, but are soon faced with a kingdom overrun by criminals and beastly creatures freshly unleashed from the Wychwood Forest. As the travelers regain glimpses of lost memories, Adeena is faced with new challenges that strain her relationship with Dreyden and pressure her to choose between the lost fae and her mate.
