The Gods are real and incorporated.
‘Pay to pray’ is a profitable global industry.

Loki has been disgraced and trapped in divinity’s answer to crap customer service for three hundred years. The PR machine makes him out to be the bad guy. Him. But that’s what happens when you lose a war.

All he has to do to regain his godly powers is avoid the seers, outwit the executives, and win a rematch against public perception. Easy.

Too bad he’s not the only one playing at espionage. When his chief executive is a narcissistic authoritarian and the combined might of the divine powers is ignoring humanity’s problems, he’s bound to aggravate some people — gods and mortals alike.

Mythology, blasphemy, and rebellion combine in this sacrilegious corporate fantasy reminiscent of The Boys meets Good Omens or American Gods. Because Gods may be many things, but ‘safe’ isn’t one of them.

A quirky pet goose, an arranged marriage she dreads, and a secret ability that could get her killed …

Alessa’s life is complicated.

I should know. I’ve spent the past few years of my immortal life at her side, watching over her through the eyes of her feathered companion.

With the town’s festival for Hades approaching and a visiting delegation from Sparta on the way, Alessa just needs to keep her head down and not reveal my existence. But this day is full of surprises, starting with the warrior we find in the woods.

This Spartan’s ego is as big as his sword, but Alessa can handle him. Too bad the missing princess he’s searching for isn’t our first disaster of the day … nor our last. By the time the bonfires are lit, Alessa’s only hope to save the princess and herself from a death sentence is to put her trust in two men.

  One is the stranger she’s been promised to in marriage.

  The other is the man she’s been forbidden to love all her life.

And me? I’ll have to save the rest of the town.

Because tonight is also the night my kind become monsters.

A cursed noblewoman. A broken dark-elf prince. A love that could save both their nations… or break their hearts.

By all appearances, Bella has lived a quiet life as a young noblewoman in her family’s castello—but in secret, she pens treatises criticizing the realm’s warmongers… and now there’s a price on her head. As she struggles to hide her seditious activities, a chance encounter with a unicorn leaves her with four hooves and a horn of her own—and a form she can’t control. The dark-elf queen has offered her a chance to acquire that control… if Bella can find the unicorn who turned her.

Prince Dhuro of Nightbloom has never met a problem he couldn’t solve with his fists—that is, until he fought for a place in the army’s elite forces and lost. Immortal beasts are growing in power and threatening his people, and he would much rather fight than dwell on all the ways his past broke him. His mother, the queen, sends him on a fool’s errand instead—helping a human newly turned unicorn find her sire, and asking the impossible: whether the pacifistic unicorns will stand with them against the beasts ravaging his people. Making things worse, Bella challenges his every decision, argues with him, infuriates him… until beneath the full moon, she shifts to her human form… and enchants him.

A war is raging, Dhuro must marry for political advantage, and only Bella’s sire can help her… And when the bounty hunters after her find them, Dhuro and Bella’s worldviews collide like life and death. But can Dhuro somehow be the answer to helping her control her form, and can she chase away his darkness? Can they find a way to be together and fight the war threatening to devour the land… or will it swallow them too?

Gargoyles and gods clash against evil. Can one weary soldier wield a celestial force to save the world?

Earth, modern day. Corporal Anna Mackenzie has had it up to here with fate. Irritated to be woken early from a two-year healing nap after inheriting a demigod’s immense power, she’s already battling the fractious magic that can’t wait to draw blood. But she’s seriously pissed to discover the military outpost she was sent to protect has been totally annihilated without any signs of survivors…

Being temporarily outclassed is one thing, but now her reckless action has awakened her dangerous gargoyle protector and he’s bigger and scarier than ever. Except he’s lost his memory, and Anna’s got to do some major hand-holding if they’re to hunt down a powerful creature unseen since ancient times. Oh yeah, and save the planet from doom… again.

Can the damaged pair unleash their formidable skills in time to stop Armageddon?

Sworn to Shadows is the fearsome first tale in the Legacy of Shadows contemporary fantasy series, a spin-off of the bestselling Gargoyle & Sorceress Tales. If you like snarky fighters, unbreakable bonds, and epic battles of good vs evil, then you’ll love Lisa Blackwood’s breakneck adventure.
